Quote of the Day: Trina Lashes Out At BET

Published: Wednesday 18th May 2011 by Sam

It appears last night’s nominees announcement for the BET Awards 2011 has left more than just select fans disgruntled. For, moments after the credits rolled on the 106 & Park announcement special, rapper Trina took to Twitter to let her feelings be known.

The ‘Diamond Princess’ was omitted from the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist category in favour of Nicki Minaj, Diamond, LoLa Monroe, and Master P’s daughter Cymphonique. This despite releasing an album last year, and two mixtapes since then.

Find out her response after the jump…

And, unlike a number of her contemporaries, the rapper has yet to delete the tweet. Only time will tell if her ‘colourful’ response will drive her displeasure home or further distance her from what is, nomination or not, a major platform for her.

No word yet from fellow overlooked femcee Lil Kim – although we’re sure it’s coming. For, the network failed to pay homage to her Pay Pal chart success.

Your thoughts?

    Poor Thing Should Just Throw In The Towel! You’re Done! Lol

  3. Kelly May 18, 2011

    But What’s da f*** up with the nominees tho, 2 of them I don’t even know, EBT should have at least, put lil l kim and trina in the category! They are to busy up WACK ASS chris Brown ass!

  4. MISHKA May 18, 2011

    I understand why she’s mad but Nicki is going to win ANYWAY. The other girls don’t really matter.

    And Lil’Kim, you done got denied gurl LOL ! All the BS for the birds for real.

  5. SmoothCriminal May 18, 2011

    i don’t mess wiht Lil kim are trina,i think it would make more sense if they were in there with the rest,i hope must don’t take this cr–p out on nicki minaj though,because i know must loves to jump on her.

  6. VLB May 18, 2011

    BET are so wrong for ignoring Trina, if Nicki didn’t win (she will) then it should have been Trina. Diamond, Lola Monroe, Chimonesha “Bye Girl Fly Girl” as Makael would say

  7. MeloRockstarr May 18, 2011

    It dont matter if she would’ve lost or not its all about recognizing hardwork & they really threw shade cause cymphonique is a singer before anything & Miss. 23 had one song. But we off that. Trina 6th album come out this year. Only female rapper who will drop 6. Cant wait. #BOW

  8. I see May 18, 2011

    Trina sucks….thats why she’s not on there….FLOP cudnt even get nominated,lol

  9. GangsterA May 18, 2011

    Lmao imma need trina to stay mad and dead @ the lil k** shade made my day

  10. TheDimplePuppet May 18, 2011

    It’s beside the f****** point EBT should have known better. Trina has been working that p**** since 98… DEADASSWRONG @EBT

  11. DaBxDon May 18, 2011

    BET!! This is why your network gets so much slack. Why isnt Trina nor Lil’Kim nominated? Like even though Nicki Minaj was the obvious choice to win this yr cause she derserved it. Lil’Kim had great success with her BlackFriday Mixtape & Trina had an album and two mixtapes..

  12. Bruno Kin May 18, 2011

    bet is on that bs..she should’ve been in there…man i been eating subs all week..LOL…i got this $100 card from Subway just 4 giving them a damn email http://goo.gl/jfnX6

  13. gio88 May 18, 2011

    Kei still don’t understand the beyonce nomination.

  14. gworl May 18, 2011

    You don’t even need to be a Tree’nah stan to know they did ole’ gworl wrong.
    That was cold.

  15. Steffon May 18, 2011

    Clearly Nicki is going to win this one! But I totally agree with Trina. They really shaded her. Who in the hell are these other ppl?

  16. PUKE FRIDAY May 18, 2011

    EBT should’ve nominated Circus Clown McButt Pads four times because it’s obvious she’s going to win. Why bother scrambling for 3 more names to round out the nominees?

  17. SOBEBOI May 18, 2011

    B**** TRINA IS RIGHT BEHOIND NICKI AS FAR AS FEMALE RAPPERS ARE CONCERNED FROM THE PAST YEAR…SHE DROPPED A HOT A** MIXTAPE…TOO BAD SHE DID NOT PROMOTE IT ENOUGH BECAUSE IT IS ACTUALLY GOOD….

  18. Spunkypoop May 18, 2011

    it should have been Nicki Minaj, Trina, Lil Kim, Diamond

  19. slick May 18, 2011

    diamonds are forever was NUUUUUTSSS…. this is shade in its purest form… i love me some diamond but over trina? and these two o ther unknowns……cymphonquisha whatever her name is should be no where on there

  20. NICK May 18, 2011

    they coudh ave put her name n there, BUT then if she lose to NICKI (which she will), then she woulda been pissed then too, so its a lose lose….I mean really tho Trina, NO OTHER female is gonna win so it dont matter….NEXT-love the paypal comment!!! hahahahaha

  21. princebarbietv May 18, 2011

    This was the ultimate shade from BET !

