Nicki Minaj discusses her rift with Miley Cyrus during an interview that was published in The New York Times today (October 7).
‘‘The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects Black women makes me feel like you have some big balls,” Nicki Minaj says of the tiff centered on her “Anaconda” video not getting nominated for MTV’s Video Music Awards video of the year. “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.’’
Azealia Banks writes on Twitter today that Nicki Minaj’s comments in The New York Times are misguided.
“I wish Nic would stop trying to turn this Miley thing into a race issue cuz she was mute about cultural approp. until she became “victim,”” Azealia Banks writes on Twitter. “Plus how u gonna complain about a video with skinny women when ur body is enhanced .. You too were once a skinny woman.”
Azealia Banks then discusses Lil’ Kim, who has been the target of ridicule after undergoing a series of cosmetic surgery procedures and who also engaged in a public beef with Nicki Minaj.
“The fact that Lil’ Kim was treated the way she was by hip-hop (I am also guilty of being on this bandwagon) is ridiculous to me,” Banks writes on Twitter. “It took me some time and maturity to come to these conclusions but it’s truth. There isn’t a female rap category anywhere but BET really..Like why viciously rip off Kim’s head and be so cordial and thoughtful about ur dealings with these white chix ?”

This bitch always got an opinion., and clearly no one gives a fuck.
I dressed up as a 50yo white dude and Azealia let me skeet down her throat.
She’s telling some truth.
Why she talking shit ? Okay, we get it. Your skinny and mad Nicki came at Miley. You obviously don’t understand where Nicki coming from, so she needs to escort herself. Not to mention she was almost pettier then Nicki to bring up some old ass beef from like.. 4 years ago ? Heffah, Lil Kim and Nicki both got implants have you seen that bitch face compared to Nicki booty? Girl what chu been smoking ?_? But, I must admit, Nicki did trip a little bit and I don’t think it was that much of a deal like just know you still on top but I guess she didn’t wanna do that. And if I’m not mistaken, won’t Miley somewhat bitch’n over an award she didn’t get during the VMA’S before Nicki got nominated ?_? Y’all be so quick to get on Nicki and defend Miley smh. Moral of the story Azealia, as it looks, you don’t like Nicki. And your acting just like Miley by jumping your nose into an issue that doesn’t even concern you like… Miley jumped into some over and done beef and your jumping into beef that doesn’t have your name it. What’s with basic bottom bitches these days ?_? /Waits for someone to come for me Lolll
Man how you gon grill her like that? Azealia is a genius just like kanye! She’s just working on her album sales. let her say things that she shouldn’t say it’s all apart of hr marketing scheme that you’re trying to mess up!
She’s fluck for the nicki minaj comment. if someone has a race issue do not support the other race AT ALL. We have to stay together when we fight the other side regardless of who did what or what we heard about each other. Black people can’t keep stabbing each other in the back and think that we are going to solve these issues. out of all people azealia banks should be the last person putting down someone for pulling the race card. This proves to me that she is not a stable leader for the black community.
Nicki don’t get nominated for a award. And apparently it’s because she’s black. Grow up Nicki stop playing the race card. You didn’t get nominated because you didn’t. Simple as that. Yes race issues exist. Real ones. This is mtv nicki. Nicki sounds racist to me, if anything for them comments. Imagine a white person saying that towards a black person. Peace.
That thing with females with big booty was overdone by Redman way back when…she needs to be brought back to reality by telling her the video concept was wack
Yall don’t know why she she said what she said. You think she sounds racist but there could be way more meaning to what she said than race or an award. It takes a simple mind to make a simple conclusion.
nicki minaj had every right to play the race card . Black women greatly influence pop culture and never recieve their full props. Anaconda broke the vevo record, had like a billion memes, was the huge talk of the town, and mtv even wrote a bunch of articles about it. Anaconda deserved to be nominated for video of the the year , whether u like it or not it still deserved it.
Ayee I agree with you Ms Banks for the 1st time,the video was wack all it showed is some ass nothing more, I’m dating a skinny black chick so I don’t get her race argument.
If she aint got no ass you aint got shid – Weezy
I’m a skinny black woman and I am tired of the getting the you not sexy on less you have ass and lots of curves we cant all be made like that and we cant all afford it . Its wrong for you to hate on something you once were yourself . We should RESPECT all body types and let your character , drive, and personality speak for it self.
She has a point
The question is what is the usefulness of a big ass? I mean big titties you could slide your dick in and let her stroke it between them while licking the tip. But a big ass is useless unless you are into anal penetration. If so, that is on you.
