When the 2015 Video Music Award nominations were announced this morning, Nicki Minaj did alright, picking up nominations for Best Hip Hop Video and Best Female Video for “Anaconda,” along with a collaboration nod for “Bang Bang.” But the Pinkprint artist was miffed that she wasn’t nominated for Video of the Year, and may have unintentionally(?) started a dispute with Taylor Swift.

Minaj fired off a series of tweets (and numerous retweets from fans rallying to her defense) implying that she didn’t get the nod because she wasn’t the right “kind” of artist. “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” Minaj tweeted, along with a bunch of shady smile emojis. Swift, who gave Minaj the Swift Seal of Approval, was hurt by the perceived slight.

“I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other [sic],” Swift tweeted in response. “Maybe one of the men took your slot..”

“U must not be reading my tweets,” Minaj replied. “Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.”

Welp @ Nicki fuming on Twitter over a VMA nomination

I can see why Taylor thought Nicki was talking about her (especially with the "record breaking video") but she shouldn't have gotten involved either way. It's a mess all round.

[Shaun]

in all honesty Nicki doesn't deserve any nominations to do with the Pinkprint. Trash album.

[Moosething]

[Brother Leon]

Anaconda is trash as is her whole Album. She should be happy enough she wins every damn Hip Hop category somehow.

This whole thing sounds staged to make these two seem more interesting.

But going by what's been said, Nicki basically sounds jealous that more attractive women are getting a nod for their songs, even if they're better songs.

She's annoyed white girls keep getting nominated over black artists

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

That annoying Taylor swift butted in when Nicky wasn't even addressing her. I hope her munchkin face loses. Taylor wants to take ****s at Nicky but her and her annoying friends are the first to upload videos of themselves rapping and they're the first mimicking raps at awards.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Now instead of hearing out what she was trying to say they're going to conveniently ignore what she was saying and vilify her in this.

She should rap about it like j Cole. Why not

[Dominic]

Taylor

[armand.kay]

I don't understand why Taylor felt the wed to say anything.

[armand.kay]

However dispited beings huge fan of nicki her video's are not her strongest point and anaconda is the first in a long time that's not a Pile of **** so she really shouldn't be expecting awards. It's not like she had no nominations at all.

[armand.kay]

Also she really needs to not make this a race issue because it's not.

Why not when plenty of mediocre artists get nominated in this day and age. We really do have to be twice as good to get half init

[Liam-]

Lmao @ Nicki thinking she didn't get nominated because she's not stick thin or because she's not white, no, you're just **** love, hating on everyone else who does get nominated isn't a good look, up your game and maybe things will change.
