Two days after Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj had a Twitter debate, the "Shake it Off" singer took to the social media site to directly apologize to the "Super Bass" rapper, thus ending their feud.
Swift tweeted Minaj on Thursday, July 23, to make amends after their online exchange, writing, "I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I'm sorry, Nicki."
The 32-year old rapper graciously accepted her apology, tweeting, "That means so much Taylor, thank you."
In another message, Minaj addressed her fans and told them that she has always loved the 25-year old and everyone makes mistakes.
"She gained so much more respect from me. Let's move on," she wrote.
The feud began on Tuesday when Minaj tweeted her frustration after missing out on a Video of the Year nomination for the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. In her tweets, she blasted the VMAs for celebrating "women with very slim bodies."
Swift took the message as a dig at her and her "Bad Blood" video, which was nominated for Video of the Year. Upon reading Minaj's tweet, she wrote that it was unlike the rapper to pit women against each other, but the "Anaconda" hitmaker replied and said that she "didn't say a word" about Swift.
During a Friday appearance on "Good Morning America," Minaj told host Lara Spencer that Swift even reached out to her in a phone call after her Twitter apology on Thursday.
"She was super, super sweet and she apologized," said Minaj. "She said, 'Look, I didn't understand the big picture of what you were saying, but now I get it.' We're all good."
With their social media feud over, Minaj said that she would gladly collaborate with Swift on some new music, saying that "it takes a big person to do what Taylor did." The rapper added that they spoke for "a long time" and ended up laughing on the phone.
Minaj said that she still thinks that her video for "Anaconda" should have been nominated for Video of the Year because of its cultural impact. She said that the music industry should celebrate artists and appreciate their differences.
"We can't only have one type of body being glorified, because it just makes girls even more insecure than we already are," she added.
