The tweet was enough to incite a response from an offended Swift.
"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," Swift tweeted .
Minaj responded "Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this," replied Minaj.
The pair appeared to make up, with Swift saying "If I win, please come up with me! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on."
Minaj then turned on the media once reports of the spat were published. "Nothing I said had to do with Taylor. So what jabs? White media and their tactics. So sad. That's what they want," she said.
But Minaj isn't taking her MTV Video Music Awards snubs well, taking to Twitter to criticise network bosses for overlooking her Beyonce collaboration.
The rapper picked up three nods - but not in the categories she was expecting.
And she was stunned that her Feeling Myself promo didn't get a mention.
"MTV thank you for my nominations. Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or?" Minaj tweeted.
Minaj then sat back and watched as fans took aim at MTV for not nominating her Anaconda promo for Video of the Year.
She later tweeted, "When the 'other' girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination".
Minaj added: "U couldn't go on social media w/o (without) seeing ppl (people) doing the Anaconda cover art, choreo (choreography), outfits for Halloween ... an impact like that & no VOTY nomination?"
Taylor Swift leads the VMAs nominations with nine. Minaj picked up nods for Best Female Video and Best Hip-Hop Video (Anaconda) and Best Collaboration for her Bang Bang hit with Jessie J and Ariana Grande.
The MTV VMAs ceremony will take place in Los Angeles next month.
