Minaj called out MTV for neglecting her videos, suggesting that if she had been a “different kind” of artist, this wouldn’t have been the case.
The controversy started after Nicki reacted to her video for “Anaconda” being snubbed for Video of the Year in the most recent round of MTV VMA nominations.
I just thought that caption was ideal for that pic! “She should keep in mind / She should keep in mind /There is nothing I do better than revenge”.
Taylor Swift has apologised to Nicki Minaj. “Thank you”, Minaj wrote, while including three heart emojis at the end of her reply.
Swift, who is leading nominations for the awards, responded: “I’ve done nothing but love and support you”.
“Wait wait I’m in Paris it’s the middle of the night & I’m posting my Vogue Spain pics not having a clue what’s going on in the music world”, she wrote.
It rift was also picked up by Katy Perry and former CNN host Piers Morgan, both of whom shared their own opinions on the topic.

An unexpected battle between Minaj and Swift took off late Tuesday, July 21, when the “Anaconda” rapper called out the MTV Video Music Awards for not showing more love to black artists.

“I’m not always confident”.
Perry’s tweet to her almost 73 million followers marked a rare moment that the long-rumored tension between two of the era’s top pop singers has come into the open.
