It's obvious Miley is disagreeing with the femcee after she ranted on Twitter last month about not scoring a nod for 'Video of the Year' at the VMAs. Swift took some of the rapperâs tweets personal, feeling as if they were digs against her, which Minaj denied. Though the two later made up, VMAs host Cyrus blames Minaj for the war.
Cyrus tells the New York Times that, "She was saying that everyone was white and blonde that got nominated, I heard? And then Taylor Swift butted in.â And though Cyrus goes on to say that she didnât really âfollowâ what went down, it actually seems like she did.
"What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. Itâs not very polite. I think thereâs a way you speak to people with openness and love. You donât have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isnât even on what you wanted it to be about. Now youâve just given E! News âCatfight! Taylor and Nicki Go at It.'â
"I know you can make it seem like, Oh I just donât understand because Iâm a white pop star. I know the statistics. I know whatâs going on in the world. But to be honest, I donât think MTV did that on purpose," continues Cyrus.
And the singer also thinks Minaj diluted her own point by coming from an âangryâ place. She explains, "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 donât respect your statement because of the anger that came with it. And itâs not anger like, âGuys, Iâm frustrated about some things that are a bigger issue.'"
Cyrus adds, "You made it about you. Not to sound like a bitch, but thatâs like, âEh, I didnât get my VMA.'"
Minaj has not responded to Cyrusâ interview.
