KYLIE Jenner and Travis Scott have been “moved away” from Nicki Minaj at the MTV VMA’s following their Twitter fight.

Nicki, 35, lashed out at Travis and Kylie over the weekend when she claimed the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star unfairly helped him get extra album sales by plugging his new release Astroworld.

MTV bosses unveiled the seating plan for tonight’s star studded ceremony online earlier this week.

Originally, Nicki was sat directly in front of the loved up couple.

However now claim that Travis, 26, and 21-year-old Kylie have been placed on the “opposite side of the room” from Nicki to avoid any confrontation.

Nicki’s new album failed to get to number one in the US Billboard 200 chart last week, while Travis’ has been at number one.

She shocked fans this week by lashing out online, telling her fans: “I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. lol.

“Im actually laughing. Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans.”

Both Travis and Kylie have ignored the spat and have yet to respond to her comments online.

This year’s MTV Music Awards are being held in New York’s Radio City Hall for the 12th year running.
