Nicki Minaj Had Some Shit To Say On Twitter About The MTV VMAs And Taylor Swift Piped In, Of Course
Someone has to take the nominations for the MTV VMAs seriously and I guess Nicki Minaj is that someone. The MTV VMA nominations were announced today and even though “Anaconda” got two nominations, Nicki is pissed that it didn’t get a nomination for Video of the Year. She’s also wondering why “Feeling Myself“ got a total of zero nominations. Nicki had a lot of thoughts about her getting snubbed by MTV. It’s just the VMAs! This is like an actor complaining about not getting a People’s Choice Award nomination. (Anne Hathaway would totally do that.)
Nicki believes that “Anaconda” was snubbed in the Video of the Year category, because she thinks that you couldn’t open your eyes without seeing her Jell-O jiggle ass in that video. Nicki thinks it’s a cultural phenomenon and deserves a VOTY nomination more than some of the other videos nominated. Nicki is sick of black women giving so much to pop culture and not getting the awards they deserve. Nicki said that if “Anaconda” was filled with skinny bodies, then it probably would’ve gotten a nomination. And that was Taylor Swift’s cue to pop in, because she felt like Nicki was talking about the supermodel flip book known as the “Bad Blood” video, which was nominated for Video of the Year. Tay Tay truly has a gift for making everything about her. The tweets are after the jump and a little warning, there’s also an appearance by Kim Kartrashian:
Hey guys @MTV thank you for my nominations. 😘😘😘 Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or…?

If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well. 😊😊😊

U couldn't go on social media w/o seeing ppl doing the cover art, choreo, outfits for Halloween…an impact like that & no VOTY nomination?

When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

@NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 21, 2015
Tay Tay does have a point. Nicki needs to stop pitting women against each other, because Tay Tay already owns that game (see: Bad Blood). Get yourself another gimmick, Nicki. That one belongs to Taylor. Nicki went on:
Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13
— NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015
I'm so glad u guys get to see how this stuff works. Taylor took her music off spotify and was applauded. We launched Tidal & were dragged.

I'm not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it. https://t.co/2xOvJzBXJX

@NICKIMINAJ If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on.

The last tweet is just….
We all know how this is going to end. Nicki and Taylor’s “feud” will be milked for weeks and it will lead to them opening the VMAs with a mash-up of “Anaconda” and “Bad Blood” called “Anaconda Blood.” You can accuse MTV of all sorts of shit (see: not showing music videos anymore, unleashing <.b>Backdoor Farrah on the world, canceling “Just Say Julie,” etc…), but you can’t accuse them of knowing how to put together a real STUNT QUEEN stunt.
Also, in the middle of all of that Kim Kartrashian screamed, “But wait, I want attention too,” by tweeting (and later deleting) this:
