Nicki became the black equivalent of Iggy Azalea today.

Painting her as an angry black woman and the industry propelling white artists instead of black artists is absolutely something that happens. But Nicki is still WRONG for shading Taylor. Anyone who doesnt see this as an indirect insult towards Taylor is being delusional. What other skinny girlS who was nominated could she possibly be talking about? Miley from 2 years ago?
Taylor isn't doing some privileged white feminist response. She's just defending herself

Yes, Miley from last year. Really don't get why that is such a hard concept to grasp.

Nicki backtracking, what a coward

She was clearly talking about Bad Blood, no other vid of the year nominee has "women with very slim bodies."

The biggest kii is not that she was mad she wasn't nominated but that she thinks she should WIN vid of the year. It's just too much if

Anaconda won vid of the year they might as well start nominating Brazzers videos next year, at least most of those videos have more of a plot

They might as well… WB won VOTY......

She's been talking about it, y'all just weren't listening and didn't care.

NOT on social media where everyone can see it and read about it. You can't compare an individual interview with a platform as big as twitter.

What feud? Nicki made truthful statements and Taylor hopped in trying to make it about herself AS PER USUAL. A hit dog will holler. She only supports things when they're beneficial to her [financially]. and yeah, Nicki is right about the TIDAL thing too. Taylor wrote and essay and "changed the game" but the essay basically described TIDAL and yet the company was dragged through the mud. She's so fake. I officially DESPISE her.

Nnnn is this the damn reason I couldn't load a f**** page all afternoon. Everyone flocking to this mess, but what kinda timing. Things bout to get interesting this VMA. Here for the shady speech if one of them wins. Lets be real though its gonna be Taylor if anyone.

She was clearly talking about Taylor/Bad Blood. Don't even try denying it. It's the only VOTY nominee "celebrating women with very slim bodies".

But Taylor said we suppose to stand together as women. But she made Bad Blood. Taylor is the victim!!!!!

She's tweeted about racism and the white media a plethora of times.

Bad Blood isn't a body focused video at all That's obviously not what she was talking about.

Miley's video is the exact as Nicki. But she's a different "type" of girl and got praised while Nicki didn't. That is the double standard Nicki is talking about. My god, how many times do people have to repeat this?

[Justinintime]

Still looking for where she shaded Taylor or bad blood. If anyone she feel somewhat offended, it should be Miley.

The first tweet by Nicki CLEARLY targeted her, there was no other video in that category that the tweet applied to.

Taylor spoke up and Nicki got defensive and changed the whole reason why she tweeted and made it about a bigger issue. Nicki is just trying to be a martyr after getting caught. She's making correct statements, but she's very insincere about it. I'll bet you my life that if Anaconda did get nominated she wouldn't say a damn thing about systematic racism. It only matters when her precious MV didn't get nominated for some lame ass awards show.

And that's a fact.

And it could also be interpreted/is shade towards Taylors video which has a bunch of women with slim bodies and is nominated for this years VOTY when Nicki is not. Why is THAT a hard concept to grasp? Ya'll acting like we're pulling this out of our ass for thinking she's shading a nominee from this year instead of 2 years before

[KORDEI]

What Nicki said seemed like a general or hypothetical statement to me. So idg the "indirect shade" comments.

The irony of pitting women against each other when Bad Blood is nominated
Nicki thinking Anaconda is worthy of any kind of nominations
Not Nicki implying Anaconda celebrated thick girls when all it really celebrated was hypersexualization of women

Why "hypersexualization of women" and not the celebration of "thick girls" taking charge of their sexuality and rivaling society's beauty standards? Even if it didn't win, it deserved the nomination. It was huge.

She was as hated as Iggy then. Her tour bus was even burned somewhere in Louisiana by religious freaks. Like

How SOON people forget when pushing their own agenda

THe fact that I MIGHT CHANGE MY Sig for this

The fact that Taylor called Nicki out.

Nicki wasn't slick with the shade, and Taylor wasn't having it.

Assuming this was the real reason, maybe just maybe Nicki's competition was stronger, not every video with the same subject is going to be nominated so she's still wrong.

[Mariah4life]

Nicki was wrong the way she brought the issue up.
Lol @ people thinking it wasn't directed towards Taylor.

Then tweet MTV saying:
"You are racist"
(even though Kendrick and Bey are nominated for VOTY but well..)

But don't start saying stuff about slim girls in videos... because then you're just pointing out a very specific case and playing the race card seems too forced.
