On Thursday (Oct. 13), the GRAMMYs released the list of artists who submitted their music for consideration. Among the artists on that list was Nicki Minaj who submitted her latest single, “Super Freaky Girl” for GRAMMY consideration in the rap category.

However, the New York rapper was met with a surprised when the Recording Academy committee reportedly moved the record from rap to a pop category. “I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY,” she tweeted Thursday evening.

“I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY,” Minaj tweeted late Thursday, in response to reports that her submission had been moved out of her chosen category. “If SFG (‘Super Freaky Girl’) has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy!” she continued, referring to the Latto‘s hit single. “ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll.”

Nicki Minaj continued on Instagram Live where she stated, “Now, let’s say that ‘Super Freaky Girl’ is a pop song. Let’s just say that. What is ‘Big Energy’? … If you move ‘Super Freaky Girl’ out of rap and put it in pop, do the same thing for ‘Big Energy.’ Same producers on both songs, by the way. So let’s keep shit fair. Even when I’m rapping on a pop track, I still out-rap.”

Minaj then hopped back on Twitter to call out Latto. She reportedly believes that she is not being fairly and Latto isn’t speaking up about “Big Energy” being a ‘pop’ song following their conversation via text.

Latto responded to Minaj after posting their conversation and referred to the “We Go Up” rapper as a bully.

Earlier this month, tensions between BIA and Cardi B appeared to be building.

The alleged feud came when Cardi B released her “Like What (freestyle),” sampling Missy Elliott‘s 1999 single, “She’s A Bi**h.” This prompted BIA to address the matter on X (formerly known as Twitter), highlighting similarities to her own track, “I’m That B***h,” featuring Timbaland, which also sampled the same record.

The feud progressed when Cardi B previewed her new record, “Enough (Miami),” which fans think draws parallel to BIA’s 2023 ‘REALLY HER‘ EP single, “Fallback.” The visual to Cardi’s new record also similarly looks like BIA’s “Millions.”


Ahead of the record’s release, Cardi responded on X, teasing, “B**ches make a fool of themselves every single time [crying face emoji] .. ima show ya something when I release this song tho [winking face emoji].”


Their relationship wasn’t always strained. In 2021, Cardi’s breakout hit “Bodak Yellow” achieved diamond certification, which prompted BIA to express admiration on social media. “If you’re not inspired you’re not paying attention,” she acknowledged. “You can at least be a fan of someone’s work ethic, growth, and contributions. & I’ve been writing for 10 years, what she’s accomplished is NOT EASY.”

Addressing rumors of a rift, BIA clarified, “Sweetie, I didn’t switch up on anybody because I don’t know Cardi in real life. I’ve never met Cardi, we’ve never had a conversation. Like, I don’t have no issues with her, it’s all love, but I don’t know her. Y’all do too much on this app, I don’t know her in real life.”

She ended with, “Ask me about somebody I know. Ask me about somebody I’ve met in real life, not online.”

Within his reflection, Kanye, of course took the opportunity to address certain grievances, calling out Drake for what he perceived as an untimely move by including Lil Durk at the beginning of the Vultures rollout. Drake recently brought along Lil Durk into the closing dates of his tour, It’s All a Blur – Big as the What?, alongside J. Cole.

“And it’s f**k Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

Durk is featured on the title track of Vultures with Ye and Ty Dolla Sign.

Ye also took the opportunity to once again, Adidas, as well as the U.K. outlet, Daily Mail, and Hailey Bieber.
