Nicki Minaj Vs Taylor Swift Beef On Twitter sets the Trend

MTV announced the VMA nominations Tuesday morning, and one Nicki Minaj was not feeling them. While her "Anaconda" got nods for Best Female Video and Best Hip-Hop Video, she felt the work deserved a spot in the top category, Video of the Year, as well as Choreography and others. Her other video, "Feeling Myself," was shut out completely.
Minaj whipped up a Twitter storm, pointing out how the music video for "Anaconda" was basically all anyone could talk about last fall, and saying that if she were a different "kind" of artist, it would have gotten more nominations. What began as an exchange between Minaj and Swift rapidly expanded to include Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian, and of course, Katy Perry.
