(Bennett Raglin/Getty, Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic) American rapper Big Latto got into a major internet feud with rapper Nicki Minaj after a report stated that the latter’s single Super Freaky Girl would not be considered for any rap categories at the 2023 Grammy Awards. On Thursday, October 13, the 39-year-old star took to her Twitter handle to express her displeasure at her song being moved from the rap to pop category for the music awards and stated that Big Latto’s single Big Energy should also have the same treatment as hers. Nicki Minaj@NICKIMINAJI have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY. If SFG has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy!

Minaj called the 23-year-old rapper a “Karen” and “scratch-off” for not supporting her even though she dubbed Minaj as her “biggest inspiration.” The back-and-forth between the rappers heated up to the point that Big Latto dissed Nicki Minaj, calling her a “bully.” “I’ve ignored countless subtweets since March and instead addressed u in the dm. You’re asking why I didn’t speak up in ur defense… it’s the same answer I gave u when u asked why I didn’t congratulate you. Ur literally older than my mom tryna be a bully @NICKIMINAJ” To this, the Anaconda rapper raised questions about Latto’s parents.

However, things changed after a while when a Twitter user, who has since made their profile private, posted screenshots of Latto's mother's age, seemingly insinuating that she was underage and her father was over 30 when they had her. In a tweet that has since been deleted, Minaj wrote: "Scratch off getcho dumb a** to the mic RIGHT NOW!!!!! Explain this shit!!!!! Since you just became a r*pe activist in the last 5 minutes h** you BETTA HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS SHIT!!!!! RIGHT TF NOW!!!!! this BETTA be a typo." View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Big Latto, whose real name is Alyssa Michelle Stephens, is the daughter of Shayne Stephens and Misti Pitts, who are of different races - her father is black, while her mother is white. Latto has previously discussed how she was bullied at school for being "light-skinned," which led her to adopt the stage name "Miss Mulatto." Merriam-Webster dubs the word "usually offensive," stating that it refers to a child of a black and a white person. As of this article's writing, Latto has not responded to Minaj's since-deleted tweet and claims. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Shreya Das × Feedback Thank You!
