Nicki Minaj made quite the revelation on Stationhead, recalling how the Recording Academy allegedly offered her a position on the board. The Bed rapper revealed she was given an invitation but ultimately turned it down, citing her integrity. This comes just days after she set the internet ablaze with tweets aimed at Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and Megan Thee Stallion. Heres what happened
During a recent Stationhead livestream on Thursday, July 10, Nicki Minaj revealed that the Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammys, had come knocking with a major offer. At one point, the Grammys asked me to be on the board. I appreciated it, she said, calling it a very, very, very kind gesture. But Nicki said no thanks.
My integrity couldnt allow me to sit on the board of something that made absolutely no sense to me and to anyone that understands, she explained.
She claims this all occurred before the release of her album ‘Pink Friday 2’ in December 2023. But Nicki made it clear she wasnt about to compromise her principles and decided not to join. She even threw in some shade, questioning, Why would I be sitting on the board if I dont have a Grammy? With 12 nominations and zero wins, Nicki is clearly baffled why she was asked to begin with.
Nickis history with the Grammys appears to date back well over a decade. Back in 2012, she was set to hit the stage with her song Roman Holiday, and the Barbz were hyped. But the day before the show, tragedy struck with Whitney Houstons passing. According to Nicki, the Grammy producers tried to pull her performance, claiming it wasnt the right time.
But Nicki wasnt having it. She did the promo, her fans were ready, and she didnt want to let them down. She moved ahead with an exorcism-themed performance that had everyone talking. The Academys producer, Ken Ehrlich, wasnt thrilled either, especially when Nicki clapped back, saying they knew her plans all along.
Even then it made absolutely no sense [] This is after I had done a bunch of commercials withLL Cool Jto promote the Grammys [], Nicki said, per Complex. After I did everything they asked, they told me not to perform. I said, No, Im going to perform.’
That moment left a sour taste, and Nicki believes this is why she was allegedly snubbed for a Grammy win despite her many nominations.
Nickis not just throwing shade at the Grammys; shes aimed her attention at many others in the industry lately. Recently, she lit up X with posts targeting Jay-Z, Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, and Megan Thee Stallion. The Hard White rapper claimed Hov owes her big bucks, allegedly $100-200 million, from her equity in Tidals 2021 sale.
Nicki tweeted shell use it to fund her #StudentOfTheGame charity for fans college fees. JayZ, call me to settle this karmic debt, she wrote, still calling him a top-five fave, though. She also dragged Perez, accusing her of abusing her daughter, Demoree Hadley, referencing a lawsuit where Hadley claimed Perez falsely detained her. Nicki even tied it to her own swatting incidents, hinting at a pattern between the two.
Then, she reignited her feud with Megan Thee Stallion, shading her over a sexual harassment lawsuit from Megans ex-cameraman, Emilio Garcia, that a judge refused to dismiss. Nicki referenced Megans ‘Hiss’ diss about her husband, Kenneth Petty, and karma coming full circle.
What was the name of that law again???????? Karmas Law? Touch not my anointed law? Vengeance is the Lords law? Nicki said in an Instagram post. “We give God the glory & hes only just begun. Have a blessed day if you can. lol the blogs posting lies, thank you. More money for me. Were working. Trust.
