BET Releases Stats For The Concluded 2019 Awards

We reported earlier today that rap star Nicki Minaj trolled BETs for having low rating record in the just concluded award show.

BET diminished Nicki Minaj’s career when Cardi B won her first Grammy Award ahead of Nicki Minaj.

They sent a congratulatory message to Cardi for becoming the first female solo rap act to win the award and threw shade at Nicki over the win, writing, “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.”

The recent 2019 BET Awards ceremony became the worst-rated edition of the show in history and Nicki Minaj is pretty ecstatic about that. Yeah! She publicly trolled the BETs for their low rating..

When u go out of ur way to b spiteful & hurt artists who have always supported ur show… when you fire great ppl who have put their heart & soul into the show… when you’d rather be a messy reality show than a prestigious award show… when ur still being dragged by that lace https://t.co/DOYKmgAlyr
