The 'Va Va Voom' rapper says she is not bothered about failing to gain a nomination for this year's event.

Nicki Minaj has hinted that she believes the Grammy Awards had a "different reason" for leaving her out of the 2013 nominations.

The 'Pound The Alarm' rapper failed to garner a single nod for this year's Grammys despite a year filled with chart hits, but has refused to elaborate on her comments 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," Nicki revealed to the Associated Press this week.

"I think that the Grammys had a different reason, that I do not want to discuss and that's just between me and them," Nicki teased. "But I respect their organisation and I'll get a Grammy eventually.

"I'm not worried about it," she added.
