Nicki Minaj has pulled her Black Entertainment Television (BET) Experience performance after they shaded her while praising Cardi B on her Grammy Awards win.
In a now-deleted tweet, BET shared an article saying Cardi B is the first solo female rapper to win best rap album.
Their caption read: “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.”
BET was called out for the tweet and they took it down. But Nicki later took to Twitter to write:
“Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show. Summer Tour dates dropping soon “
Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show. ?????? Summer Tour dates dropping soon ?
Nicki also went ahead to retweet posts by Twitter users calling out BET for disrespecting Nicki. She captions it: “Meanwhile, BET is being dragged by their lace front. ?”
BET has now released a statement revealing the offensive post was unauthorised.
They released a statement which reads:
“BET loves Nicki Minaj. We have supported her from the very beginning of her career and will continue to do so moving forward. Nicki has paved the way for so many performers and has solidified her place as one of the most powerful figures in the music industry.
“Unfortunately the respect we have for Nicki was violated by this post that should never have been written. The post does not reflect how we feel about Nicki. And further does not reflect our company values. We deeply apologize for the hurt, disappointment and confusion that this post has caused. We are committed to doing everything we can to address the situation.
“We are also conducting an internal audit to assure these types of posts are not published again. We have apologized to Nicki and her team. The post has been removed and we have taken additional appropriate action. We understand Nicki’s position and look forward to continuing our dialogue with her. Finally, we apologize to all of her fans. This should have never happened.”
