Whenever two very outspoken artists’ opinions collide, it typically makes for a helluva display. As it pertains to “Can We Talk” crooner, Tevin Campbell, if the general consensus about what he recently re-shared from Nicki Minaj is correct, then get ya’ popcorn ready.
If you caught our prior report about the 2019 BET Awards, then you also caught that Mary J. Blige’s tribute performances to herself was a BEAST, but other than that, the other musical acts were mostly a snooze fest. That’s not because BET was necessarily slippin’ (the show itself was produced at the same high quality it always has been), but because the caliber of new aged artists they have to choose from are…well, talent-less, just sayin.’ Also, as a result, this year’s award show was reportedly the lowest ratings in BET’s history.
Nicki Minaj’s Rant About BET…
The aforementioned facts didn’t go unnoticed by many viewers who watched the show, including Nicki Minaj, who seems to think her exclusion from the 2019 BET Awards is partly why the ratings plummeted…but that is highly debatable. At any rate, check out the rant Minaj posted about the show, which sent Twitter into a tizzy and sparked Tevin Campbell’s reaction:
“When u go out of ur way to b spiteful & hurt artists who have always supported ur show… when you fire great ppl who have put their heart & soul into the show… when you’d rather be a messy reality show than a prestigious award show… when ur still being dragged by that lace.”

Is Tevin Backing Her On This?
Tevin Campbell typically speaks his mind, but when it came to a corporation like BET, he chose to remain silent…sorta. In a seemingly silent show of support for Nicki’s rage against BET, Tevin appears to be backing her BET diss on the low. He retweeted the raptress’ Twitter rant against the network that helped support her career in the beginning:
Not sure if Tevin Campbell is ready to speak his mind about the downfall of today’s music, nor the support that corporate giants, like Viacom owned BET Network, supports. For now though, he seems to have made his stance clear. Are y’all ridin’ with him on this, or nah?
