The Barbie Dreams rapper revealed during a recent Stationhead live stream why she turned down an invitation to join the Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammy Awards. While she described the gesture as “kind,” Nicki made it clear her decision came down to one thing: integrity.
“I thought it was kind of them to try. But why would I be sitting on the board if I don’t have a Grammy? That made absolutely no sense,” she told fans, noting the invite came shortly after the release of her chart-topping album Pink Friday 2.
The comments quickly reignited debates about the Academy’s long history of controversial snubs—including Nicki’s own—and why she’s repeatedly declined to join their ranks.
💥 Nicki Blasts Jay-Z & Megan Thee Stallion
As if that wasn’t enough tea for one week, Nicki took to social media to air her grievances with Jay-Z, Megan Thee Stallion, and Roc Nation’s CEO Desiree Perez.
In a string of explosive posts, Nicki accused Jay-Z of owing her $200 million, slammed Megan’s ongoing legal drama, and claimed Perez is part of a larger “industry problem.”
“The audacity to act like I’m not the blueprint,” she wrote in one tweet.
Fans also noticed Nicki seemingly taking a swipe at Cardi B, after Cardi’s recent single “Outside” underperformed on the charts. The drama instantly sent Barbz and Hotties into overdrive, sparking another round of fan wars online.
🎥 Adin Ross Offers Nicki Equity to Join Kick
Amid the digital firestorm, Nicki teased her next move by asking fans whether she should take her livestreams to Twitch or Kick. Enter Adin Ross, one of Kick’s biggest stars, who jumped into the conversation with a bold offer.
Ross, who’s known for his ties to Drake and the gambling platform Stake, suggested Twitch’s strict rules could stifle Nicki’s ability to speak freely—especially on hot-button topics like Jay-Z and Megan.
Kick, however, promises uncensored content, and Ross sweetened the deal by offering Nicki equity in the platform to make it her new digital home.
“Nicki would dominate streaming culture overnight,” Ross told fans. “We’re ready to give her whatever she needs.”
