Nicki Minaj has finally, and very eloquently, spoken out on her infamous VMA feud with Miley Cyrus.

For those that need a brief refresher before we begin: the “Anaconda” rapper missed out on a VMA Best Video nomination this year, and pointed out that it may have been a question of race – which, given the current climate, is probably a very fair point. However, host Miley Cyrus then felt the need to jump in and dismiss Nicki's complaints, accusing her of being “jealous” and “angry” for making them. Understandably, Nicki was a bit pissed about this, and let it be known at the VMAs with a now iconic, show-stealing single line: “Back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press – Miley, what’s good?”

Now, in a new interview with the New York Times Magazine, Nicki has finally addressed all the drama – and explains why she felt the need to hit back so publicly at the “Dooo it!” singer. 

“The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls,” she explained. “You’re in videos with black men, and you’re bringing out black women on your stages, but you don’t want to know how black women feel about something that’s so important? Come on, you can’t want the good without the bad.”

“If you want to enjoy our culture and our lifestyle, bond with us, dance with us, have fun with us, twerk with us, rap with us, then you should also want to know what affects us, what is bothering us, what we feel is unfair to us. You shouldn’t not want to know that.”

Unfortunately, the interview didn't end up going too well after that. Minaj ended up shutting down journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis after she asked about the singer's apparent need for drama. “You know that’s not just a stupid question,” Minaj replied. “Do not speak to me like I’m stupid or beneath you in any way.”
