Although many of Nicki Minaj’s fans sided with their “queen,” others thought that the show was actually pretty good.
“But it was one of the best shows in a long time,” one Instagram user wrote, while another reflected the same sentiment, “That was one of the best award shows they have in the past few years but yeah make it about you. Not about HER’s amazing performance. Tyler Perry’s great speech, the Exonerated Five, Mary J Blige KILLING it at 48. No about your bitter a**.”
“She bitter cause Cardi winning. Stfu b**ch. BET kissed your a** for nearly a decade,” another fan of the award show wrote.
