WATCH: Nicki Minaj insults Miley Cyrus live on stage at the MTV VMAs
In front of millions of viewers
The ever-fiery Nicki Minaj used her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech to slam host Miley Cyrus on Sunday night.
Nicki was accepting her honour for best hip-hop video for ‘Anaconda’ when she turned on Miley who was standing nearby.
Clearly irate, Nicki blasted: “And now back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press – Miley, what’s good?”
In response, Miley said: “Nicki, congratulations. We’re all in this industry and we all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate s***.”
Perhaps attempting to rile Nicki even further, Miley then said “Nicki, congratu-f***ing-lations” to which Nicki scowled.
Nicki’s comments were a direct reaction to an interview Miley conducted with The New York Times last week where she talked about the very public Twitter feud between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.
Miley said that slamming Taylor Swift for being nominated for the prestigious Video of the Year ahead of Miley “wasn’t very nice.”
Elsewhere at the MTV Video Music Awards, lifetime achievement award winner Kanye West revealed he wanted to run for President and Taylor Swift dominated the winners with four prestigious nods.
