Azealia Banks Disses Nicki Minaj, Calls BET Awards ‘Bogus' After Being Nominated For Best Female Hip Hop Artist

Beware BET - Azealia Banks is ranting again and this time it involves the BET awards and rival Nicki Minaj.

After being nominated in the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist category alongside Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Dej Loaf, Tink, and Trina, the 23-year-old rapper is slamming the iconic award show on Twitter for misspelling her name several times and playing favoritism towards Nicki Minaj

"‪@bet has thrown me such much shade over the years. Keep misspelling my name..." she wrote. "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," Banks continued. "It's a bit of a running joke. They should just nominate nicki five times with five different wigs on and pick the best picture lol."

Minaj and Chris Brown will lead the 2015 BET Awards with six nominations. They are followed by Beyoncé and Lil Wayne with four nominations each.

Minaj has taken home the award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist honor in the last five years. She has also been nominated for Video of the Year, Coca-Cola Viewers' Choice Award, and Best Group for her ties with Young Money.

Banks also targeted Minaj's fans in her Twitter rant, writing, "*hears barbz buzzing in the distance* *rolls up car windows* *sound of little barb heads slamming into glass* *unconscious barbs on floor* *turns up random nicki Minaj verse* *puts car in reverse* *backs up over barbs* *blood splatters* *puts car in drive and takes off*

After Banks' comments about BET and the Minja made headlines, the rapper went back on Twitter to shame media site for claiming she was dissing the "Only You" rapper.
