![The Taylor / Nicki VMA 'Feud' is Escalating in a Rather Interesting Way](https://img.resized.co/beaut/eyJkYXRhIjoie1widXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3d3dy5iZWF1dC5pZVxcXC9pXFxcL25vSW1hZ2UucG5nP3Y9MlwiLFwid2lkdGhcIjo3MzcsXCJoZWlnaHRcIjpudWxsLFwiZGVmYXVsdFwiOlwiaHR0cHM6XFxcL1xcXC93d3cuYmVhdXQuaWVcXFwvaVxcXC9ub0ltYWdlLnBuZ1wifSIsImhhc2giOiIzMWEzZDU2YWE3MDRjNWMxNTYxMjIyZDYwYzdkMjU5MWZjM2NjMjQ0In0=/noimage.png?v=2)
This was bound to happen. Given Katy's reported feelings regarding Taylor Swift, her involvement in the VMA nominations debate was almost inevitable.
In case you need to bring yourself up to speed - Nicki Minaj wasn't happy with only getting two nominations for Anaconda. Taylor Swift wasn't happy with some of her tweets, and then Kim Kardashian 'inadvertently' got herself involved.
Here are Katy's two cents regarding the Bad Blood singer's tweets...
Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman...

Well, you can't really argue with that.
According to Us Weekly, Nicki Minaj was among the first to favourite Perry's tweet. She also Instagrammed articles prompted by her exchange with Swift. She captioned the below:

"Marie Claire, thank u Time Magazine, The Guardian, New York Times, Complex, Vibe, Karen Civil, TV Guide, etc. The list goes on of news/media outlets who used their voice to help me make a very obvious point. Thank you so much. Nothing to do with any of the women, but everything to do with a system that doesn't credit black women for their contributions to pop culture as freely/quickly as they reward others. We are huge trendsetters, not second class citizens that get thrown crumbs. This isn't anger. This is #information. It's all love to MTV. Kisses to my fans and thank you for my 3 nominations. #ThePinkprintTOUR tonight in VA! Over 15 thousand people. I can't wait to see u guys. "
This didn't stop Whoopie Goldberg saying on The View yesterday "What the hell is going on? Beyonce gets nominated and wins. Not that I’m putting Beyonce down, I’m not - I’m just saying that’s a full-figured bitch, I’m sorry."
Taking a more light-hearted view on things, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars totally took the piss...

Storm in a teacup, or a subject matter that really needs proper consideration?
