Nicki Minaj's swipe at Grammys for changing song category pulls Latto into Twitter feud

Nicki Minaj is beefing with a fellow artist on Twitter, again. This time, the "Anaconda" rapper is going back and forth with "Big Energy" musician Latto.

The exchange on Twitter began with Minaj reacting late Thursday to the Recording Academy's decision to challenge her intentions to submit hit "Super Freaky Girl" for rap nominations at the 2023 Grammys. The Recording Academy's rap committee decided that the song should instead vie for a pop solo performance nomination, despite her song topping Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart since it dropped in August.

Minaj wasn't expecting the pivot to pop. At the Grammy Awards, a majority of Minaj's nominations have been for rap categories, from her first nod in 2011 for Ludacris collaboration "My Chick Bad" to her 2016 rap album nomination for "The Pinkprint."
