Other powerful entertainment celebrities like Katy Perry and Whoopi Goldberg have weighed in on Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift's Twitter issue, which began when the list of the MTV Video Music Awards nominees was released.

Controversial Tweets and Exchanges

When the nominees were revealed and Minaj's "Anaconda" was not included in the Video of the Year category, the "Super Bass" rapper immediately turned to Twitter to vent out her emotions.

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

After that, she again tweeted, "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

The "Bad Blood" singer, who probably thought she and her video were the ones Minaj was pertaining to, didn't take the rapper's tweets sitting down. After all, aside from Swift and the curvy Beyoncé who is nominated for "7/11," the other nominees in the list are three men - Ed Sheeran for "Thinking Out Loud," Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars for "Uptown Funk" and Kendrick Lamar for "Alright," as stated on MTV.com.

Swift's "Bad Blood" video features slim celebrities like Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Martha Hunt, Jessica Alba, Serayah, Gigi Hadid, and Cara Delevingne.


Goldberg, Perry's opinion

The Academy Award-winning actress shared her opinion on "The View" where she serves as the co-host. Goldberg opined that Beyoncé, a nominee of the Video of the Year Award is not slim and may disprove Minaj's issue on the so-called MTV's preferred body form. "Beyonce gets nominated and wins. Not that I'm putting Beyonce down, I'm not - I'm just saying that's a full-figured b*tch, I'm sorry," Goldberg said, as quoted by The Wrap.

However, a tweet from the "Roar" singer is becoming even more controversial, and Swift may not respond to it.

Entertainment Tonight explained that in a way, Perry was trying to say that Swift is being a "hypocrite" by writing the words "pit against other women" especially since her "Bad Blood" video is inspired by a "take down of a woman." The site stated that the girl being targeted in the video is Perry, although Swift did not name her "straight up enemy" in her 2014 interview with Rolling Stone.

Swift told Rolling Stone magazine that the celebrity she dislikes "did something horrible" as she "tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me."

Minaj cleared the air between her and Swift by saying the tweet was not about her, but Perry's tweet, supposedly directed at Swift, is still not settled.
