never thought id ever see the day that taylor swift would be the talk of a work day.
not because of awkwardly dancing either.
it was because she was in a beef.
a “twitter beef”.
a twitter beef with nicki minaj.
two worlds and two different audiences.
well it all started when nicki went on a rant about not getting nominated for…
and not a grammy…
but the “video of the year” for the ’15 mtv awards.
you read right.
this is what she had to say…
these are the videos in question:
nicki minaj | anaconda
taylor swift feat kendrick lamar | bad blood
well it was that last tweet that got taylor’s attention.
her pr person must have went to the bathroom because she tweeted:
did she say…
“maybe one of the men took your slot”?
whoa.
well nicki followed back with:
in which taylor responded,
before un-following her:
okay who had taylor’s phone?
she ain’t never been that witty with the clap backs.
…or maybe i don’t follow her enough?
either way it caused commotion between the swifties and the barbz.
everyone one had something to say about this match up.
katy perry,
who is currently beefin’ with taylor also,
had a subliminal thought that got favorited by nicki:

hmm.
now a side of me thinks this is publicity for the award show.
the mtv awards haven’t been hot in a while.
when in doubt,
start a wild fire.
another side thinks this beef may actually be real.
katy perry jumped her ass in.
she ain’t exactly a taylor fan,
plus that “bad blood” video is about her.
i do feel like the “anaconda” video was terrible and i still haven’t seen “feelin’ myself”.
this fox ain’t a tidal member.
nicki does have the right to her opinion on not being nominated.
although she did throw a rock and hide her paws with the tweets.
you ain’t low nicki.
well who knows anymore,
but i guess we will all be staying tuned to the mtv awards to find out.
…right?
lowkey: if this is real,
does nicki really want to get into it with taylor?
she will have nicki out here looking like kanye west.
he ain’t been right since he ran up on stage for taylor.
tweets taken: nicki minaj | taylor swift
To be honest Nicki needs to sit her fake black ass down and shut the fuck up and don’t use the race card just because you mad. She want to get into her feelings and calling out on MTV and Taylor, but hey yo puta I heard the Trinis are not fond of your fake ass because you portray Trinidad in a bad light and they ain’t happy.
GET HER RAP QUEEN NICKI! GET THAT WITCH! LMAO. Bye Taylor!
No for real though I like Nicki but Beyonce got nominated 5 times and one was for VOTY. All for that one 7/11 song. So that negates Nicki’s “slim women privilege” claim aside.
Who said Taylor’s name though?
Nicki really isn’t deserving of any nominations anyway. She hasn’t made a certified hit solo ever and has no good videos.
Taylor Swift dragged her with the last line
“You’re invited to any stage I’m ever on” LMAO!
KKKKKKK OOOOOOOOOO
I’m sure there are plenty of housekeepers who find all her left behing BET awards in her hotel room each year but she whinning about a VMA? The bigger question is why does she feel this validates her? If your not nominated so what? This is more about ego then creative recognition. She doing all this bitching but I bet she’ll be there. If these black artists really feel some kinda why and feel the nominations are lopsided, then boycott. Collectively decided as the largest black artists in the world that your are going to boycott the VMAs this year. But yall wont do that tho. Lets not forget the VMAs has only been around 30 years and wouldnt even play videos by black artists for years…
Never been a fan of Nicki Minaj. Rap skills are whack, and the fake hair, tits and ass do NADA for me.
Plus her attitude is stank. Didn’t Smokey just give a long ass speech about behavior like this?!
You are NOT ENTITLED to an award. It’s given by votes from the fans or decided by the network. Get over yourself. That whack ass Anaconda song and video is nothing to be proud of. LOL
Taylor is like the corny girl that wants to fit in really badly. Her songs have put her with the “in crowd”. She’s managed to handle it (controversy) surprisingly well until the tiff with Katy Perry.
BOTH took shots at other artists through their music and interviews, etc…so BOTH are being hypocritical.
Not feeling either of them really, so they should sit back and shut it up.
This entire situation is so laughable, are they really arguing over an MTV award nomination?? MTV ?? Like really? Their program lineup is the pits and isnt musically oriented anymore ..what a joke
When has white supremacy ever cared abt how we feel as a ppl? There are blk who never go to these events nor invited to these “white events”, let alone nominated. Yes Nicki is mainstream, but she ain’t white. Her pleas for white validity screams more of insecurity. We have a whole network dedictaed to us and yet she treats it like it’s an amateur night or so, but cries when mtv dsnt acknowledge her lol. You treat BET the way you do for the same reasons MTV treats you… the hypocrisy. Bye Nicki.
The music video era is dead unfortunately. The music industry is more focused on leveraging the internet for marketing.
It was hilarious to me, I love Nicki, but she got embarrassed. She was trying to sneak diss Taylor, but Taylor stood her ground.
I think it’s pretty silly Nicki is trying to represent bigger women in Anaconda when all the video does is make girls want her shape (which is fake).
I get what Nicki was saying and she was absolutely right, and her comments had nothing to do with Taylor. The white media slams our actions, but when white people do the same they get praised. Also, if people as a whole do not accept artist’s styles, they do not get as much acceptance. It is a sad world we live in. SMH. I will not be watching the awards anyway, I’m good.
^am i the only one bored with award shows in general?
i feel i only watch for half assed performances….
or to see b and rih.
No, you’re not. I stopped watching award shows awhile ago for these reasons.
Artistry shouldn’t be defined by winning a petty little trinket (though it is nice to be recognized for your work) -but that isn’t that case. It’s more akin to a high school popularity contest rather than a celebration and recognition of true art.
If that were the case, Nicki or Taylor would never win an award much less a nomination for something that represents something meaningful.
Nicki can talk all she wants, and she’s a good rapper, but it takes more than that to be a true artist. They’re trivial and a snore.
No, I only decided to watch the BET awards because of Janet lol. It was a good show tho.
This whole ordeal is demagogy personified.
Nicki didn’t get her way so she had to played the race card, even taking a jab a Taylor. She basically insinuated that Taylor’s white privilege got her the VOTY nominated even though other black artists were nominated. Taylor Swift boldly clapped back by @ her and went the feminist route even though (supposedly) Bad Blood was attacking Katy Perry. Nicki tried to backtrack and said that it wasn’t about her.
The media being such demagogues, they ranted about how Nicki was looking out for black women and Taylor embarrassing herself be getting into something uninvited.
They both were stupid, but Nicki has no one to blame but herself for this mess.
^yeah i don’t get the “pitting women against each other” when “bad blood” was…
well…
^Agree 100%
Speaking the truth, preach!
