What’s good? Nicki Minaj still isn’t a fan of Miley Cyrus. The “Anaconda” rapper broke her silence about their epic 2015 MTV Video Music Awards beef during a new interview with the New York Times magazine for its Culture issue.
As previously reported — and heard around the world! — Minaj called out the VMAs host, 22, on stage after accepting the Moonman for Best Hip Hop Music Video on Aug. 30. At the time, she was responding to an interview Cyrus did with the New York Times in August.
In the article, Cyrus said Minaj was in the wrong for getting into a Twitter feud with Taylor Swift over the Video of the Year category — and for getting upset that black vocalists don’t get enough credit.
“The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls,” Minaj, 32, told NYT mag of the “Adore You” singer. “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?”
She continued: “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.”
Minaj’s jabs against Cyrus have made a lasting impression. After she asked Cyrus, “Miley, what’s good?” at the VMAs, the phrase went viral.
The former Disney star, meanwhile, hasn’t spoken out since the incident. She even tried to sweep the argument under the rug after Minaj’s spat at L.A.’s Microsoft Theater. “Hey, we are all in this industry and we all do interviews and say s–t,” the “Wrecking Ball” singer said at the time. “Nicki, congratuf–kinglations.”
