When Minaj\u2019s video for the song <em>Anaconda<\/em> was not nominated for video of the year, the pop star used Twitter to express her discontent. She said that she believed that if the video celebrated women with slim bodies, it would have been nominated. She also felt like the show was inconsistent with acknowledging black women\u2019s accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10394\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10394\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/nick-minaj-side-eye-2015-billboard-650.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/nick-minaj-side-eye-2015-billboard-650.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/nick-minaj-side-eye-2015-billboard-650-600x327.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/nick-minaj-side-eye-2015-billboard-650-85x46.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/files\/media\/nick-minaj-side-eye-2015-billboard-650.jpg\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The first feud was with Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swift mistakenly thought that Minaj was targeting her with these comments and referring to her music video for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Bad Blood<\/em>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0She tweeted Minaj that she had done nothing but support her and that she should stop pitting women against each other. Minaj responded that Swift must not be reading her tweets. The two women quickly resolved the misunderstanding, but not before pop star Katy Perry weighed in. She said she found it ironic that Swift would talk about women supporting each other when it is rumored that the song <em>Bad Blood<\/em> is about Perry. Actress Camilla Belle agreed with Perry; Swift\u2019s 2010 song <em>Better Than Revenge<\/em> is reportedly about Belle.
