In a tweet that was supposed to congratulate Cardi, BET wrote that while Bardi was out here winning awards, Minaj was being dragged by her lacefront.

This made Minaj pull out from BET’s show where she was supposed to perform, despite their apologies.

It was in the highlight of all of this that the rapper stood up for both Cardi and Minaj during a ‘State of the Culture’ session alongside Joe Budden.

She said: “BET is supposed to be Black Entertainment Television. Why would y’all do that? Why would y’all be pitting two against each other? How could you congratulate one – because that’s what it was, it was a congratulations to Cardi for winning – and then in your next breath, you downgraded someone else. Not only someone else, someone that you have slated to perform at one of your shows. That was just a stupid business move.”
