Don’t ignore her! Nicki Minaj, there was internal turmoil last week when she called out the Grammy Award for transitioning her hit ‘Super Freaky Girl’ from rap to pop, and it looks like the stuntman has may have attracted their attention.
According to a recent report from Variety, Grammy voters who received their ballots have reported that Nicki is competing in the Best Rap Performance category for another of her songs.
The song considered for Best Rap Performance was her single, ‘Do We Have a Problem,’ which featured Lil Baby. The single dropped in February and landed on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart at number two. Variety also reported that she would appear more in the rap portion of the Grammy ballot for collaborative songs. .
Coi Leray’s song featuring Nicki, ‘Blick Blick’ was also on the ballot for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. Yung Bleu’s song, ‘Love In The Way’, in which she also featured, was also listed among the songs eligible for Best Rap Song and Best Melodic Rap Performance.
Will Nicki Minaj and Lotto patch things up?
Even though the entire Grammy Award nominations haven’t officially dropped, Nicki’s newly arrived beef jerky with Latto has many wondering if there will ever be a unity among rappers. As we previously reported on October 13, the Queens-born singer went live for seventeen minutes, expressing her disappointment at the genre change while photographing Latto for the song. Her song, ‘Big Energy’, stands out in the rap genre.
Unfortunately, the two started a nasty exchange that took place on Twitter. In total, Nicki appeared eight times on the ballot. Once in the pop category, twice in the music video and five times in the rap category.
Last night, Nicki also discussed why she thinks the Grammys are suddenly considering her in the rap categories more according to reports. Onika said she felt like the awards show “infuriated” her fans by not explaining why “Super Freaky Girl” was classified as a pop song.
The official Grammy nominations will be announced on Tuesday, November 15. Roommates, will you be watching to see if Nicki wins her first Grammy on February 5?
