Azealia Banks is never one to hide her feelings, and it's safe to say she's really not feeling her BET Award nomination for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist.

Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Trina, Tink and Dej Loaf are up for the honor along with Banks, who took to Twitter on Monday to express her thoughts on the "bogus" award show:

Minaj certainly has been a favorite at the BET Awards and has taken home the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist for the last five consecutive years. She has yet to respond to Banks' comments, but she's likely basking in the afterglow of dropping the video for "Feeling Myself" with Beyonce.

Besides, Banks claims her comments weren't supposed to be taken as jabs at Minaj anyway:
