Nicki Minaj Cackles Over BET Awards’ Low Ratings

June 27, 2019. Leave a Comment

Queens-rapper Nicki Minaj had something to say today (June 27, 2019) about the 2019 BET Awards today and it wasn’t about any of the performances. Minaj who didn’t attend the show was happy to point out that BET’s ratings for the show hit an all-time low with just two million viewers, according to Twitter account @musicnewsfacts. (According to TV by the Numbers, BET Awards won the evening’s No. 1 spot on cable TV with 2.43 million viewers)

On Twitter, Minaj 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.”

While nominated for best female rapper, Minaj chose not to attend the award show because of a February 2019 BET tweet that simultaneously celebrated Cardi B for winning a Grammy while also dragging Minaj.

In a since-deleted tweet linking to the Grammy story, BET wrote, “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.” Minaj clapped back with a quickness and let it be known she was dropping out of a planned BET concert.

BET did its best to walk back the tweet with a lengthy statement praising Minaj that included an apology but the damage was done, and by the sounds of things four months after the fact, the relationship is still splintered.

Check out Minaj’s tweets below:

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
