Azealia Banks Calls BET Awards ‘Bogus,’ Says Nicki Minaj Wins ‘Every Year’
Azealia Banks is never one to hide her feelings, and it’s safe to say she’s really not feeling her BET Award nomination for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist
Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Trina, Tink and Dej Loaf are up for the honor along with Banks, who took to Twitter on Monday to express her thoughts on the “bogus” award show:

The female rap award at the bet awards goes to nicki every year, it’s not even a real award anymore lol it’s a bit of a running joke.

They should just nominate nicki five times with five different wigs on and pick the best picture lol

Minaj certainly has been a favorite at the BET Awards and has taken home the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist for the last five consecutive years. She has yet to respond to Banks’ comments, but she’s likely basking in the afterglow of dropping the video for “Feeling Myself” with Beyonce.
Besides, Banks claims her comments weren’t supposed to be taken as jabs at Minaj anyway:
3,2,1 all the urban media sites gonna run a headline saying I’m throwing shots. Black media is so stupid and pointless. What a shitty cycle.

I really really can’t win with black men and It’s really so so sad. Like truly and honestly sad.

I try and laugh it off but it’s really hard being shitted on by the same men you’d lose your life to defend….. Lol
