The issue of race isn't because she's not nominated, it's because of how she's being painted for speaking up. But of course they'll say she's pulling the race card and an angry black woman, you're just making her point more valid.
This Monkey Juice is truth. I also don't know why I've received four private messages
from four different members calling me a self-hating racist for agreeing with Taylor Swift.
This all reminds me of that time when the blacks on ATRL refused to call Bill Cosby a rapist and defended him, just because he was black, meanwhile ignoring the 23 women who came forward. 24 more women later, and a court confession from Cosby himself, and now everyone's eating crow. It's okay to use common sense. Message to the blacks: just because Nicki Minaj is black, doesn't mean she's isn't being a transparent, disingenuous, slim-shaming opportunist with her recent tweets.
You can admit that and she deserves to be called out on it, which Taylor Swift rightfully did.

She's the one who created this mess in the first place. Like. If she hadn't posted and continued digging her own grave it wouldn't be a big deal.
Can someone PLEASE tell me where Miley Cyrus and Wrecking Ball fit into this? Why is Nicki fuming about a two-year-old video and why was her rant conveniently timed right after this year's noms were revealed?
This (pulling the race card when things get hard) and the collaboration with Robin Thicke (aka rape apologist) disapointed me. It would feel hypocitical if she ever calls herself a "body positive feminist" again. I'm unstanning. I had her back for most of the time, not now and not anymore.
Can people tell me why Nicki is speaking up about systematic racism today of all days?
You can defend her all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that she's selfishly using black people's legitimate struggles here to whine and complain about a measly VMA nomination. Poor Nic, only speaking for the black people when it affects her and only her.

If Nicki wanted to address that issue independently I applaud her.
But, she only pointed that out after Taylor called her out. And she tried to somehow use it to justify her status as a sore loser? It shouldn't sit right with anyone.
And as other people have pointed out, she isn't very vocal about black issues unless it benefits her musical career in someway...

Not to mention her east-Asian appropriation, Nazi/dictator glorification, body-shaming, trivialization of suicide and OKing the use of homophobic slurs/rants by featuring artists on her songs.
But hey, Taylor Swift included twerking black women in her video once so she's the PrOBLeMaTiC one.

It's not about the award or the nomination. GOD. You guys are so dense and on the surface, much like Taylor on this instance. But, most of you are white, entitled twinks so I shouldn't expect more from you. Nicki is mad at the fact that even whenever a black woman speaks up, she's told to sit down, and shut up. Whether you feel like Nicki or Taylor deserves whatever award doesn't matter at this point. The true tea is that Taylor did something that was so unapologetically white girl/ femininist. She made something isn't about her personally when it had nothing to do with her. Nicki is attacking a system of racism, not Taylor.

November 2014.
She's been talking about it, y'all just weren't listening and didn't care.
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

Miley is just an excuse, I would love Miley to reply just to see what new excuse they make up.

If it's not about the nomination, why did she decide to go on a rant after the nominations were announced?
