BET Apologises To Nicki Minaj For Shading Her While Congratulating Cardi B On Her Grammy Win

BET has apologised to Nicki Minaj after they posted a tweet shading her following Cardi’s Grammy win.

In a now-deleted tweet, BET retweeted an article saying Cardi B is
the first solo female rapper to win best rap album. The caption for the
photo read: “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.”

In anger, Nicki pulled her BET Experience performance. She announced that she and her label, Young Money, would not be part of the BET Experience later this summer – which is a concert series she and Cardi were booked to co-headline just days before the BET Awards in June. 

Nicki called out BET for their tweet. 

BET has now released a statement revealing the offensive post was unauthorized.

The network says:

BET loves Nicki Minaj. We have supported her from the very beginning
of her career and will continue to do so moving forward. Nicki has paved
the way for so many performers and has solidified her place as one of
the most powerful figures in the music industry.

They added:

Unfortunately the respect we have for Nicki was violated by this post
that should never have been written. The post does not reflect how we
feel about Nicki. And further does not reflect our company values. We
deeply apologize for the hurt, disappointment and confusion that this
post has caused. We are committed to doing everything we can to address
the situation.

BET also says:

We are also conducting an internal audit to assure these types of
posts are not published again.  We have apologized to Nicki and her
team. The post has been removed and we have taken additional appropriate
action. We understand Nicki’s position and look forward to continuing
our dialogue with her. Finally, we apologize to all of her fans. This
should have never happened.
