An angry Minaj, 39, went on Instagram Live and Twitter to complain about how unfair this was and she also issued an ultimatum.
Rappers Nicki Minaj and Latto quarrel on Twitter after Grammys Update
Rapper Nicki Minaj, real name Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, quarrelled bitterly with rapper Latto, real name Alyssa Michelle Stephens, after Latto’s song “Big Energy” was nominated for a rap category at The Grammys yet Minaj’s song “Super Freaky Girl” was not even considered for any rap categories.

“If SFG [Super Freaky Girl] has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy!” she wrote. “ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll.”
Minaj did not stop there as she re-quoted a tweet supporting her thinking.
A fan posted a screenshot of rapper Latto tweeting that “Big Energy”, her nominated song, is a pop song.
The fan accompanied this screenshot with a video clip of the Atlanta rapper (Latto) saying she’s in her “pop bag.”
To this, Minaj simply commented, “Yikes.”
Following up with another tweet, Minaj said: “Could you imagine someone telling you not to “complain” about being treated unfairly at your workplace? This is my job. I work very hard. No diff from a 9-5 where you should speak up for yourself if you know you’re a great employee & continue to be purposely sabotaged.”
The Twitter streets, so often paved by negative intentions, connected both rappers’ posts to each other once Latto seemingly responded to Minaj’s tweet 17-minutes later with, “Damn I can’t win for losing… all these awards/noms I can’t even celebrate.”
Earlier, Latto shared the good news that her song “Big Energy” received an American Music Award nomination for the Favourite Hip-Hop Song category.
