I miss my thesaurus, but that's...another story. :kii: I get your point, but Eurovision is far from irrelevant. You are in America, yes? ANYway #joelmchale, I have always said that Nicki comes across as nasty and arrogant. I'll continue to support her music and ignore her obnoxious whining, as I do with scores of other artists out there!

lol the transparency. All Nicki did was try and spin her initial point of being butt hurt that she didn't get that VMA nod, but used a spin around tactic (which she had to adjust three times over before it struck the sjw notes, etc) to try and validate it. Taylor is kind of ridiculous too for putting her nose into it, but really all this does is confirm that both these women are such narcissists. It's really a cold day in hell when I agree with anything Katy Perry says or does, but go figure in this scenario she is the voice of reason. Even if that voice of reason comes from a place where she can conveniently shit on Taylor a bit as well and with no blood on her hands. Gotta say it's Well played on her end tbh.

I like that these 3 ladies are on the K-Z Artists thread. I personally find it convenient. When will you people stop shading Ariana! :'(

She's too grown for this s*it! Or so I thought. Not at all. She has been messy on twitter since forever. Her barbs like to call it opinionated but end of the day when you beef and or talk about your personal life over social media. You messy and looking for attention

Nicki says this:
And two minutes apart is this:
Shady! And even though Taylor overstepped and missed Nicki's (eventual) point, I still CAN'T accept that Nicki's original tweet wasn't aimed at Taylor's video when she was re-tweeting fans saying "Bad Blood" was a s**t knockoff of a Korean girl group's video. They're all so fake, just ughhhh.

Her original tweet was 1000% about Miley Cyrus, who Nicki has kind of shaded before for wearing black culture like a hat. I just think Onika Tanya Maraj is a petty asshole and the second Taylor got it twisted and inserted herself in the situation, all bets were off. Her retweeting the Taylor draggings, to me, was her way of saying "run up, get done up."
I think Nicki was both right and completely justified in her tweets, whilst still being her usually messy, extra-petty self.

I just want to throw this out there. Nicki has been the largest female rapper in the game for years now, and this is in a genre where woman are almost entirely absent. With that in mind, I think that her opinions on the music industry deserve to be heard. You can hear her opinion and then disagree with it, or maybe disagree with how she presented it. However, she has been in the game for a while and has had a breathtaking amount of success, so to reduce her industry opinions down to "whiny" and " a sore loser" is only proving her point. Would we be using those adjectives if she were a white male rockstar?
Anyways, when your record shattering, pop culture impacting video doesn't receive a VOTY nomination, I think you have a right to whine. I also truly believe that Nicki wasn't trying to insult Taylor at any point. Her initial tweets have nothing to do with Taylor and everything to do with the industry on a whole. Edit: Although I do think that she did eventually collapse into an absolute mess.

Would we be using those adjectives if she were a white male rockstar? If Adam Levine started complaining that none of Maroon 5's videos were nominated, those would be the exact adjectives and descriptions that people would use. And they'd be right in that case too. Success doesn't make you immune to thirst and pettiness, Nicki is no exception. She brought up valid points, which a lot of people agree with, but that doesn't change the fact that everything she said was rancid with her own self-interest. There's no mutual exclusivity here.

Yeah look i know what thirst and pettiness is when i see it thanks to a music board i signed up on years ago today. So yeah this fits the bill. She was feeling and overrating her video/song imo. It was a infomercial on booty. There was NADA that screamed out video of the year. It was cute and fun to some but no i think it broke some kinda record on youtube for dislikes?
P.S happy anniversary Coco!!!!

I guess I'm just not seeing this "huge cultural impact" nicki minaj and her fans speak of when referring to ANACONDA. It was just a glorified ass video which ripped off other ass videos and another 90's song about asses.

Exactly. That cultural impact was original done and still felt to this day by Sir Mix A Lot with Baby Got Back. Is the reason why parents still name their daughters Becky, to be honest.

Yeah I don't buy the "cultural impact" thing either. What college hetero wouldn't be tempted to watch free softcore porn from an attractive woman? I wonder how many of those VEVO streams were viewed on mute tbh. The record is hardly because the song or video are works of art.

Y'all are choosing not to see it. Record breaking views, memes, paraodies including one by Ellen, Halloween costumes, hot topics and debates on every talk show/news etc. And now getting it's own wax figure. When the video hit, it HIT. To argue against it is ludicrous to me. And seems, sorry to say it, but hating.

When the video hit, it HIT. To argue against it is ludicrous to me. And seems, sorry to say it, but hating. I can understand why her fans hold the success of "Anaconda" highly. No one is saying it was a flop; it was a big hit last year. But most of those achievements are not unique to this song. The sexual nature of the video definitely appealed to male viewers that probably don't give two shits about Nicki's music. Everything popular gets memes and parodies these days. Ellen herself does them quite frequently. The Halloween costumes just reinforce that many have been saying- the video's a novelty act. The song itself was practically forgotten already until the controversy this week brought it back to the front of our minds. I don't think it's hating to question that perhaps Nicki's ego is leading her to overestimate her own impact here.

Not on no Stan s**t, it did hold the record for views until Taylor (?) broke it. The media (VeVo, MTV, etc) was hyping it up even more. Even the cover had some sort of impact :kii:
I've noticed she's like Ye when it comes to prasing her own work.

Barclays Center was WILD! She brought out Wayne and added songs to the setlist like "Pound the Alarm". She played from about 9:15-11:30!
