'I've always loved her. Everyone makes mistakes. She gained so much more respect from me,' says Minaj after Swift admits she missed the point of her complaint about VMAs.

AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift officially ended feud with Nicki Minaj. Days after they got involved in a heated argument over the rapper's MTV Video Music Award nomination, the pop superstar apologized to Minaj in a Twitter post and admitted she missed her point.
I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I'm sorry, Nicki.

"I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I'm sorry, Nicki.@NICKIMINAJ," she wrote on Thursday, July 23. Minaj quickly accepted her apology, replying, "That means so much Taylor, thank you @taylorswift13."
In another tweet, she added, "I've always loved her. Everyone makes mistakes. She gained so much more respect from me. Let's move on."
Swift and Minaj got into an online spat last Tuesday, after the Young Money femcee found out her "Anaconda" video wasn't nominated for the coveted Video of the Year at this year's MTV VMAs. "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year," she complained on Twitter.
Swift, one of two female acts nominated for the awards, thought Minaj was attacking her and later responded, "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."
Minaj then denied she was talking about Swift or anyone in particular. On Wednesday, she tried to explain what her point was by posting a Marie Claire article and saying in the caption, "Nothing to do with any of the women, but everything to do with a system that doesn't credit black women for their contributions to pop culture as freely/quickly as they reward others."
"We are huge trendsetters, not second class citizens that get thrown crumbs. This isn't anger. This is #information. It's all love to MTV," she continued.
