Young Money’s Nicki Minaj is still upset with MTV Video Music Awards celebrity host Miley Cyrus and unloaded her problems in a new interview this week.
Within her New York Times Magazine feature, Minaj expressed her issue with Cyrus.
“The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls. You’re in videos with black men, and you’re bringing out black women on your stages, but you don’t want to know how black women feel about something that’s so important? Come on, you can’t want the good without the bad. If you want to enjoy our culture and our lifestyle, bond with us, dance with us, have fun with us, twerk with us, rap with us, then you should also want to know what affects us, what is bothering us, what we feel is unfair to us. You shouldn’t not want to know that.” (New York Times Magazine)
Television personality Wendy Williams scolded Nicki for lashing out at Miley in an interview last month.
“I didn’t watch the VMAs, because again, I was on tour and I was busy sleeping and moisturizing. But I did see the clip and I was very disappointed in Nicki. And I don’t have an opinion about either one of the girls—bad, good or indifferent. They’re both talented in their own way. I just feel that Nicki is like twice Miley Cyrus’ age and it would have been nice if Nicki would have just taken her award, rolled her eyes and looked at the camera—and then kept it moving. I don’t know, I just…Who fights with kids?” (HuffPost Live)
Minaj went at Miley’s head during her acceptance speech for the “Best Hip Hop Video” category at this year’s MTV VMAs show.
“And now back to this b*tch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what’s good?!,” Nicki shouted before Miley responded with, “Hey, we’re all in this industry, we all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate sh*t. Nicki, congratulations.” (MTV Video Music Awards ’15)

Last summer, Cyrus scolded Nicki for ranting about the MTV VMAs nominees selection process favoring white musicians.
“People forget that the choices that they make and how they treat people in life affect you in a really big way. If you do things with an open heart and you come at things with love, you would be heard and I would respect your statement. But I don’t respect your statement because of the anger that came with it. And it’s not anger like, “Guys, I’m frustrated about some things that are a bigger issue.” You made it about you. Not to sound like a b*tch, but that’s like, “Eh, I didn’t get my V.M.A.” (New York Times)
She’s got a point.
She aint got no damn point. Old hag just jealous. She need grow the fuck up. She heading towards 40. Quit messing with kids.
What point?? Miley been doing this for YEARS now and now Minaj feels that popularity slipping and Miley pissed on her bf now she wanna pulll the damn race card…FOH how many cultures (Japanese, Indian, etc) has she exploited in videos without giving 2 fucks about their culture…
Why do black women hate when a white girl is with a black man the hate is strong even tho im a black man i think black women are haters
Because they find it disrespectful. And it is getting out of hand and way too damn lame and trendy these days. At this rate they ain’t even gon be no black race in future. Just a bunch of mixed muthafuckaz. Just being real with it…
