Nicki Minaj Anaconda Video Snubbed by MTV
Nicki vented her frustration after the MTV Music Awards snubbed her very popular music video Anaconda.
Taking to twitter she blasted MTV for not including Anaconda video, which received 19.6 million clicks in its first 24 hours, in the Video Of The Year category, tweeting, ‘When the “other” girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.’
Nicki went on to say, ‘if she was a different “kind” of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and video of the year as well’.
Taylor Swift’s video Bad Blood received seven nominations, including Video Of The Year, and is also a record-breaking video like Anaconda.
For some reason Taylor felt she needed to say something so she twitted Nicki this, ‘I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..’
Of course Nicki was taken aback by this response and so was the twitter community who started a frenzy which end up on all the top news sites.
