Nicki Minaj and Latto beef over Grammy category for Super Freaky Girl

New York, New York - The Recording Academy, who oversees the Grammy Awards, has decided to move the Nicki Minaj single Super Freaky Girl from its rap category to pop – and the rapper is not happy about it at all.

Minaj took to her social media to vent her frustration, and she couldn't help but drag another artist into the mix too.

"I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we [are] ALL being treated fairly," she explained in a Twitter post on Thursday.

"If SFG has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy!" Minaj added, referring to a single by Latto that has propelled the new artist to stardom.

Nicki later posted a 17-minute-long follow-up video on Instagram and let loose: "They move the goalposts when it comes to me because in order for them to uplift the people who they want to shine, the people who these corporate giants can make the money off of, the people who control a lot of things behind the scenes, they have to elevate someone that they profit off."

Latto, meanwhile, had no intention of letting the callout slide. The 23-yeear-old clapped back at Minaj, accusing the rapper of being "literally older than my mom tryna be a bully."

She later shared a private convo between the two about the situation, and asked "where the random shade started coming from," and the two continued a back-and-forth on Twitter, with Nicki calling her fellow rapper a "BOZO" at one point.

Twitter quickly turned the beef into a hashtag, with #40YearOldBully trending for long stretches as many took Latto's side.

Nicki Minaj later deleted most of her replies to Latto.
