It was a surprisingly barbed volley from a singer known for her meticulously crafted public image - even Nicki Minaj seemed taken aback.

Featuring whisper-thin supermodels wielding guns, the pseudo-action movie dethroned Minaj's video for most views in one day when it was released this year. Unlike "Anaconda," Swift's video for "Bad Blood" was nominated for the top award. Maybe one of the men took your slot," she wrote. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. "I've done nothing but love & support you.
That's when Taylor Swift - who describes herself as a feminist - jumped in, apparently taking the tweets personally. She then tweeted: "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year." "Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it." "If I was a different 'kind' of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well," said Minaj. So the rapper had a reason to be upset when she was snubbed - and she made her reasoning clear. "Anaconda," an uproarious, raunchy twist on pop culture portrayals of curvy black women, received 19.6 million clicks in its first 24 hours, a music video record at the time. It started when Minaj took to her keyboard to vent after one of her biggest hits wasn't nominated for video of the year for the MTV Video Music Awards. Like on Tuesday, when singer Taylor Swift took a Twitter dig at hip-hop queen Nicki Minaj and the Internet erupted into a sprawling conversation about race and gender.Īnd then Kim Kardashian got involved. Interestingly, the previous record holder was Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda,†which had held the honour since August 2014, when it debuted with 19.6 million views in the first 24 hours since release.(CNN) - If you remember Miley twerking or Kanye's mic-snatching, you'll know music awards can get chaotic.
In May, Swift’s “Bad Blood†video broke Vevo’s 24-hour viewing record, with 20.1 million views in its first day of release. Minaj and Swift have collaborated onstage during the latter’s Speak Now tour,combining for a live rendition of Nicki’s “Super Bass.” She wrote: “If I win, please come up with me!! You’re invited to any stage I’m ever on.”īut the ‘Only’ hitmaker merely retweeted a string of messages from her fans, including one which reads: “Believe it or not, there are some things that are so much BIGGER than you, You owe an apology.” Taylor then attempted to bury the hatchet by inviting Nicki to join her on stage at the event in Los Angeles on August 30. continued, I’m still confused as to why u just tweeted me when I made it abundantly clear…” Minaj quickly responded, “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. “It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. “I’ve done nothing but love & support you,” she wrote to Minaj. Swift - a slim-bodied woman nominated for video of the year, alongside Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce - took offense at this implication. “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” Minaj posted to Twitter in the midst of a string of tweets bemoaning the snub.

On Tuesday, the 2015 VMA nominations were announced, with Swift earning a total of nine nods (five in the professional categories), including video of the year for “Bad Blood.” Minaj was also nominated for multiple awards, including best female video and best hip-hop video for “Anaconda,” but felt slighted by her lack of a video of the year nom.
Has a new celebrity feud just blown up between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift? Or is it just a huge misunderstanding?
