Nicki Minaj didn't get nominated for a Grammy and she's broken her silence regarding the issue. While her manager Cortez Bryant made it known that he was offended that she wasn't nominated for anything at this year's Grammy Awards, the Young Money starlet says that she isn't concerned at all about the "snub."

"I've gotten tons of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy," she said, laughing. "I understand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there," she said. "There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on."

"You do feel good when you get awards and accolades. Maybe if I had been doing this for 10 years and I thought like, 'Oh my god, I've put out 10 albums' -- maybe it would have hurt my feelings. But I still feel so new that it's like, 'Charge it to the game,'" she said. "It's part of the game."
