Miley Cyrus on Nicki Minaj's VMA Snub Comments: "You Made It About You"
Update 8/30: Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus had some choice words for each other onstage at the VMAs.
Original Story (8/27); The 2015 VMAs are still a few days away and things are heating up. Last month Nicki Minaj tweeted criticism of the show: She felt snubbed for her "Anaconda" video and her Beyoncé collaboration, "Feelin' Myself." She made it known, critiquing a greater culture of racism and institutionalized body shaming. Taylor Swift jumped in though she was never directly called out and the whole thing became a shit show.
Today Miley Cyrus, this year's VMAs host, shared with the New York Times all her thoughts about the ordeal:
"I didn’t really get into it...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.”
