"Bad Blood" is currently brewing between Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj. The YMCMB darling's recent Twitter rant put the "Shake It Off" songstress on edge - but which side of the cyber feud are MstarsNews readers on?

Minaj feels "snubbed" by MTV, considering her two hit singles "Anaconda" and "Feeling Myself" were NOT nominated for "Video of the Year" at this year's upcoming VMAs. The 32-year-old twerker deserves more respect and recognition after such hard work and success:

@NICKIMINAJ: "Lol u guys did we miss the deadline?? #MTV? Hey guys @MTV thank you for my nominations. [Kisses] Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or...?"

Minaj then discusses body images and Hollywood stereotypes:

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

@NICKIMINAJ: "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?"

@NICKIMINAJ  17h: "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?"

@NICKIMINAJ: "When the 'other' girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination."

She then concluded with:

@NICKIMINAJ: "Ok love u guys I have to get ready. Keep reppin me, do it til the death of me. X in the box. Cuz ain't nobody checkin me... Oh but trust me. I'll be on that stage to collect my awards for vid of the year. Feeling Myself & Anaconda."

@NICKIMINAJ: "I'm not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it."

But that's when Swift later responds to this tweet:

@NICKIMINAJ: "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

The 25-year-old songstress is the only female represented in the category besides Beyonce, so seems somewhat like a direct aim.

@taylorswift13: "@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..."

Let the cyber feud commence!

@NICKIMINAJ: "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."

@taylorswift13: "@NICKIMINAJ If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on."

Despite Swift's eventual truce, Minaj finished with these heated tweets:

@NICKIMINAJ: "Nothing I said had to do with Taylor. So what jabs? White media and their tactics. So sad. That's what they want."

@NICKIMINAJ: "I'm so glad u guys get to see how this stuff works. Taylor took her music off spotify and was applauded. We launched Tidal & were dragged."

Wow.

The blonde beauty now remains quiet. Well, here are the official nominees:

Beyonce: "7/11"

Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson: "Uptown Funk!"

Taylor Swift & Kendrick Lamar: "Blank Space"

Ed Sheeran: "Thinking Out Loud"

Kendrick Lamar: "All Right"

Meanwhile, Minaj's "Buy a Heart" lover Meek Mill just went crazy on social media, too! Perhaps good promotion for their The PinkPrint tour?
