Azealia Banks is known for speaking her mind.
And the Broke With Expensive Taste star did exactly that in a 6 piece Twitter rant Monday about the BET Awards.
Banks, who is up for “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist” this year, took to the social media site to share her thoughts about not just the ceremony, but a fellow rapper who she’s up against for the award:
I really hate getting nominated for @bet awards. They’re so bogus.

The female rap award at the bet awards goes to nicki every year, it’s not even a real award anymore lol it’s a bit of a running joke. — AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) May 18, 2015
They should just nominate nicki five times with five different wigs on and pick the best picture lol

3,2,1 all the urban media sites gonna run a headline saying I’m throwing shots. Black media is so stupid and pointless. What a shitty cycle.

While Azealia may believe that the BET Awards could be a lot better (an idea that I’ve heard quite a few times), and that more diverse winners in the “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist” category is needed (also a valid point), it’s kind of in poor taste to diss a show where you’ve been nominated. Just sayin.’
But hey, let us know what you think. Does Azealia Banks have a point? Is the BET Awards a running joke? Sound off in the comments.
