The Grammy Awards will take place in Los Angeles on February 4 and will be attended by some of the biggest names in the industry.
On music’s biggest night, fans of several artists waited in anticipation for which awards they would take home. Rap artist Nicki Minaj has one of the most militant fan bases in the industry, aptly named “Barbz.”
With the fan base firmly behind the New York native, you can imagine they weren’t happy when a social media blunder occurred Sunday night. Minaj’s song “Barbie World” was announced as the winner of Best Rap Song of the Year. But she didn’t win. The real winner was Killer Mike for “Scientists and Engineers.”
Twitter criticizes Nicki Minaj after Grammy mistake
Nicki Minaj is one of the most decorated artists of this generation. She has multiple platinum albums and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry. Drake, Kanye West, Beyonce and Jay-Z are just a few of the best she’s worked with. But the only thing she has missed is winning a Grammy Award.
Since he doesn’t have a Grammy yet, the mistake must have stung a little more. But that didn’t stop fans on the Internet from criticizing the rap star.
“Wow, that’s so embarrassing for Nicki and the Barbz! You’ll always be Nicki without Grammy. (Sorry but Ice),” said one user.
“THERE IS NO GRAMMY FOR YOUR GRANDMA,” said another user.
“They said April Fools’ Day came early,” another user joked.
The rap star turns up the heat with his female partner
Minaj has been in the headlines a lot lately. She recently re-entered the booth with her new song “Big Foot,” which was released last weekend. In the song, she takes aim at fellow rap star Megan Thee Stallion.
“Bad bitch, she likes six feet, I call her Bigfoot / The bitch fell down, I told her, ‘Get up on your good foot,’” Minaj says in the song.
The song appears to point to the 2020 incident between Meg and Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. Lanez shot the “WAP” rapper in the foot. The rapper was found guilty in 2023 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
