Nicki Minaj has spoken out against Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich, just days after Ariana Grande accused him of lying about why she chose to skip the awards ceremony.
Responding to a fan asking why Minaj had never won a Grammy, she claimed it was because of Ehrlich. She said she had been bullied by the producer for seven years. She added that she would divulge more details on her Apple Music radio show. According to Billboard , the ‘Good Form’ rapper has received 10 nominations over the years, including best rap album in 2011 and 2015.
I pissed off the same man Ariana just called out for lying. Grammy producer KEN. I was bullied into staying quiet for 7 years out of fear. But I’ll tell my fans the REAL on the next episode of #QueenRadio they deserve the truth.

Minaj also announced that she would not be performing at the BET Experience Concert in June after she took offence to one of the network’s tweets. Following Cardi B’s Grammy win , the network’s official account had tweeted, “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront.”
Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show. ♥️🙏🏽♥️ Summer Tour dates dropping soon 🦄
