MTV VMAS OR WWE?! Nicki Minaj Fires SHOTS At Miley Cyrus During The VMAs, Then Miley Fires Back!

YES! YES! YES! FIGHT! FIGHT! Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj may have used the VMAs to quash their beef, but now Nicki has another target in her crosshairs: Miley Cyrus, who threw shots at Nicki in a New York Times interview earlier this week. The TLDR of the Miley/Nicki beef stems from Nicki’s comments that come from “Anaconda” being snubbed from a Video of the Year nomination, which caused the Tay/Nicki beef. Here’s the except from the NY Times Q/A:

Do you know what she said?

She was saying that everyone was white and blonde that got nominated, I heard? And then Taylor Swift butted in.

She may have alluded to “Wrecking Ball” also, saying that when a naked white girl breaks a Vevo record she gets nominated.

I didn’t follow it. You know what I always say? Not that this is jealousy, but jealousy does the opposite of what you want it to — that’s a yoga mantra. 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 bitch, but that’s like, “Eh, I didn’t get my V.M.A.”

But she was ——

If you want to make it about race, there’s a way you could do that. But don’t make it just about yourself. Say: “This is the reason why I think it’s important to be nominated. There’s girls everywhere with this body type.”

I think she did say that ——

What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It’s not very polite. I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love. You don’t have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn’t even on what you wanted it to be about. Now you’ve just given E! News “Catfight! Taylor and Nicki Go at It.”

I know you can make it seem like, Oh I just don’t understand because I’m a white pop star. I know the statistics. I know what’s going on in the world. But to be honest, I don’t think MTV did that on purpose.

This went viral, as celebrity gossip stories do. Them tonight, at the VMAs, Nicki brought it back up when she won the award for Best Hip Hop video. She fired shots about the interview at Miley, then Miley fired right back:

OOOO!!!!! FIGHTING WORDS! THE VMAS JUST BECAME WRESTLEMANIA FOR POP STARS.

Cue Vince McMahon.
