After the BET. Awards reportedly received the lowest ratings in its history, Nicki Minaj made sure to run it in. While posting a link to the supposed low viewership numbers, she tweeted: “”When u go out of ur way to b spiteful & hurt artists who have always supported ur show. When you fire great ppl who have put their heart & soul into the show… when you’d rather be a messy reality show than a prestigious award show… when ur still being dragged by that lace.”
Nicki’s beef with BET started after the official BET website posted an article about Cardi B being the first female rapper to win Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys. The post included a shot at Nicki saying, “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.”
Both Nicki and Lil Wayne chose not to perform at the 2019 BET Experience concert that happened before the awards show.
