Nicki Minaj knows she'll get a Grammy one day so everyone just calm down

  • February 1, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

nicki-minaj-pink-friday-roman-reloadedLook, Nicki Minaj really isn't bothered about the fact she didn't get nominated for any Grammys this year. Seriously. It's fine.

"I've gotten tons of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy," she told Associated Press (as quoted here). "I've gotten tons of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy."

Mind you, she has a theory about why she didn't get nominated but she'd rather keep that to herself to be honest.

"I think that the Grammys had a different reason [for not nom­in­at­ing me] that I do not want to discuss," she 'explained'. "And that's just between me and them."

Also, as much as it would be nice to get recog­ni­tion from her peers, she's pretty content to just carry on doing sold-out world tours at the moment.

"I under­stand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there," she continued.

"There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on."

It's not a Grammy though is it.
