MANILA, Philippines – It looks like the “feud” between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift is not about to end.

Just a day after Nicki and Taylor traded tweets over the rapper being snubbed at the MTV Video Music Awards, Katy Perry took to Twitter to seemingly join the conversation.

On Wednesday, Nicki lamented on Twitter that her video “Anaconda” was not nominated for the Video of the Year category of this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year,” the rapper said in one of her tweets.

Thinking the comment was directed to her, Taylor responded to Nicki’s tweets and said: “I've done nothing but love and support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot."

In a tweet on Thursday, the “Roar” singer told her 72 millions followers: “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably (sic) capitalizes on the take down of a woman...”

She added the “real travesty” is that Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money,” was not nominated for this year’s Video Music Awards.

Katy and Taylor are rumored to have poor relations with each other, although the two are yet to open up about their speculated feud.

Other pop stars chimed in on Taylor and Nicki’s Twitter conversation. Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars also took to Twitter to make light of the feud.

Bruno decided to start his own “Twitter beef” and tweeted Ed Sheeran. “Yo I want in on this twitter Beef!! VMAs is the new WWF!! @edsheeran F*ck You!” he said on his Twitter account.

Ed responded by saying, “Any way we do dis you gon’ come up short.”

The two proceeded by exchanging puns:
