Nicki Minaj
It’s Nicki the Ninja, Nicki the Boss, Nicki the Harajuku Barbie, and she enters Twitter with one lame-ass Tweet…

But don’t fret Barbs, she has not let us down since has, she?
One of the most controversial moments was when Nicki Minaj called out the VMAs for not nominating Anaconda for Video of the Year.
If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

The Tweet provoked a response from Taylor Swift, causing some tension between the two, which was ultimately resolved and the two performed together at the VMAs at a later date.
Nicki has also used her platform to get her voice out there about important causes and support other females:
When u see a woman in a toxic relationship, rather than laugh & say mean things, try to offer sound advice from your heart & root for her to learn her worth. We’ve all been there. I saw my parents fight & argue non stop & never divorce, so I thought this was normal behavior…

Of course, Nicki is also known for having beef on Twitter, and her famous rivalry with Mariah Carey is one of the most known. Despite having featured in a song and music video of Mariah Carey’s early in her career, Nicki and the Honey singer did not get along when working on American Idol together.
Responding to a Tweet from Perez Hilton, Nicki said the following about Mariah:
What u SHOULD be doing (wit your messy ass) is asking why a woman SO successful at her age, is still so INSECURE, and bitter @perezhilton

It is not the only time she has Tweeted about Mariah:
All dem #1s but JLo phone ringin? Lol. I guess having a personality, being a secure woman, and giving genuine critique still trumps that.

At the time, J.Lo was rumored to be replacing Mariah Carey, and it is clear to see whose camp Nicki was in!
