By removing the best female rap category, the Grammys definitely made sure Nicki wouldn't win

Thx to a former category called Best female rap performance, Missy Elliot with 4 wins in this very short lived category, just 4 years, is the female rapper with the most Grammy wins. 

 

Many of hip hop bloggers definitely discontinuing this category and putting both male and females was asking for trouble, cos ever since the discontinuation. Nicki has lost to every male that won whether performance, or album 

 

And if she was nominated for best rap/Sung category, whoever had Rihanna or Beyoncé was a sure fire to win. 

 

Even with 5 wins in the best rap/Sung category. Rihanna won more rap grammies than Nicki. 

 

And the fact that Cardi B won best rap Album, was probably the final straw. Rumors are Nicki basically stopped submitting music, realizing she's never going to win or be seen as one of the greatest ever, it's revealed it's all due for refusing to cancel her religious themed performance the weekend that Whitney died caused the blacklist.

Nicki’s the best female rapper dead or alive without that Scammy tho.

the grammys removed that category in 2004... 6 years before Nicki came out so it has nothing to do with her

[Groundbreaking]

Many other actually talented artists do not submit music or do not even participate anymore. I believe the scammy's are more about popularity than actual artistry, yet time to time actual artist wins.  As for Nicki, she don't need that as a validation. She's the alfa of female rap and that's on punctuation.
