Nicki Minaj just made up with Taylor Swift at 2015 MTV Video Music Awards but she already made another enemy. In an unscripted moment, the rapper blasted the show's host Miley Cyrus for calling her "not too kind" in a recent interview.
Minaj received the Moonman trophy from Rebel Wilson for Best Hip Hop video for "Anaconda". She thanked her pastor and gave a shout-out to women who earn their own money but was not ready to get off the stage before poking on Cyrus.
"I wanna thank my beautiful fans. I love you so much. You guys are so epic and I hope you follow your dreams," Minaj said, adding "Back to this b***h that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good?" A dumbstruck Cyrus quickly answered, "Hey, we're all in this industry, we all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate s**t. Nicki, congratulations."
Minaj had the last laugh after going back to her seat. She tweeted, "Lmfaooooooooooooo".

— MTV (@MTV) August 31, 2015It all started when Cyrus was asked to comment on Minaj and Swift's online feud in The New York Times interview. "What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind," Cyrus said. "It's not very polite. I think there's a way you speak to people with openness and love. You don't have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn't even on what you wanted it to be about."
