Piers Morgan Slams Nicki Minaj Over Twitter Feud With Taylor Swift

After MTV's VMA nominations were revealed yesterday, Nicki Minaj and Taylor swift were involved in a bit of a heated exchange on Twitter after Minaj voiced her frustration over her video "Anaconda" not getting nominated for Video of The Year. Now, Piers Morgan has weighed in on their "feud," and he doesn't have anything nice to say about the rapper.

The 50-year-old journalism and television personality decided to voice his personal opinion on this feud, and mostly Minaj, in an op-ed for the Daily Mail titled "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." He started the article off noting that Minaj once worked, and was fired, from a Red Lobster and "at least fifteen other jobs," for reasons similar to "discourtesy to customers."

In Minaj's tweets, she wrote that she believes MTV only chooses videos that "celebrate women with very slim bodies," but Morgan took this as Minaj believing she was snubbed because, "she's a) black and b) not skinny enough."

"I have every sympathy with Taylor, who did absolutely nothing wrong," Morgan wrote. "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," he continued to write. "And one of them is Beyonce, whose body is far more aligned to the Minaj school of physical beauty than Taylor Swift's."

As for his personal reasons to attack Minaj, he claims he's "experienced at firsthand what a stroppy little piece of work she could be." Apparently, when he was a judge on "America's Got Talent" and she was a guest act, he asked if his three sons could get a photo with her backstage, to which Minaj replied "No."

"For Nicki Minaj, who is indisputably very talented, to play the race card just because her video didn't get the nomination she wanted is a cheap piece of faux outrage deliberately designed to stir up unnecessary racial tension where it shouldn't exist," he wrote, closing out the article with, "Shame on you, Ms Minaj."
