Nicki Minaj says she has cancelled a planned upcoming appearance at the BET Concert Experience in June, where she was set to co-headline with Cardi B days before the annual BET Awards, as TMZ reports. The concert's lineup was announced a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed like a good get, especially considering Minaj and Cardi B's very public feud.

But last night during the Grammys, where Cardi B became the first solo female rapper to win Best Rap Album award, BET's social media captioned a post about the win with the sentence: "Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront." (A reference to Cardi's red carpet look.)

Minaj was not pleased, and today she took to Twitter to publicly pull out of the BET Concert Experience show. "Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show," she tweeted, seemingly indicating that Lil Wayne would no longer perform now, as well.

UPDATE 2: On Monday night, Cardi deactivated her Instagram.
