Hollywood rapper Nicki Minaj, who graces the cover of the latest issue of The New York Times magazine, has finally opened up about her verbal feud with Miley Cyrus. She has said that Cyrus has no idea about issues that affect black women.

“The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big b----,” Minaj told The New York Times magazine.

The hip-hop rapper pointed out that Cyrus appears in several videos, as well on stage, with black people, but she fails to acknowledge how they feel about what is important to them.

“Come on, you can’t want the good without the bad,” Minaj said. “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.”

Minaj versus Cyrus drama started after the former failed to score MTV VMAs’ Video of the Year nomination for “Anaconda.” On her Twitter feed, she suggested that she failed to win a nomination because she is a black, voluptuous artist. Swift, who won the award for “Bad Blood,” thought that Minaj’s comments were directed at her, and she responded on Twitter, saying that she has always supported Minaj. The two immediately buried the issue, but this year’s host of MTV VMAs, Cyrus, opened it again when she gave an interview to The New York Times.

Cyrus told NYT that Minaj was “jealous” and called her “not too kind.” She also called her comments “not very polite.”

Minaj got an opportunity to hit back at Cyrus when she went on the stage to accept the MTV VMAs’ trophy for best hip-hop video. During her acceptance speech, she called out on Cyrus for speaking against her in the press.
