Another day, another female rap beef. Nicki Minaj apparently has a bone to pick with Latto, who she feels should have come to her defense following the latest Grammy nomination news.
Before we get to the series of tweets, here's a little context. The Hollywood Reporter did an exclusive report revealing that back in August Nicki Minaj submitted her hit single Super Freaky Girl for the rap category, but was told this week that it will compete in the pop category.
So instead of just being happy that it's being nominated, and taking her frustration out on the Recording Academy's rap committee, who were the ones that decided the song wasn't "rap enough," she decided to channel her frustrations towards someone who doesn't even have the power to make such decisions.
Enter Latto's 'Big Energy' into the conversation.
Latto didn't appreciate Nicki calling her out on social media, and let her know privately via text. Nicki decided to pull a Koonye and shared a screenshot of their conversation, calling Latto a 'Karen' in the process.
This Karen has probably mentioned my name in over 100 interviews. Says she waited in line for Pink Friday w|her Barbie chain on, bangs, pink hair…but today, scratch off decides to be silent; rather than speak up for the black woman she called her biggest inspiration. ???? pic.twitter.com/jYSmQ955TI
Latto took to Twitter to reveal that this isn't the first time she has had to address Nicki's shadiness towards her offline, and feels the 'Did It On 'Em' rapper is putting her last name 'Petty' to good use.
From there things got even messier, with Latto taking shots at Nicki's age, and even dragged Minaj's husband and brother into the conversation.
?? it was an actual person ON tiktok. A creator. Not even an artist. I’m sure the Barbz have receipts. It goes to show she made up these “subtweets” in her head simply b/c she sent me 2 songs I declined to do features on. They all do this. (See next tweet) https://t.co/8gM2oU9IIy

Age shaming when you look like YOU the one pushing 40. Age shaming but was BEGGING for a feature. Imagine what dem genes gon do in 10 years ? Oh so you in your 20’s. Oh ok then. At least it match your album sales. You sold 20K right? Mad u flopped. That’s why u rlly mad ?

Latto came with her receipts too!
And to add icing on the cake, Latto shared a phone call between she and Minaj, contradicting her original claims.
Whew, chiiiile!
