Are Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj Beefing?
By Anny Jules. By Instagram
It seems so!
During an interview with The New York Times, Miley Cyrus was asked to share her opinion on Nicki Minaj’s recent Twitter debacle with Taylor Swift over the MTV Video Music Awards.
Miley responded by insinuating that Nicki is jealous of Taylor Swift and egotistical.
She said, “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.”
She added, "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 VMA'...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.’"
Nicki naturally caught wind of the interview and tweeted a special thanks to Complex magazine for defending her in regards to Miley’s recent statements.
It will be interesting to see how the brewing beef between Nicki and Miley evolves. After all, Nicki is opening the VMA’s while Miley is hosting. These two are bound to run into each other at some point.
Talk about awkward!

Though it is unclear what role Willie play on the show, he teased that his move to L.A. is to achieve his dreams and hopefully get out of the financial rut that he and his family have been facing.
“Moving from Chicago to LA is a huge jump in itself, but to bring my family here while I attempt to fill a void in my Dreams is a big ass leap,” he wrote on Instagram.
He added, “The price of living out here is way to expensive and with no family out here it's all on me!!!! How far are you willing to go to see your dreams come true? Would you move? Would you invest? Tune In Sept. 7th #LHHH2 on @VH1.”
