July 21, 2015 Nicki Minaj goes off on twitter calling out Taylor Swift.  Nicki Minaj argues that her video Anaconda did not get enough credit it deserved because she had girls with “thick” bodies exposing their nice curves dancing on her music video.  Nicki tweeted” If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year. Although the music had millions and millions of views and was nominated for best female and best hip hop video of the year, Nicki said her video deserved to be nominated for the Music of the Year award, just like Taylor’s music video Bad Blood was. On her video Taylor Swift along with few other “slim’’ girls like Zendaya, Selena Gomez and Becky G, imposes the girls power showing how strong they are together. Nick Minaj also tweeted” If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well.” Nicki put the MTV on blast after saying that if her and her dancers were white and slim dancers the video would receive more credit. If the nominations were unfair or not, the public divides opinions.  Some think Nicki’s video deserved not just to be nominated for the Music of the Year but it also should’ve won.  However on the other side, even people that were Nicki’s fan did not agree.  They believe the music video was a little unappropriated and argued that she should not feel like it is okay to influence young girls to show off their bodies in order to show their strength.  Other people even say Nicki’s song had little or no rhythm compared to Taylor’s music video and they believe Taylor didn’t just get nominated because she was slim and white but she was talented enough to put together a great music video.
