As proven by the heated commentary on this morning’s ‘The View,’ Nicki Minaj & Taylor Swift‘s Twitter tussle yesterday is still very much a hot topic.
Indeed, as the two entered a war of words over Minaj, who slammed the MTV VMAs for snubbing her 2014 hit video ‘Anaconda’ with their 2015 nominations, fans and critics immediately started taking sides. Most recently, two of the more headline grabbing commenters have come in the form of fellow chart-topper Katy Perry and journalist Piers Morgan.
Perry, a longtime nemesis of Swift, offered a subtle jab while the outspoken Morgan opted for a more…umm…overt weigh in.
See their statements below and tell us who you agree with:
Perry, in response to Swift:
Morgan on Minaj (source):
“Don’t play the race or skinny cards, Ms Minaj – you’re just a stroppy little piece of work whose video wasn’t as good as Taylor Swift’s. I have every sympathy with Taylor, who did absolutely nothing wrong,” said Morgan. “And I have no sympathy with Nicki Minaj, who emerges as a whiny brat that just doesn’t like losing.”
“Her charges of racism and big-bodyism are frankly laughable when you consider that three of the five nominations for Video of the Year are black artists,” continued Morgan. “And one of them is Beyonce, whose own body is far more aligned to the Minaj school of physical beauty than Taylor Swift’s.”
Both (Katy Perry and Piers Morgan) are right.
That’s what I’m thinking too. It’s no secret that Taylor is no angel, but Nicki’s approach was wrong. She came off like a hater but didn’t give a f*** about the BET awards that she gets every YR.
Exactly.
And Lil Kim sits back laughn saying, ‘I told yiu so.’
TOLD U NICKI AND MEEK WERE AND BCUS SHE BEEN PASSN PUSSSY TO DRAKE!!! MEEK TOOK DOWN HER PICS AND SHE AND DRAKE ARE BONDN OVER TWITTER AND DRAKE JUST HIT MEEK WITH A BRICK BY TELLN HIM NICKI SLEEPS OVER WHILE MEEK IS OUTTA TOWN!!! BOS SIP!! BUT SAM WONT POST THAT!! Lolol
Meek and Nicki OVER!!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate zaddy please.

I’m sorry. Call me and idiot, but I simply couldn’t understand Katy’s tweet. Could someone reword it for me? I’ve read it 5 times and I still don’t get it.
She’s basically sayin Taylor is a hypocrite because bad blood’s video was a sneak diss to Katy and pit down women against each other…
Piers told NO LIES
He read!
I really hope Nicki gets blackballed from this.
Nicki just needs to go away.
All these big pop girls going at it lmaoooo. Twitter has been a MESS for the last 24 hours.
You seen David grape juice’s face sis? I’m in luv.
Katy Perry was stanning for bbhmm too yasss
Im not a Rihanna fan but Rih was definitely snubbed as well. Im surprised she hasn’t been on twitter running her mouth too. Hopefully she’ll be next to throw shade!!
Sigh. This whole industry has turned into a hot ratchet mess. *Waits for Janet’s tour to start
yawl fans are dumb! What Nicki said was right! They throwing those awards at Taylor when she is s corn ball that’s so boring
but nicki shouldnt have called taylor out nor expect she was deserving of the award. she is upset bc her 2014 version of sarah baartman video did not get the nomination she wanted. but she has 3 other awards to hope the fans vote for. beyonce won wearing a leotard, rihanna won wearing silver paint. ANYYWAYS, she is mad her objectification of her own and the woman body in general did not get her a voty nomination?she did what the white man wanted her to do, while lauryn won the award nicki is crying about, talking about females like nicki. “showing off your ass bc you’re think it is a trend” -l.h.
Nicki body is not even natural to be making this argument! And Nicki has a track record for indirectly taking jabs at other female artists, she ain’t fooling nobody. Also she is known for and has a track record of being two faced to people who have supported her career, so this is no surprise to Taylor Swift who has supported minij
Everything you said has nothing to do with her argument with the VMAs. You’re doing EXACTLY what she said…purposely overlooking her argument on the prejudice of the music/entertainment industry and downplaying the issues that exist.
