Nicki Minaj Throws Buckets of Shade at Iggy Azalea at BET Awards
Latest
During Sunday’s BET Awards, Nicki Minaj won the Best Female MC trophy and took time during her acceptance speech to dress down her competition. Considering her only contemporary chart-worthy rival is Iggy Azalea, it’s safe to say Iggy was the target of her shade (thrown while professing “no shade”).
Teetering toward the stage, until Lil Wayne realized, “Hey, Nicki probably needs help,” the “Pills and Potions” artist received her award from presenter Floyd “I post sonograms on Facebook” Mayweather, thanked her fans and noted that she’s won five times consecutively. Nicki added that she doesn’t take the award for granted and appreciates being able to represent the ladies in a “culture that’s so male-driven.” And then Nicki got into what she really wanted to address: her rivals.
