Nicki Minaj Responds To Grammys Removing Her Song From Rap Categories, Calls Out Academy Over Another Song

Following the news that her song “Super Freaky Girl” was booted from the rap category at the Grammys, Nicki Minaj has responded to the move by speaking out. She said that the Grammys have a long history of nominating songs in pop categories, including Post Malone’s “Better Now” and Doja Cat’s “Say So.” She said that she doesn’t mind being put in a pop category as long as it is a level playing field.

Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” has been booted from the rap category

Following the announcement that her song will not be competing in the rap category, Nicki Minaj has taken to social media to express her frustration. The singer has said that the decision to remove the song from the rap category is unfair and she wants to know why. The Grammys rap committee overturned Nicki’s decision and determined the song should compete in the pop category instead.

Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freak Girl” has been booted from the Grammys rap category after sampling Rick James’ classic song “Tremendous Freak.” Minaj’s song has been a smash hit, spending a record-breaking eighth week on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart.

Many GRAMMY voters are unhappy with the decision, saying that the song feels more like Pop music than rap. However, Nicki Minaj’s response to the controversy suggests that the Grammys are using a double standard to exclude her. She argues that because she’s not signed to a 360 deal, the powers that be have an agenda against her. Nicki Minaj has now called for the GRAMMY board to reveal who made the decision.

Charli XCX’s frustration with the lack of female representation at the Grammys

This year’s Grammys were dominated by men, with nine percent of nominees being women. This underrepresentation has caused a stir in the music industry. Artists such as Pink, Charli XCX, and other women in the industry have criticized Neil Portnow and the Recording Academy for their tone-deaf comments.

The Grammys have been in the spotlight since the Grammy Awards first began, but they have failed to fully take part in conversations surrounding gender equality. For example, they haven’t coordinated with Time’s Up, which has been organizing protests at the SAG Awards and Golden Globes this year. Fortunately, other groups have been working to change this, and a white rose campaign was launched on Wednesday before the Grammys. It’s a small but important step, said Meg Harkins, the organizer of the campaign.

The lack of female representation at the Grammys was a major topic of conversation at the awards ceremony. Neil Portnow, the president of the Recording Academy, and Ken Ehrlich, executive producer of the Grammy telecast, admitted in a press conference that they were surprised by the lack of female representation at the awards show. Thankfully, both Pink and Charli XCX addressed the situation and called for a change.

Nicki Minaj’s tweets about abolishing the Grammys

Recently, Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the Grammys. In a series of tweets, she looked back at a year where she felt overlooked by the voting public. She revealed that she did not receive a best new artist award. This tweet has caused quite a stir.

Minaj is not the only one to criticize the Grammys. She has also publicly announced that she will not attend the BET Experience festival this year. BET’s awards show recently received the lowest ratings in its history. The singer has previously said she has no grudges with anyone, so the tweets are not entirely unfounded. However, BET did apologize to Minaj and said they are now conducting an internal investigation.

While Minaj’s tweets about abolishing The Grammys have sparked criticism, it’s not the only artist who’s upset about the Grammys. Taylor Swift, who’s been nominated for an MTV Video Music Award, tweeted back. Minaj was not nominated for the video, and Swift felt that Minaj was unfairly blaming her. Instead, she believes Minaj should have gotten the award.
