Exactly, where was she WHEN THE VIDEO WON THE AWARD 2 YEARS AGO.

Why would she be talking about it 2 years after it happened like she actually gave a ****.

Nicki wasn't attacking Taylor only. she literally attacked everyone in the Bad Blood video and they are all Taylor's close friends.

If i were Taylor, i'll end Nicki''s career right this minute.
Taylor a saint tbh.

There is nothing "body-centric" about Bad Blood. There's women of all sizes in the video, and their bodies aren't the focus. And Miley won last year, not two years ago

I like Nicki but Anaconda wasn't any sort of body positivity statement, it was attention seeking trash.

Bad Blood was trash too though, don't get it twisted.

I see you VMAs but I still won't be tuning in.

Taylor

I'm disappointed.

[aleik2]

Nicki being a stunt queen is not new and I won't be suprised if she deleted her twitter. If she was a real bad Bitch she would of @ Taylor instead of that indirect ****. Nicki gets on my nerves

[OurLuckyStrike]

How could Nicki's tweet be taken generally? It was literally after the noms were announced and BB happened to fit. Like...

[KingBeyonce.]

Nicki's snub wasn't (just) because she was black so I agree with Kingsley's tweet:

@kingsleyyy: I really wish "racism" wasn't thrown into stuff like the #VMAs because when real **** happens in the world, the term becomes a joke.

BUT the thing she mentioned/rted or whatever about Tidal is a good point. But of course, most people will ignore that or pretend like it's not valid cause of everything else that's going on.

[aleik2]

And her "racism" tweets should of been tweeted during the grammys and during when the police were killing those black dudes. Tweeting about racism over an VMA? Gorl
Bai

[Giliap]

It was not directed at Taylor because it could've been any white girl. That's Nicki's point. And it's not because she feels any kind of way towards Taylor or any other white girl that could've broke the record... it's that the media glorifies these girls for the same things black girls do but they never get a fraction of equal recognition.

Though I will say Nicki got several BET Awards just a few weeks ago. Why such thirst for white VMA approval?

Hmm...great point

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.

Yeah true

Could Nicki have not been so brash? Absolutely. But, she's about 98% in the right. Taylor made something a personal attack on her when it wasn't.

Nope she took an issue that is rampant and swirled into her own statement because of a VMA nomination (lack thereof) for a video she didn't even direct...

Originally posted by Willy.

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

Amazing that she hasn't chosen to have interviews even in urban radio stations addressing the social injustice, sexism in great detail. None of that struggle is immersed/submerged in her music either.

When she doesn't get the grammy nominations and vma nominations she feels entitled to get...

it all pours out...
Taylor still swiftly gathered and I was not expecting Taylor to do it that well

Nicki became the black equivalent of Iggy Azalea today.

Nicki has always been like this. Have you forgotten 2012? Most of her stans forgot about it I guess. She was a mess and a half that's why I never understood why they shaded other girls for responding and **** on Twitter.

the relentless CHOSEN ignorance of some people in here when this threads orignal title was "Nicki DRAGS Taylor"

[Giliap]

ew at people in here acting like any critique of racism is somehow invalid or unimportant compared to another. yall dumb asses would sit in front the screen drooling over this racism if no one called it out.

[■YoungCalifornia■]

Nicki is still mad cause Iggy Azalea got that #1 Rap Record of the decade just because Iggy is white. Wow.

[taylor__fan]

The irony of Nicki calling MTV racist today, wasn't today the premiere of the documental "white people" on mtv, talking about the white privileges?
Also if they were racist, she wouldn't be nominated for anything
+ Kendrick has 2 nominations for VOTY and Beyonce is nominated too

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?

How is Wrecking Ball a better fit for Nicki's description? Nicki was talking in the plural sense? Why would Nicki even be talking about other years? Furthermore how is Wrecking Ball anything like Anaconda when Wrecking Ball at least had some class to it?

Bad Blood has a bunch of attractive women with nice bodies in it. The teaser posters were all showing the women in seductive/attractive poses.

If Nicki wasn't talking about Taylor, she certainly wasn't talking about Miley, which doesn't leave many other options

[BlueTimberwolf]

Nicki has already said it wasn't about Taylor and faved tweets explaining her rationale. So this insistence on ignoring her own words and turning it into shade is actually pretty pathetic.

[judaskills]

Nicki is honestly so thirsty for them nominations... in what way did her Anaconda music video make a huge impact? Artists and girls have been shaking their *sses for years now. And she was clearly angling at Taylor, that's why she replied duh. Beyonce has been nominated and won so many awards now, so it's clearly not a race issue.

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.

how is it Taylors fault Tidal was dragged through the mud? Tidal took care of that itself when they tried to make Madonna, Bey, and Jay Z out to be the founding fathers signing the Declaration of Independence.
