The apparent feud between Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus continues.
Following their VMAs spat, where Nicki confronted Miley while accepting her award, saying, ”This bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press… Miley, what’s good,” the rapper opened up to the New York Times about the incident.
”The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls,” Nicki told the NYT.

Tensions initially flared after Miley said Nicki was wrong for her Twitter rant following the VMAs Video of the Year nominations.
“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?” Nicki continued.
Nicki went on to question if Miley is truly immersing herself in black culture.

Adding, “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.”
Miley has yet to address the issue other than her VMAs comment, when she told Nicki from the stage, “Hey, we are all in this industry and we all do interviews and say s**t.”
