Nicki Minaj Calls Out Grammys for Moving ‘Super Freaky Girl’ From Rap to Pop, Claims Latto Is Treated Differently

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Nicki Minaj is protesting the Recording Academy shifting her “Super Freaky Girl” from consideration in the Grammys’ rap division to a pop category, saying that she would be OK with the shift if it were applied consistently to other artists that straddle the crossover line, which she believes is not the case. “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 added, referring to the Latto hit of that name. “ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll.” And yet, nuancing the situation, Minaj acknowledged that her song may not be the most hardcore number on the scene — and that she would root for other candidates to win in rap, as long as other songs that lean as pop as hers, namely “Big Energy,” get the same treatment. “I’d actually LUV 2 c a more street record win — male OR female!” she wrote, adding, “IJS (I’m just saying) rightIsRight.”I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY.

If SFG has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy! ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll. I’d actually LUV 2 c a more street record win- male OR female!
