Nicki also said soon, there wouldn’t be any Black female rappers. She also made it clear that her comments weren’t made to say any song or female rapper is bad.
Nicki got a few mo’ things off her chest about “Super Freaky Girl” being removed from the rap categor. She compared Latto’s “Big Energy” to “Super Freaky Girl” and said the songs have the same producers.
Nicki Minaj speaks on the Grammys & nominations.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Trinidadian-born artist submitted the track to various hip-hop categories for the 2023 Grammy Awards; however, a source claimed the Academy pulled the track from rap consideration after determining it was better suited for Best Pop Solo Performance. As THR points out, the move is particularly notable as “Super Freaky Girl” has dominated the rap charts since it debuted at No. 1 back in August.
In addition to spending eight weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart, it also garnered more than 3 million Spotify streams following its release, marking the biggest debut for a solo female hip-hop record in the platform’s history.
The insider said the decision was primarily based on the playful, poppy of the song, which samples Rick James’ iconic 1981 hit “Super Freak.” THR writes that there have been other tracks with “rap elements” that have competed for pop awards. These include Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts,” Doja Cat’s “Say So,” and Post Malone’s “Better Now.”