Nicki quotes …”I’m not looking at you, I’m looking past you”. … Exactly Boobie
Her argument had nothing to do with prejudices in the industry though, she slapped that on to cover her bruised ego
YAAASSSS KATY DRAG TAYLOR SHE HAS NO RIGHT
Nicki should be back balled??????? People in the world are so dumb! So you would want yourself to be black balled for speaking your mind? Everyone has the right to there own f****** opinion and shouldn’t be ridiculed for it
She tweeted “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year”
And then she is acting like it wasn’t aimed at Taylor swift, when taylor swifts video just happens to have a lot skinny models in… And then try’s to says it not her about but racism…
It was definitely aimed at Taylor. People conveniently forget that tweet. But plastic minaj is known for throwing shade and then acting like she didnt
I agree with you and the Taylor fan
No, open your mind…that tweet was most likely in REFERENCE to Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood video. But it wasn’t ABOUT Taylor. Taylor didn’t nominate herself you morons
Have you heard that Katy is the first artist to have two videos reach 1 billion views? Poor Taywh*re is always playing catch up ????
Did you know that blank space has overtook dark horse in views? And will be the second most viewed video ever on YouTube after Gangnam style soon? It’s catching Justin biebers baby everyday !
To be honest, I bet Nicki and Taylor were PAID to engage in this nonsense to deflect media and public attention from the Sandra Bland murder.
THAT’S THE DUMBEST SHI**T I’VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE
Especially since Nicki just posted about the murder…
Y’all kill me using my name for likes????????????
Kii You’re influential in these trolls lives
YAWN she’s s*** end of. If she put as much effort into her music and videos as Kim did she’s be fine. She’s had her day bye flopinka
It’s only 2 o clock and my day is lit.
1. Katy coming for Taylor.
2. Katy coming for Taylor to defend Onika.
3. David finally showing us his face and me wanting to lick it clean.
4. Black twitter dragging piers.
I cant stop staring at him.
These girls are a mess LOL. Anyway I need B6 and R8 to come slay me right about now.
Ridiculous how many people are overlooking what Nicki is saying. Piers Morgans needs to keep his mouth shut because he is KNOWN worldwide as an ignorant racist. Nicki’s argument wasn’t about BLACK people not being nominated. It was about BLACK BEAUTY STANDARDS not being recognized for their contributions. Beyonce is as popular and world reknowned as she is because she appeals to the WHITE MASSES just as much as she appeals to the BLACK MASSES. Nicki is not the same. She has curves that are far different than Beyonce’s. Everytime Nicki does something slightly sexual, the attention focuses off of her talent and more on her body. That doesn’t happen with Beyonce.
She WANTS the attention on her body! The Anaconda video was nothing but ass shaking. It doesn’t deserve a nomination! Her argument would be valid if 3/5 nominated weren’t black! Shut up ugly
Let me drag this ho real quick…I suggest you do your research on Nicki’s overall goal with her career before you assume what she wants and deserves. At her own admission, a lot of the sexual ‘ass shaking’ stuff she does is her own unique way of breaking down barriers between men and women. It’s a way of purposely exploiting the strengths of her body and using it as a weapon against the typical standards of the music industry. When Miley did it a couple years back, she not only got nominated for shaking her ‘ass’ and swinging on balls while naked, she WON. Had it been Nicki, doing the same thing, same voice, same video, it would’ve been overlooked or limited to “Best Hip-Hop Video”.
Biitch I am sick of u desperate hoess. Create your own name and seethe under it!
Miley won because her video had an impact that lasted longer than 2 weeks. Nicki’s video was trash and she has no valid argument, deal with it
Lol what? Beyonce has curves just like Nicki. The only difference is Beyonce’s are natural while Nicki’s are fake. The reason the focus is drawn from her talent to her image is that she HAS NO TALENT. Lol, Barbz are so delusional and stupid, it’s ridiculous. Nicki didn’t get nominated like she felt she deserves so she started complaining but realized she looked like a whiny brat so she tried to make it a social issue. How did she go from body image to race to Spotify and Tidal? She was grasping for a social issue to use as a shield and it failed. Piers clocked her for it.
You’re stupid if you think Beyonce has curves like Nicki Minaj. Beyonce has curves more along the lines of Iggy Azalea. Nicki went from body image to race issues because Taylor Swift involved herself and people like Ryan Seacrest and Piers Morgan defended Taylor Swift without fully understanding her message. Piers didn’t clock her, he made himself look like a sexist by calling her out for voicing her opinions and bringing up irrelevant things like Nicki not being able to meet his son years ago.
Lol what??? Surely you didn’t try to compare Beyonce’s body to Iggy’s! Iggy is tall and thin with a small waist and big a***, basically Tayloose minus the a*** part. On a spectrum between Nicki and Iggy, Bey is most definitely closer to Nicki. Plenty of people have argued Bey is thick (though I disagree). No one would argue the same for Iggy. She was bringing up race and body issues before Tayloose got involved, which is why Tayloose got involved lol! Sit down
SCREAMING AT Payola Perry reading Taylor Swift, this whole situation is a f****** mess
Yall act like Nicki Minaj was fighting for other black artist when she was just fighting for herself using the race card as a shield.
