Meanwhile Nicki Minaj knocked the Recording Academy over an award she lost to Bon Iver (American Indie folk band) in 2012. Apparently, she assumes its because she’s a woman of color. Even so, there’s been allegations by many concerning racism at the Grammys.

“Never forget the Grammys didn’t give me my best new artist award when I had 7 songs simultaneously charting on billboard & bigger first week than any female rapper in the last decade- went on to inspire a generation. They gave it to the white man Bon Iver,” Nicki wrote.
