Katy Perry is the latest celebrity to weigh in on the Twitter controversy between her rumoured pop rival Taylor Swift and rapper Nicki Minaj.
The 'Firework' singer has referred to the widely-held suspicions that Swift's VMA nominated 'Bad Blood' is about her, after the 'Shake It Off' singer told Rolling Stone she had written the song about a female friend who "basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour" in 2013.
Following the disagreement between Swift and Minaj over the VMA nominations announced this week, Katy Perry took to Twitter to voice her opinion.
When the 'Super Bass' singer tweeted MTV saying she had been left out of the segment for her video 'Anaconda' because she wasn’t the right "kind" of girl, Taylor, whose video did feature in the category, took offence and accused her peer of "pitting women against each other".
However, despite Nicki insisting she had never meant to slam Taylor, she once again took to Instagram on Wednesday in an attempt to have the last word on the matter.
Praising the outlets that had reported the story in a way she approved of, Nicki wrote: "The list goes on of news/media outlets who used their voice to help me make a very obvious point. Thank you so much."Nothing to do with any of the women, but everything to do with a system that doesn't credit black women for their contributions to pop culture as freely/quickly as they reward others. We are huge trendsetters, not second class citizens that get thrown crumbs. This isn't anger. This is #information. It's all love to MTV.
She concluded her Instagram post by thanking her fans for their support.
"Kisses to my fans and thank you for my 3 nominations. #ThePinkprintTOUR tonight in VA! Over 15 thousand people. I can't wait to see u guys," she finished.