Exactly girl! She was only looking out for herself.
Katy is a kii I really hope Taylor responds.
SCREAMING….Black twitter is going off on Piers Morgan right now, I LIVE….WHAT A F****** MESS
I CAN’T! First off, I appreciate Katy Perry for speaking out on Taylor Swift’s hypocritical ass rant! This is the same biitch that has gained fame for exposing her past relationships with people in her music. She is an evil little white devil whoore and the more fame & success she receives, the more arrogant she becomes. Lastly, I just can’t with Piers Morgan racist ass taking Taylor’s side and having sympathy for her??!! She inserted herself into an argument that had nothing to do with her pancake ass toothpick shaped self. This is exactly what Nicki Minaj was talking about. The american girl next door( undercover industry whoore and cockkk sucker) is made to been seen as the angel. While the black girl who was only expressing her truth and frustrations is made to be the bad guy. I’m pissed rn!????????????????????????
Stfu
Reveal your true self biitch!????
Speak on it Slay! Nothing but the truth!
Lmao how I NEED the necki menij show to come back. So much material for them now
Aren’t you that ugly ass Asian guy named matt? Hopefully you got the mug of yours fixed, yikes.
:sips truthtea:
Three black nominees? Pierce, I know you were dumb, but not that dumb.
Pierce Morgan, Bruno Mars is not, nor did he ever self identity, as black. Being white does not give you privilege to mistake Filippino and Puerto-Rican for black.
Bruno is NOT Filipino
Bruno’s mother is Filipino smart one.
Why did nicki change her body to look so plastic? If she never touched it, she too will be a skinny girl…check her before plastic surgery pics…she was flat all ova…
David i love you.

Mtv most likely thought it was weak, just like everyone else. Sorry boo, that Rihanna reign has let up

LMAO Stop it!
All these celebs wars!!! I love it!
– Jhene Geico got dragged by everyone
– Nicki n everybody vs Taylor Spit
– Loudmouth Mill vs Drake
and not Chris celebrating as if his house didn’t get robbed with his aunty getting locked up in the closet smh.
Where is Azealia Banks when this twitter war fest is happening?
Nobody will EVER top Rihanna’s dragfest on twitter though. I remember the Rihanna vs Ciara twitter feud. We all know who won that and spoke things in existence lol.
That was classic, Rihanna dragged Ciara to the depths.
Thank God Katy pointed out what so many fakes in Hollywood wont: Taylor is a fake feminist and a two-faced hypocrite. It’s hilarious how the same woman who told Tina Fey and Amy Poehler there is a special place in hell for women who hate on each other would go and write a diss song about a woman for a cheap and quick (it only lasted one week lol) #1. Katy clocked her fake @ss and I couldn’t be happier. The internet has already caught on and turned against her, it’s only a matter of time for the media and general public turn too. I also love that she showed RiRi love, I miss their friendship. I guess not everyone feels the need to parade their friendship around for coverage like Tayloose.
You just passed the lie detector test. No lies were told what so ever.
SPILL THAT TEA
Katy is just about as fake as Taylor. She has thrown shade at Mariah and other woman. So did you ever think did she do to make Taylor even write a song about her?
As for Piers Morgan, he spoke nothing but the truth. Black Twitter is upset because it is the painful truth and it’s coming from a white man. I’m disgusted that people are supporting Nicki taking real social issues in this country and using them for her own agenda. It’s not about the VMAs being racist and not giving black artist credit. It’s not about “certain body types” being celebrated over others. It’s about a whining insecure b*tch being upset that her subpar desperate attempt to have an impact was ignored. If Nicki truly cared about body shaming in the media then she wouldn’t have been favoriting tweets of her fans body shaming others who called her out. Nicki is just as fake and two-faced as Tayloose. Even worse that she tried to masquerade her ego trip behind social issues.
B****, you know what, you better spill that good tea cause I’m up here drinking it all up
I see no lies @ LTM
Katy didn’t even say a name, but we all know.

What v**** is doing around twitter right now because this tea can’t be coming from these celebs phones LMAO
Irony is all directions, her tweet applies to Nicki as well. lol This day is twitter history!
All this over a f***** moonman I can see if it was a grammy the Vmas been a joke for years now!
I’m here for the Taylor dragging that bish head was getting to big!
you can’t be this dense,you are being sarcastic right.
