Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj proved the only “Bad Blood” these singers share is lyrical. The pair totally rocked the stage and proved they have absolutely NO “Bad Blood” between them anymore! That was Sunday night’s MTV Video Awards, hosted by Cyrus in an endless parade of revealing outfits and nonstop drug references.
And she made sure to let Miley know during the awards Sunday night. Nicki Minaj called out show host Miley Cyrus after the 22-year-old said in an interview that the rapper was being a poor sport about not receiving a nomination for video of the year. “I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love”. The night kicked off with a star-studded VMAs pre-show that featured Walk the Moon performing their hit “Shut Up and Dance” and Jonas singing his new single “Levels”. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn’t even on what you wanted it to be about. “Just worry about how you feel, and don’t never…”
“This is a new mentality, we’re not going to control our kids with brands. And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president”, read an excerpt from his long speech. She said: “I’m not trying to be in the squad”.
“I think, ‘If I had to do it all again, what would I have done?'” mused West, while accepting the annual VMA for overall excellence in music videos.
So why did Nicki have her panties in a bunch?
“Thank you very much. You guys are so epic and I hope you follow your dreams”.
Cyrus, who made MTV award history two years ago by twerking on stage with Robin Thicke in a flesh-colored bikini and cavorting around with a foam finger kept her response civil. But according to Cyrus, Nicki’s comments were not so kind.
When Cyrus returned to the stage, she responded, “We all do interviews, and we all know how they can be manipulated. Nicki, congratu-f**kin-lations”.
Despite the on-air confrontation drawing gasps from millions of fans, some viewers have suggested that their apparent beef may have all been staged to boost ratings with some noting that Minaj flashed a smile before the camera turned to Cyrus.
