The weekend leading up to last night’s BET Awards was marred by violence. 1 man is dead and 5 others were injured in separate incidents in Los Angeles. But the show must go on — and on, and on… Most people (this writer included) didn’t stay up for the almost 4 hourlong awards show. So we missed the part when rapper Nicki Minaj accepted her trophy for best female hip hop artist — and dissed pseudo-rapper Iggy Azalea at the same time.
During her acceptance speech, Minaj made it clear that she is the realest there ever was — not Azalea, who doesn’t even write her own rhymes — a felony in the world of hip hop.
“You guys this is always very, very emotional for me because this is my fifth year winning this award, and I don’t take it for granted,” Minaj said. “I really don’t. I thank God that I’ve been placed in a position to represent women in a culture that is so male driven. And I want you to know this. I’m working on an album called the ‘Pink Print,’ but that’s not a plug… but it’s a plug. But my point is, what I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it.”
Minaj also shared a very personal experience with the BET audience. Minaj, it seems, suffers from panic attacks.
She said she thought she was going to die during her latest panic attack, but she didn’t call an ambulance because she was afraid she would end up on all the gossip blogs.
