Miley Cyrus says that she did not agree with Nicki Minaj’s frustration about “Anaconda” not being nominated for Video Of The Year at the VMAs.
“Not that this is jealousy, but jealousy does the opposite of what you want it to — that’s a yoga mantra,” Miley Cyrus says during an interview with The New York Times. “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.”
Last month, Nicki Minaj, who is scheduled to Open the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday (August 30), expressed disappointment with her snub.
“When the ‘other’ girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination,’ she wrote on Twitter at the time.
“If I was a different ‘kind’ of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well,” Nicki Minaj also wrote.
The comments were commonly interpreted to mean that no women of color were nominated.
Cyrus says that Nicki Minaj went about her criticism the wrong way.
“If you want to make it about race, there’s a way you could do that,” Cyrus says to The New York Times. “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’…What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It’s not very polite. I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love.”
For additional Nicki Minaj coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
White girl, who cares what you say. Say it to her face. You are not Nicki so SHUT UP ATTENTION SEEKER, if you even said this.
People care enough to ask her…
Racist Black girl/boy, who cares what you think… Don’t say you aren’t racist, because you say white girl before saying a white person’s opinion is useless.
Won’t say it to her face? Guess you assume all black folks scare all white folks? But you know, you could stop perpetuating the “all blacks are violent” narrative that So many call whites racist for, even though Whites don’t spread it, people like you do.
(So sick of people like you making the rest of us look bad)
Lemme guess you some black girl actin big n bad cute internet gangsta Miley’s right your dumb suck a dick n cry about Who you think ya baby daddy is
whoa both of yall chill. dont act like miley isnt on nickis level of fame and no need for that type of shit on a hiphop site
What in the FUCK does Miley know about being black?
…not really sure where exactly the “diss” was : /
right, she just voiced an opinion. Blog posts stay trolling
I agree with Miley as far as they way ones feelings should be expressed and not to always make it about race (yes I’m black) It’s not a race thing. Why should have this video of nicki been nominated? She was half naked shaking her butt. The song had no meaningful message. I’m not saying that Miley’s music does either but let’s nominate talent! I’m a huge nicki fan, just not of this song
For real face it Nicki it’s bout over for her career yo five years over they find somebody to replace u the white people tried of hear from u its petty wap turn. First nelly then the black eye peas Nicki and now petty wap and miley Cyrus can go chew some dick since she like using that tongue
Nicki’s video and song was a play off (sample) from the original. Why should she get an award or nomination for 1/2 of someone else’s work? It also wasn’t anything special: not the video, lyric, or choreography.
Miley gets on my nerves (at least the current money from 2012-2015) but she is spot on here.
And to Shone below… What the fuck did miley say that gives the impression she thinks she knows what it’s like to be black? Nothing. She said if you want to make it about race, then go about it in the right way, instead of throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler about unfairness.
Got to love how unfair life is for these women/black/gay “victims” who are rich and famous! When life is better for you than 90% of the people you complain about (be it whites,men,straight), then you should shut your mouth and let the ones who have it hard speak. Nicki has it great compared to most people, white, black, and brown, but she still cries wolf/”victim” and it’s ridiculous.
First Time I’m Hearing Something Good From This Bitch,i’m Beginning To Like This Bitch,who The Fuck Does Nicki Thinks She Is Anyway,theres Nothing Good About Anaconda,its Wack,its Fake Ass,its One Of The Worst Music I’ve Watched And To Be Truthful,i Didnt Even Finish Watching The Video When I First Saw It,fuck Minaj And Her Nudity Agenda,fuck Miley Too
everytime a black artist dont get their way they try to bring race into the mix to bring attention to themsevles. its sad. step your music game up. thats all.
Shut up stupid u can tell u don’t know nothin wit that weak ass comment
As a black person I think Nicki is a whiny self involved psycho who uses the race card like a metro card, but to say that black people are always complaining unjustly about race is asinine.
Also to tell black to “step your music game up” when they have created or laid the framework for every form of popular music today from pop, to rock, dubstep, electronic, garage, to disco and even the damned tango is like…yeah ure an idiot.
@my god- you started the tango and pop? lol ok. pop means popular music. you cant start popular music. singing isnt of any color really. and thats great bc white ppl started alot of great musics too..
but i said IN MUSIC. i didnt say in real life. these millionaires fucking crying bc they dont get nominated or awards and bring race into it is SAD!
yea nikki acting like there was real great choreography and concept to the video that made it big. Reality check it was simply cuz of how she dressed and shook her ass. And lets not try claiming the song was lyrically great either you BARBZ ok lol
i didnt see any choreographing i just saw chics twerking, and the lyrical content was below average.
Miley Cyrus is a typical white bitch. these white hoes be gettin shit they dont deserve everyday nicki minaj (a black hoe) doesn’t deserve no more awards she suck dick just like miley. both of these bitches are trash. the girl signed to TDE that nobody knows is better than both of them.
Another crybaby ni 99er
You’re so special
Good talk pimp…fuck you god,your comment shows how stupid your bitch ass is,I think you are nicki+miley in their most stupid bitch ass state…now I understand the macklemore/kendrick saga was bias and ummm somewhat racist,but miley/nicki,o please nicki shut the fuck up…
Nicki is salty. Unfortunately it works both ways in this world where we still see color. She talks about being snubbed due to her skin color but do you think people would even know who she was if she had different pigment. Nah.
The racist comments here support Nicki Minajs statements pretty perfectly.
how do you vote down articles and writers? most of your writing staff is corny but this dude takes the cake. fuck hhdx
HiphopDx & theres a story on Miley Cyrus?! Wtf happen to u guys
This site has fallen the fuck off. It’s sad.
Why listen to these hacks, stick wit NWA! Real Music!
I heard vanilla ice ripoff (macklebitch) is ripping off uptown funk for his new song, downtown
There are far more important issues in this world. At the end of the day, color is just culture, not a card for stereotypes or assumptions. We all bleed and breathe the same. Grow up! If history proved anything, it proved that everybody had some level of ignorance. 😉 #carryon
Macklemore tries to act black in downtown.
We don’t breathe the same if we have pneumonia
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this is what bothers me, jus BC someone states how they feel, why do it have to be presumed as being jealous, angry or not kind? Every statement doesn’t need a reply, ijs
She’s right for once.
i remember when i was young and stupid,hannah montana was a legend,now she’s just another white bitch
Nicki acts like people can’t have a opinion get out here so what i said the thing about her funky she got mad because she wasn’t nominated news flash not everybody likes you your not even average b**** instead of spending money on a** & boobs you should’ve spent it on your face & eyes you nack to future lil kim reject nor you or kermit the frog are hot you need to go into the closet with romen whatever the f*** your alter egos name is & take meek charoal with you what b**** you aren’t Barbie & he sure is f*** won’t ever ever ever be Ken this my opinion miley handle herself well nicki is full of a** & nuts anyway you said yourself nicki you like cake beeeeeeeyotch.
Sorry letters and word weren’t there when written just saw this wth
