Nicki Minaj’s swipe at Grammys for changing song category pulls Latto into Twitter feud
LA TimesNicki Minaj has taken shots at the Recording Academy and “Big Energy” singer Latto on Twitter. The exchange on Twitter began with Minaj reacting late Thursday to the Recording Academy’s decision to challenge her intentions to submit hit “Super Freaky Girl” for rap nominations at the 2023 Grammys. While speaking out about the Grammys’ decision on Instagram, Minaj latched onto Latto’s hit “Big Energy,” suggesting that it also should be moved to the same category as “Super Freaky Girl.” “If you can’t tell by now, there is a concerted effort to give newer artists things that they really don’t deserve over people who have been deserving for many years,” Minaj continued. IJS rightIsRight 🫡 — Nicki Minaj October 13, 2022 Like clockwork, Minaj’s devoted fans supported her tweet and pulled up the receipts of Latto seemingly calling “Big Energy” a pop song. She said she agrees with Minaj’s points about fairness, but added “the way u going about it seems malicious.” Latto said Thursday wasn’t the first time she’s avoided “subtweets” from the “Super Bass” rapper and called Minaj a “bully.” As Thursday evening went on, Latto shared her collection of screenshots of Minaj fans seemingly facing criticism from Minaj for even mentioning the “Big Energy” singer.
