Things are already heating up between Nicki Minaj and the Grammys, and we haven't even made it to nominations yet.
Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter released an exclusive story claiming Nicki Minaj's Pop hit "Super Freaky Girl" was kicked out of the Grammy's rap category and sent over to fight for a nomination in Pop. According to THR, Nicki submitted "Super Freaky Girl" for consideration in the rap category back in August; however, the rap committee overturned that submission and placed it in Best Pop Solo Performance, according to a source.
Now, this "source" is someone on the rap committee. Let me find out it's Brooklyn Johnny...LOL.
DEAR GRAMMYS
In response, Nicki Minaj posted a 16 min video, "Dear Grammys," where she seemed more focused on campaigning for Latto to get kicked out of rap categories than arguing why Super Freaky Girl should not be moved to Pop.
Nicki, who consistently drags other artists into her beefs, asked, "If Super Freaky Girl Is A Pop Song, What Song Is Big Energy?" She then went into her usual diatribe about corporate giants and people behind the scenes elevating new artists before U-turning to answer her own question, "If Super Freaky Girl is Pop, then so is Big Energy. If you move Super Freaky Girl out of Rap and put it in Pop, do the same thing with Big Energy."
If this isn't some crab-in-a-barrel bullshit, then I do not know what is. Nicki Minaj finds comfort in beefing with other Black women and uses it as a distraction from addressing real issues. Nicki having a song on the rap charts and now being in a Pop category for the Grammys is not unusual. Lizzo's "Truth Hurt" spent 13 weeks on the rap charts and then competed in Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammys. Also, she does not know what the committees did or plan to do with "Big Energy," which HITS Daily Double reported 2 weeks ago, had an uphill battle because the song is considered more Pop.
Speaking of committees, Nicki should be worried about who is this rap committee person who ran to THR to tell them this story. This was obviously done to embarrass her and to provoke a reaction that would turn off any sympathy votes for a Grammy. Did Nicki get tricked out of her spot....again?
This may be a sign that Nicki Minaj will be blackballed again, and this time they plan to pack her the fck up.
Speak, Heart, Share...Thanks!
