Nicki Minaj still has beef with Miley

Los Angeles - Nicki Minaj thinks Miley Cyrus was disrespectful to her at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The Anaconda rapper branded the Wrecking Ball singer a "bitch" at the MTV VMAs and challenged her use of African/American culture to promote her pop career.

Nicki thinks Miley is wrong to embrace black culture but not be prepared to concern herself with what "bothers" people of colour.

Discussing her remarks at the VMAs, Nicki told the New York Times newspaper: "I saw Miley just looking at me, with her face screwed up, and I thought, 'What the?'

"The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls.

"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."
