Here is everything you need to know.
Nicki Minaj calls out to the Grammys
Nicki Minaj brought Latto into the drama after it was reported that her single ‘Super Freaky Girl’ will not be considered for hip-hop categories at the Grammys. It will rather be nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance.
Additionally, rumors are going around that Latto’s hit song ‘Big Energy’ is being considered for at least one rap category at the Recording Academy.
She wrote, ‘Now, let’s say that ‘Super Freaky Girl’ is a pop song. Let’s just say that. What is [Latto’s] ‘Big Energy’? If you move ‘Super Freaky Girl’ out of rap and put it in pop, do the same thing for ‘Big Energy.’
“BEEN subbing… super freaky grandma is married AND related to fucking rapists. You ain’t gone bully me BITCH! My idol turned rival now u hating!”

Furthermore, she added, ‘Same producers on both songs, by the way. So let’s keep shit fair.’
The 39-year-old rapper claimed in one of her tweets, ‘If SFG has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy! ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll.’
Subsequently, when a fan noted that Latto ‘herself has even called it pop’, Minaj replied with, ‘Yikes.’

The beef between Nicki Minaj and Latto erupts
Latto took to her Twitter account seemingly to indirectly respond to Nicki Minaj’s claims.
She said, ‘Damn I can’t win for losing…all these awards/noms I can’t even celebrate.’
Meanwhile, moments later Minaj shared a screengrab of an exchange where an artist revealed that they are using the Super Bass artist’s name to prove a point.
Moreover, she captioned the post by saying, ‘This Karen has probably mentioned my name in over 100 interviews. Says she waited in line for Pink Friday w|her Barbie chain on, bangs, pink hair…but today, scratch off decides to be silent; rather than speak up for the black woman she called her biggest inspiration.’
Nicki Minaj says she recorded the entire phone call where Latto claims Nicki said she isn’t “flourishing” and that “no one cares” about her “little song.” pic.twitter.com/pSXUEfmV5u

The 23-year-old hitmaker on the other hand clapped back. She stated that Minaj was talking about her in the latest tweet.
She stated, ‘1st of all I texted u cause I didn’t wanna do the internet sht w sum1 I looked up to. Just like the 1st time I DMed u asking about ur ongoing subtweets.’
Latto then went on add, ‘I wanted to speak up cuz like I said I do agree but the way u going about it seems malicious esp. after how we left off.’
