Nicki Minaj got on Twitter to complain about a VMA snub Tuesday evening, and Taylor Swift took the rapper's comments as a personal attack.
Now, their fans are choosing sides and Twitter is freaking out.
Oh, and Kim Kardashian West somehow got involved. But we'll get to that part later.
It all started when MTV's Video Music Award nominations came out.
Minaj's video "Anaconda" wasn't nominated for Video of the Year, despite shattering Vevo records and accruing a whopping 19 million views in 24 hours. It also missed out on Best Choreography.
"Anaconda" was nominated for Best Female Video and Best Hip Hop Video, though. Meanwhile, Minaj's duet with Beyoncé, "Feeling Myself," wasn't nominated for a single award.
Minaj retweeted a few of her fans' complaints about the perceived snubs:

Then, she sounded off:

Minaj mentioned how much of an impact "Anaconda" made.

Then, two hours later, Minaj sent the tweet that apparently set Swift off:

Clearly feeling insulted, Swift came out of nowhere to respond.

Minaj seemed confused.

Here are Nicki's followups, and some of the fan tweets she retweeted:

Then, things got even crazier when Kim Kardashian unknowingly inserted herself into the drama.
The reality star tweeted a photo of herself with the caption "Imma let you finish." This was the photo, which she's since reposted with a different caption:

After fans took note of the original post, they thought the "Imma let you finish" was a thinly veiled jab directed at Swift.
Twitter users were already losing it because of the Minaj v. Swift dustup. After Kim got involved, they completely lost their cool.

But it was too good to be true.
Kardashian soon tweeted that she had no idea about the drama and didn't mean to "Imma let you finish" Swift.

Now, a debate is roiling on Twitter.

It's unclear whether these two fandoms will ever be able to co-exist on Twitter again.
But there is one clear winner: MTV. They've got everyone talking about the VMAs a full month before the show even airs.
