(It began when Minaj realized her video for “Anaconda” wasn’t up for Best Choreography and Video of the Year.) Bruno Mars, whose video for “Uptown Funk” _did_ earn a nomination for Video of the Year, noticed this so-called beef and decided he wanted in on the action. So he attempted to spar with fellow nominee Ed Sheeran.
