Nicki Minaj goes off on Miley Cryus, again, in New York Times Magazine. Although many of us have moved past her and Cyrus’ beef, YMCMB’s first lady took it upon herself to remind us it’s nothing but bad blood between the pop stars. “The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects Black women makes me feel like you have some big balls,” the musician said in the mag’s culture issue.
Minaj originally called Cyrus out at the 2015 VMAs after she caught wind of the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s comments regarding race and her video of the year snub to The New York Times.
“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..” she continued.
If you ask us, this feud is far from over and Minaj is not backing down. She even slammed her interviewer, calling her “rude” and a “troublemaker.” Like most stars, the “Anaconda” rapper turned to Twitter to air her feelings. Nevertheless, Minaj is proud of her latest cover. So much, in fact, that she shared it via Instagram while referencing Tupac Shakur, the last rapper to grace the coveted cover. Unfortunately, a simple spelling error made Minaj’s humble nod to the late hip hop artist the butt of everyone’s joke.

Yes, that’s right. Minaj accidentally called Pac a “raper.” An error Black Twitter was quick to blast. “Who you raping,” one user asked. “Girl you’re a rapper. Not a raper!! LMFAO,” another tweeted. “NICKI FIX THIS OMG,” a Twitter user responded. Apparently, enough users called her out for it because later, she edited the caption to read correctly and acknowledged it in a tweet.
