Recall that at the beginning of the year, Nicki Minaj called out the BET Network after they sent out a tweet undermining her career success. When Cardi B won Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys, BET threw a major shade at Nicki, riting that she was ‘being dragged by her lace front’. The singer was understandably upset when she saw the post, calling them out and urging them to put some respect on her name.
Everything came full circle because months later, BET celebrated their annual awards show which experienced record-low ratings, only managing to keep 2 million viewers entertained. The most recent BET Awards ceremony became the worst-rated edition of the show in history. Nicki Minaj got hold of the numbers and took her turn throwing shots at the network.

Taking to her twitter, she wrote, “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.”
The last remark is a direct reply to the wig-dragging shade thrown in February. Nicki Minaj hs since pulled out of her future appearances at BET events and doesn’t look interested in supporting the network any longer.
