Wrecking Ball was objectively a better song unarguably more impactful and successful and the video was "artistic" nude instead of raunchy nude.
however if 7/11 can get a nom then yeah Anaconda deserves one since it was bigger and better in all was except maybe the song itself if this was just about the video Anaconda was better but we all know its not
i think the raunch of the lyrics and the crass depictions in the video hurt its chances (Toxic and Wrecking ball only did this once)
7/11 most likely took its spot

They are supposed to base decisions on videos and not the lyrics, no?
Wrecking Ball wasn't a great video, it didn't deserve to win but it did. Anaconda in my opinion is a better video than WB.
7/11 getting a nom doesn't surprise me, it's a better video than most nominees in the category.
But what you're basically doing is pointing out noms for black artists in an effort to prove that there's no form of favourism which is basically wrong.
There is favourism and subtle discrimination.
