The Grammys seem to have dug themselves another hole. But instead of coming together to slam their mistake, Nicki and Latto are going after each other.
That might have been that — until Latto tweeted, “Damn I can’t win for losing… all these awards/noms I can’t even celebrate,” a line that many onlookers perceived as a response to Nicki’s commentary on the Grammys.
An apparently agitated Latto then tweeted, “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. 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.” Latto added, “With all this being said this wasn’t JUST about a Grammy category. U being funny bringing me up to defend ur case knowing our last convo didn’t end on good terms.
It’s worth considering that many of these artists share the same flock of fans — until dividing lines of standom are drawn. Nicki Minaj’s Barbs are particularly fervent about advocating for her, consistently working together to rev her songs to the top of the charts, and placing anyone who’s slighted her in their crosshairs for perpetuity. And they don’t just go at rappers.
It’s a shame that no one is taking a closer look at the main culprit here: the ever-bungling Grammy committee. This isn’t the first example of their inability to properly categorize Black music, especially from rappers. As Minaj noted in her Instagram Live session, Drake was confused about why “Hotline Bling” won a rap Grammy, telling DJ Semtexthat “I’m a Black artist, I’m apparently a rapper, even though ‘Hotline Bling’ is not a rap song.
