I keep reading everywhere she dissed Iggy Azalea. Does this mean Iggy doesn't write her own raps? lol

She robbed Iggy of that award. Iggy had 1 song this year, hardly making her qualified for any Female Artist of the Year award. Nicki CONTINUES to make a staple even without any new music out. BOW.

That acceptance speech really rubbed me the wrong way. It was so damn tacky. She was a sore sport about WINNING the award. The past few years when there has been NO female rap competition, and BET was just GIVING her the award, she's given speeches talking about embracing the sisterhood and shit. The moment she has some competition, she gets shady.
And that "I write my own rhymes" shit is so played. Who gives a fuck? Especially when you are writing stupid ass shit like "Pills and Potions." It doesn't make you more of an "artist" because you write your own yabba-dabba-doo punchline rhymes.
And then that whole spill about "authenticity" when she branded herself on being a BARBIE. Uhhh...

Yeah Nicki came off poorly to me. I have never seen someone act so bitter and "poor sport" about winning an award before. It is also amusing to me that she is leveling the same exact critiques toward Iggy that Nicki herself struggled with for years. Still excited about her album of course. She can be bitter all she wants as long as she releases a good album!

basically the saying what you accuse of others you see in yourself stands true. She said this about Mariah last year but it applied to her.
"""What u SHOULD be doing (wit your messy ass) is asking why a woman SO successful at her age, is still so INSECURE, and bitter."
I also wouldn't put it past her to be starting a beef to help sell records since the initial hype is slowly dying down. Lets be honest her star power isnt as strong right now so early on in her career, that is a bit worrisome I imagine. She plugged her upcoming album right before launching into that shade towards Iggy.

Apparently, Iggy critiqued Nicki when she first performed on the BET Hip Hop Awards (remember, they said she lip synced every performance that night), by saying Nicki was lying about actually rapping live.
From Necole Bitchie :
Now, a little history on Nicki Minaj and Iggy. Although Nicki recently congratulated Iggy for having the top singles in the country while saying, “I’m no hater” on The Breakfast Club, the two did exchange subliminals towards each other a few years ago. Back in 2010, after Nicki performed at the BET Awards, she was slammed on Twitter for lip syncing, and Iggy even added in her two cents:
LMAO at Nikki saying she did the BET Awards live. Errrr. If you say so girl
Nicki responded:
Laughing at sh*t u can’t even do…study dat formula…cornball….LMFAO
Those tweets between the two resurfaced last year after someone dug up the old tweets of rappers, which caused Nicki fans to bombard Iggy with hateful messages. Iggy posted in response:
Listen. I see a trend on Twitter in the past week that involves ppl retweeting artists old tweets. I’m talking old, done and dusted ass ones. And although I know most artists are gonna go the silent route and ignore that it’s happening, I’m going to talk to you even though I know the people who get hype off of the whole thing are immature anyway, but hear it goes. Yes I have an opinion, and no, even though I am a fan of someone, doesn’t mean that I like EVERYTHING THAT THEY DO. There was once a time when I could crack jokes, talk about tv shows or whose record I hate or loved etc. on Twitter. I can’t do that now, in part because you guys would make life a nightmare, and in part because it would be unprofessional. But remember, it was a time when my Twitter was just for my friends and family to see, just like yours probably is now. Anyhow I really feel like what you guys are doing is unfair. Right now in 2013.

Iggy has a good point in that last paragraph and I agree, and I also see why Nicki would respond towards a dig against her. I just don't agree with the unnecessary stuff these professionals do on twitter, but hey Iggy is right we all take digs at tv, music, movie stars all the fucking time. Once you in the industry then it becomes tacky and uncalled for.

Nicki is a straight up bitch, plain and simple. No nastiness from her mouth or body language ever has or ever will surprise me. She has a major chip on her shoulder, which has grown even larger since Iggy has come into the forefront. Homegirl needs to accept that it's someone else's time.

I can't say that I liked her acceptance speech, she needs to just STOP. That being said, I have to throw a lot of blame at the media and the fans for this. When did she EVER mention Iggy's name? Who the hell says she's even talking about Iggy? People want it to be about Iggy, so they can create drama and make it a feud. The exchanges between these two have been minimal at the very best, I'd say outside of conjecture and BS media/fan reports, it's absolutely NOTHING. Like two female rappers can't exist at the same time, LAWD.

Nicki made herself look like a bitter jealous -itch. Even my mother who could careless about Nicki or Iggy thought she made a fool of herself and asked what was that all about. After her rant she looked at me and said I guess we know who was in the wrong with the whole Mariah Carey fight". Nicki didn't do herself many favors the other night. Lol.

She's doing the same thing Lil Kim did to her its hillarious cause she was so butt hurtover being the victim but now another female rapper is becoming successful she is feeling it!!! If BET needs to check anyone's authenticity it should be her.

Kim was pissed at Nicki because she swaggerjacked all of her late 90s/early 2000s looks and would flipflop between dissing her in songs/freestyles and still listing her as a major influence in interviews. Nicki was basically echoing the voice of the bulk of the hip hop community in saying that Iggy's schtick seems put on and insincere without doing anything to move the culture of hip hop forward. To bring up Nicki's own surgeries is immaterial to what she was talking about. So...that's not the same thing at all and Nicki's blatant disrespect of Kim/Mariah has nothing to do with this.
ETA: And as far as Nicki being bitter/insecure, I didn't feel that at all. To me, her attitude was (if anything) kind of cocky and bossed up like "Yeah I know BET gave me this award for the 5th year in a row because what other female rapper is actually doing shit while still being a genuinely GOOD rapper?" Like I can't imagine how it must feel for Nicki, who at her best is without a doubt one of the strongest MCs male or female in the game today, to be compared to (and even criticized against) Iggy who is simply...not. Her speech didn't come off at all to me like she was worried about Iggy Azalea. It came off to me like she was thinking "I know that's right...Onika Tanya Maraj is still running shit around here and don't any of you fancy bitches forget about it."

Iggy's response to all of this confusion/mess: "I have to say the general explosion of perriness online in the last few days is hard to ignore & honestly..lame.
If I had won the BET Award that would've been great but it wasn't my year & I don't mind- so you shouldn't either.
Generally speaking i'm unbothered by anything that "Happened" at the BET Awards and just feel worn out by everyone trying to make me have wars with people all the time...."
