Nicki Minaj Slams MTV, Taylor Swift After 'Anaconda' Snubbed at VMAs

Nicki Minaj: "Anaconda" music video

Minaj fired some low key shots at MTV and Swift after "Bad Blood" got nominated while "Anaconda" was snubbed for Video of the Year. Citing the music video's pop culture impact and VEVO record (which was eventually beaten by Swift), Minaj said if she were an "other" artist, her clip would have gotten nominated.

If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well.

Ellen did her own anaconda video and did the #choreo lol. Remember her doing that kick . Even mtv did a post on the choreo @MTV remember? — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015

U couldn't go on social media w/o seeing ppl doing the cover art, choreo, outfits for Halloween...an impact like that & no VOTY nomination? — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015

When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination. — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015

Minaj also seems displeased that her collaboration with Beyoncé, "Feeling Myself," wasn't nominated. (However, Beyoncé's "7/11" got multiple nods, including Video of the Year.)

Hey guys @MTV thank you for my nominations. Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or...?

MTV has yet to respond to Minaj's remarks. Though it's not up for Video of the Year, "Anaconda" is nominated for three awards including Best Female Video and Best Hip-Hop Video. Minaj is also nominated alongside Ariana Grande and Jessie J for "Bang Bang."

The 2015 MTV VMAs will take place on Aug. 30, hosted by Miley Cyrus.