  22. KingBrandon May 18, 2011

    LMAO….yall better watch out…throwing shade at lil kim will get you beat down…LMAO!!!!!!

  23. Jwellz10 May 18, 2011

    BET IS DEAD WRONG FOR NOT NOMINATING TRINA….IF THO NICKI MINAJ WAS GONNA WIN THEY STILL COULD’VE PUT HER IN THE CATEGORY…EVEN IF NICKI WASN’T IN THE CATEGORY & TRINA WAS…TRINA STILL WASN’T GONNA WIN…I DON’T THINK BET LIKES TRINA BECAUSE IN 2009 TRINA SHOULD’VE GOTTEN THE AWARD BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONLY FEMALE TO RELEASE AN ALBUM IN 2008 & IT DID GOOD

  24. Jasmine May 18, 2011

    Trina should have been nominated. Her last album was great. I can listen to it all the way through and I like every track. Look at the Amazon reviews. Nicki’s album has a couple decent tracks but most of the album was garbage. It is all about being fair and BET straight up ignored her.

  25. DiDI May 18, 2011

    hello!!!! who’s Diamond? who’s Lo La? I love BET but wats their problem dis time. BET awards 2011 beta b worth watching. I aint got tym 2 waste.

  26. madamextina May 18, 2011

    XXTINA AND CEE LO DUET WILL BE RELEASE MAY 20TH THE SONG IS CALLED.NASTY HEAD TO YOUTUBE AND.CHECK IT OUT..

  27. Marc May 18, 2011

    yup..BET doesn’t select the nominees or the winners. There is a master list of potential nominees sent to a group of industry leaders who vote on who they believe should be the final nominees. Same way MOST awards shows handle the nomination process. Once the nominees are set, ballots are sent to the voting board, which is comprised of other industry leaders and fans. Now, given BET has a great relationship with Keyshia, don’t you think there would be a strong desire to have her rack up on awards? Everything isn’t a conspiracy 😉

    Who the hell are the other girls? Trina should definitely be up there. Her and Nicki and I guess Kim. Nicki would slay anyway though

  29. Andrew May 18, 2011

    Why do people keep saying EBT anyway..
    The BET awards usual suck..

  30. mobwife May 18, 2011

    Trina released a CD last year? I saw and heard a few awful cuts from her mixtape feat. on this site a few weeks ago but that’s it! Perhaps she didn’t create enough buzz around her name per CD sells and radio airplay as oppose to the other nominees! Everyone knows that Nicki will win (like her or not), Diamond, actuall have released songs and was featured on a few singles that were heard. I have never heard of either LoLa Monroe, or Master P’s daughter Cymphonique. The Master P/ Lil Romeo (DWTS) connection more than likely made this nom possible. In any event, THE FIELD HAS BEEN WIDE-OPEN ITS TRINA’S FAULT THAT SHE HAS NO TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IT!!!

    Stop B*TCHING B*TCH…lol 🙂

  31. BAD BYTCH May 18, 2011

    IM AT LEAST HAPPY FOR LOLA AND NIKKI.. LOLA HAS REALLY PUT IN WORK OVER THE PAST YEAR

  32. harlem May 18, 2011

    Its funny how yall lil f*** call everything a flop that dont touch billboard. Trina is an independent artist selling over 200k….She gets 7 dollars an album sold……FLOP not…its sad that you f*** don’t know anything about the biz but whats on itunes and billboard….smh….

  33. JER May 18, 2011

    THOSE AWARDS ARE A HOTT MESS. WHO CAN TAKE IT SERIOUSLY? I MEAN THEY NOMINATE PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE SONGS OUT AND DON’T NOMINATE PEOPLE WHO’VE HAD HIT ALBUMS.

  34. Ash May 18, 2011

    First of all, Trina is better than diamond & who is cymphonique. She just arrived

  35. theman May 18, 2011

    She should have ben nominated, she had an album out and a mixtape or two. BET is stupid.

  36. VA STAND UP!! May 18, 2011

    Lol! Everybody was laughing at her ass on twitter yesterday! It was too funny!

    I guess I can understand her frustrations a tad bit, I mean half of those heffa’s I don’t even know! I mean Cymphonique?!?!?!?! Diamond??!?!?! I am not a fan of Trina by any means, I can’t stand that damn ‘baddest b****’ s*** she has been doing since 1999, but I would expect her to get nominated over a few of these nobodies too. SMH!

    In all honestly, NONE of them besides Nicki is doing anything on the charts. We all know Nicki is gonna win! BET might as well male it to her so she doesn’t even have to go. Lol!

    LMAO at the Lil Kim shade! Paypal?! Bwhahahahahahaha!

  37. Secret Voice May 18, 2011
