HER anaconda got none.
Nicki Minaj has called out MTV for snubbing her videos for Anaconda and Feeling Myself from the Video of the Year category at the VMAs.
She took aim at the TV channel for honouring “other girls” who have “very slim bodies” in their music videos, in a veiled reference to Taylor Swift’s Bad Bloodvideo which features models including Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid.
Swift, who was nominated for nine VMAs including Video of the Year, took Minaj’s tweet personally.
If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

@NICKIMINAJ 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..

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

Minaj, 32, made headlines with the provocative video for her song Anaconda, which featured a lot of booty, hardly any clothes and Minaj grinding on rapper Drake’s lap.
But unlike Swift’s Bad Blood, Minaj’s clip was only nominated for Best Female Video - not Video of the Year.

QueenBey hit me about Anaconda after the IG snippet was released saying how much she loved it. She was also VERY hands on w/FeelingMyself 😊

I'm not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it. https://t.co/2xOvJzBXJX
