An MTV Video Music Awards race has once again spurred tension between Taylor Swift and a hip-hop artist.<\/p>\n
This time, Swift’s heated interaction is taking place before the actual ceremony. And it involves Nicki Minaj rather than Kanye West.<\/p>\n
Upon learning that she did not receive an MTV Video Music Awards nomination for video of the year, Nicki Minaj expressed frustration.<\/p>\n
“If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” Tweeted the famously curvy “Anaconda” rapper. The comment read like a direct shot at Swift’s nominated “Bad Blood” video, which features cameos from an array of supermodels, musicians and actresses. Most are famously thin.<\/p>\n
Minaj’s comment did not sit well with Swift, who responded, “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..”<\/p>\n
Minaj quickly replied, “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.”<\/p>\n
She then addressed a fan, who wondered why so many seem to be missing Minaj’s point. “They’re not missing the point, they’re just attempting to overshadow the point. Oldest trick in the book.”<\/p>\n
Contending for Video of the Year are Swift’s “Bad Blood,” Beyonce’s “7\/11,” Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[2625,3347,4610,288,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
