“Super Freaky Girl” samples the 1981 Rick James hit “Super Freak.” In 1991, MC Hammer won Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammys for “U Can’t Touch This,” which also samples “Super Freak.”

Minaj said it’s also unfair because Latto’s “Big Energy,” which samples another 1981 song, Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” is included in rap categories.
