Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran Hilariously Mock Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift’s VMAs Twitter Fight
Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift took part in a pretty brutal Twitter exchange last night after the MTV VMA nominations were announced. Minaj was upset that she hadn’t received more nominations, while Swift then responded after she assumed that one of Minaj’s tweets was directed towards her.
Things got even more heated when Kim Kardashian appeared to get involved too. But, it was left to Bruno Mars to deflate the situation with a tremendous tweet, which proved how ridiculous the entire debacle had become. Mars drafted in Ed Sheeran to assist him too, writing as follows.
“Yo I want in on this twitter Beef!! VMAs is the new WWF!! @edsheeran F*** You!”
This then provoked Ed Sheeran to respond with his own pretty impressive battle cry to Mars:
@BrunoMars any way we do dis you gon’ come up short — Ed Sheeran (@edsheeran) July 22, 2015
But Bruno Mars wasn’t going to let Ed Sheeran have the final word, because the diminutive musician then insisted that he was more than ready to throw down in a fight if necessary. In fact, the perfect poster has already been created.
SHOW YOURSELF!!! @edsheeran https://t.co/J07BphUedV

Just to prove how ridiculous these spats had become, Mars also devised a deliciously punny retort for Ed Sheeran, too.
That Cut deep..U always know how to sheer me to the core. I can’t believe we’re Sheeran this in public. How dare u! https://t.co/fdYOVnlScF — Bruno Mars (@BrunoMars) July 22, 2015
Sheeran wasn’t going to be outdone, though, and he soon came back with his own response that looked to insult Mars’ eyebrows.
@BrunoMars but all my crew know that Bruno has eyebrows dat be uno. And plays Cluedo with SuBo, but you lose coz you blow

For the uninformed, on Tuesday night, Nicki Minaj sent out a series of tweets that admonished the fact that the video for “Anaconda” hadn’t been nominated for Best Choreography and Video of the Year at the VMAs. One such message left Taylor Swift particularly upset, as she assumed it was directed at her.
@NICKIMINAJ I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.. — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 21, 2015
Then Kim Kardashian appeared to accidentally get involved too, as she made a reference to her husband Kanye West’s infamous interruption of Taylor Swift at a previous VMAs, captioning an image of herself with, “Imma let you finish but…” Kardashian denied that she was dissing Taylor Swift though, quickly adding.
Wait wait I’m in Paris it’s the middle of the night & I’m posting my Vogue Spain pics not having a clue what’s going on in the music world
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 21, 2015
I’m not trying to shade anyone! That’s not my style! I just thought that caption was perfect for that pic! Changing the caption now! #ironic

All of this means that the 2015 MTV VMAs on August 30, 2015, hosted by Miley Cyrus, will be very interesting, indeed.
