what did miley cyrus say about nicki minaj

Miley Cyrus publicly criticized the way Nicki Minaj spoke out about her 2015 MTV Video Music Awards nominations, calling Minaj’s comments “not very polite” and suggesting she made the situation “about herself.”

What Miley Cyrus Said

  • In an interview ahead of the 2015 VMAs, Miley said that what she read from Nicki “sounded very Nicki Minaj, which… is not very polite.”
  • She argued that if Nicki wanted to make a point about race and representation, “there’s a way you could do that,” but “don’t make it just about yourself.”
  • Miley framed Nicki’s frustration over the “Anaconda” VMA snub as coming from “anger” and made it sound like Nicki was basically saying, “Eh, I didn’t get my VMA.”

The “Miley, What’s Good?” Moment

  • Nicki Minaj later confronted Miley live on stage at the 2015 VMAs after accepting an award, saying, “And now back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press — Miley, what’s good?”
  • That call‑out became a viral pop‑culture moment and is often remembered as the peak of their public tension.

Later References and Ongoing Tension

  • Years later, the tension resurfaced when Miley rapped, “I love you Nicki, but I listen to Cardi” on her song “Cattitude,” which many took as a sly dig tied to Nicki’s ongoing feud with Cardi B.
  • Nicki then clapped back on her Queen Radio show, saying Miley had disrespected her “for no reason” and mocking her as a “Perdue chicken,” explicitly linking that to Miley’s past comments in the press.

TL;DR: Miley Cyrus said Nicki Minaj’s VMA complaints weren’t “polite,” suggested Nicki made it “about herself,” and questioned the anger behind Nicki’s tweets, which led directly to Nicki’s iconic onstage response, “Miley, what’s good?” and an on‑off feud that has popped back up in later years.