Nicki’s first tweet wasn’t about Taylor as much as her last year’s BET Awards speech wasn’t about Iggy. Saying No Shade doesn’t delete the shade. Lil Kim told us about her and her ways years ago. She was dissing Kim on songs for years, but act like she wasn’t. I told y’all, the end of Icky is here.
Yes Nicki does talk about events, but this one was nothing but being a sore loser. She did the same thing, the SAME thing when the Mariah fight happened. “The media is making me look like that angry rapper”, she’s the female Chris Brown, always playing the poor me card.
that’s nice sis, bt don’t you claim not to be a f** and dl, yet you come in her and shade female artists for no reason? r we making you look like a f** or r u doing it yourself?
I thought that word was offensive. Or are you not a gay guy, but a bitter woman that’s mad at the world?
I lowkey love Katy! Speak that truth sis! I respect Taylor and what she has accomplished but we all know that nice girl thing is an act
YASSS!! Katy clocked that white she-devil! Like how are you gonna try the feminist card when you just released Bad Blood? Piers spilled what I said yesterday. Nicki was upset because she tried to have an impact like Miley but it failed. The reason it worked for Miley and not Nicki is because she is irrelevant and fading quick. Her ego was hurt so she slapped on some social justice topics to get Social Justice Twitter/Black Twitter to back her bitter rant and it failed. Nicki you’re a flop, deal with.
This tea, y’all better warn me first, Imma need a bigger flask for this good tea

I was about to make a long ass comment on this but you literally took the EXACT words out of my mouth.
Katy cam in, said what she needed to and vamped!

LMAO that meme is hilarious.
These Katy stans aren’t here for Taylor or Nicki death!!!!!!!!! @LB
Why are all of these celebs dragging and cyber shading each other?
……………Chiiiiiile LOL! I can NOT with this VMA BAFOONERY!!! It’s amazing how an AWARD is supposed to be validation for something. You know what, I can’t even output energy into this. Let the queens fight it out. I’m still waiting for a Taylor & Nicki / Katy & Nicki collab tbh.
All I have to say is f******
L M F A O
at Onika acting like her rant wasn’t Taylor shade when she was favoriting Taylor shade on Twitter while ranting. Then the delusional ass h** had the nerve to backtrack and bring up SJW bait for no reason when Taylor called her out. The ONLY reason Taylor is getting dragged by the mainstream media is because Onika stole some ugly terms like “white media”/”white feminism” from Tumblr, but if you go to the comments section of many of these sites such as CNN & Daily Mail a good majority of the REAL GP (not wannabe SJWs on Twitter) see right through her b*******.
Fortunately the race card (gah I hate using that ugly white conservative term) won’t get Onika’s album to sell more than 300K outside of the US because frankly, no one outside of the US gives a s*** about her anymore, whereas Taylor isn’t even at her peak worldwide.
Dry ho, when it comes to Nicki or anyone else besides your fave your foolish a$$ is always one-sided. No one in here takes you seriously especially when you stan for that depressed crooked nose giant Lana
And what the f*** does Lana have to do with Onika being a bothered b**** who only cares about social issues when they’re against HER? Born To Die outsold Onika’s three albums combined and Ultraviolence outsold The Pinkshįt by 700K worldwide with no promo, hits, or mainstream pandering (such as filler EDM/pop hits)
I’m sure she’s unbothered, unlike Onika who can’t even sell out the same venues Lana did effortlessly without bribing on Groupon, relying on softcore pr0n, and crying “RACISME!!” on Twitter so these broke ass SJ liberal arts majors can go to Target and spend $15 on her CD.
white women always call for unity when it benefits them,but they’re no where when women of color need support.
I’m black but Onika is using the race card for her own benefit & its cliché now. Piers is right, you didn’t get nominated get over it. This is why I love Beyoncé even tho she deserved to win the AOTY grammy, she wasn’t bratty about it & she didn’t throw any race card even if she did she did it privately with her fam & friends my point Nicki needs to stfu & do a better video next time. When she was winning these pop awards she didn’t throw the race card girl bye.
The Only person that can rival Taylor Swift is Miley Cyrus. She can have taylor’s success if she wants too.
Kunty better clock Basic Swift!!! They’re both untalented white trashes but at least Payola Perry speaks the truth from time to time.
Honestly Katy is right and Morgan was completely out of line. Not one time did Nicki make reference to anyone but Taylor decided to speak and then the media began to back her up as if she were right. Taylor needs to sit down somewhere and pick a battle worth fighting.
I’ll be back to buisness soon
