Nicki Minaj angrily addressed Miley Cyrus live at the 2015 MTV VMAs.

Just after Nicki Minaj went off on Miley Cyrus onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards, some viewers thought it was fake. But, the rapper spoke about it to the New York Times and it sure feels very real to her.

Minaj says she blew her lid when she was accepting the award for Best Hip Hop video and caught a glance of the show's host, Cyrus.

‘‘I saw [Cyrus] just looking at me, with her face screwed up, and I thought, What the!’’ Minaj told The Times.

In a series of July tweets, Minaj insinuated that her lack of inclusion in the category's nominees involved racism, because "'other' girls" who break records and have an impact on culture get nominated. She also felt that being body positive about curvy, more ethnic bodies vs. slim bodies affected her chances of being nominated. It turned out Swift felt Minaj's tweets were targeting her and lashed back at the rapper. They soon patched it up with Swift apologizing. They even performed together at the VMAs.
