*Nicki Minaj appeared on “Good Morning America” today and said she and Taylor Swift have ended their so-called Twitter beef in a laugh-filled phone call.

“It’s over, you guys,” she said of the flareup during an on-stage interview with “GMA’s” Lara Spencer.

The phone call followed Swift’s apology tweet for assuming Minaj was targeting her when the rapper insinuated that MTV VMA’s Video of the Year snub for “Anaconda” was rooted in a bias within the music industry toward white, skinny, model-type physiques and against black female artists.

“I posted something on my Instagram and it just showed the stats of other videos that had been nominated previously, and there just seemed to be a little funny business going on,” Minaj told Spencer.

“‘Anaconda’ had such a huge cultural impact and, on top of that, we broke the Vevo record [for a third time],” she said. “I do think if it was one of the pop girls, there would have many nominations for it.”

“Anaconda” received two nominations but was excluded from the vaunted video of the year and choreography categories. Minaj’s tweets on Tuesday also addressed the obsession with skinny bodies.

“I think that we just have to have both images for girls,” she said Friday. “We can’t have only one type of body being glorified in the media because it just makes girls even more insecure than we already are.”

Minaj revealed that she and Swift spoke over the phone after apologizing on Twitter for the misunderstanding, and told Spencer that she would be open to collaborating with the pop star in the future.

“I’m sure we can,” Minaj said. “You know why, because it takes a big person to do what Taylor did. And everyone sometimes speaks out of turn, you know; I’ve been there. Sometimes we do things and we don’t think right away or we don’t investigate and we just talk, so it was big of her to come out and say that and so, yes, we spoke for a long time. We were cracking up laughing on the phone. It’s over, you guys.”
