She also tweeted about the competition in the category, including Beyoncé’s “7/11”, Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud”, Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar’s “Bad Blood“, Mark Ronson ft.
Still, the 30-year-old rapper did receive nods for Best Female Video and Best Hip Hop Video for “Anaconda“, and Best Collaboration for “Bang Bang” with Ariana Grande and Jessie J. First, she graciously thanked MTV for acknowledging her. Then she asked, “Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or…?” Even MTV did a post on the choreo. “Feeling Myself & Anaconda”.
Many fans believe that when Nicki references “different” artists and “other girls” she’s implying that she’s a victim of racial discrimination.
In addition, the Queens representative suggested when other “girls” break records with their videos they get nominations.
Minaj added, “U couldn’t go on social media w/o (without) seeing ppl (people) doing the Anaconda cover art, choreo (choreography), outfits for Halloween…an impact like that & no VOTY nomination?”
Additionally, Ms. Minaj said the “Anaconda” video was ridiculously huge and made its way into popular culture. I love u just as much.
