More:Calvin Harris calls his relationship with Taylor Swift “ridiculous”
Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift have been going at each other on Twitter in a feud worthy of a new version of “Bad Blood.”
It all started when Nicki took to the site to air her annoyance that her song, “Anaconda,” which broke video streaming records when it was released almost a year ago, didn’t get nods for Best Choreography or Video of the Year at this year’s VMAs, even though it did get nominated for Best Female Video and Best Hip-Hop Video.
If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well. 😊😊😊

Nicki thought the video deserved more recognition, especially after the choreography became a meme.
Ellen did her own anaconda video and did the #choreo lol. Remember her doing that kick 😩. Even mtv did a post on the choreo @MTV remember?

U couldn't go on social media w/o seeing ppl doing the cover art, choreo, outfits for Halloween…an impact like that & no VOTY nomination?
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015
Then she did it. She tweeted something that looked like a direct strike against another female artist, whose video broke the streaming records previously set by “Anaconda”: Taylor Swift.
When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

And Swift wasted no time in defending herself.

As much as Nicki claimed her comments weren’t directed at Taylor…
Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13

Nothing I said had to do with Taylor. So what jabs? White media and their tactics. So sad. That's what they want. https://t.co/AfcwoyDvpg

… she also retweeted this:

Taylor tried to make peace, inviting Nicki to join her onstage if she ends up winning Video of the Year.

But Nicki ignored the offer, instead tweeting about something else that she apparently sees as a double standard between herself and Taylor.
I'm so glad u guys get to see how this stuff works. Taylor took her music off spotify and was applauded. We launched Tidal & were dragged.
