On Miley Cyrus: 'You have some big balls'

Heading into the MTV awards, Minajvoiced complaints on social media about her track Anaconda failingto earn a nod for the top prize (but was considered for best female video and best hip-hopvideo). Her Twitter posts, which suggested race was at the heart of the issue, embroiled first fellow nominee Taylor Swift and then Cyrus, who hosted this year's event.

''The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls," she told the Times, referencing Cyrus.

"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?"

"They're men, grown-ass men. It's between them.I hate it. It doesn't make me feel good," Minaj told the Times.

"You don't ever want to choose sides between people you love. It's ridiculous. I just want it to be over."

Vanessa Grigoriadis, the reporter behind the feature article, then admits she used poor wording when -- after also discussing other fieryconflicts at Minaj'srecord label (involving lawsuits and federal indictments) -- sheasked the rap star if she "thrives on drama."

An offendedMinajquickly shut down the interview shortly after.

"Four grown-ass men are having issues between themselves, and you're asking me do I thrive off drama?'' she responded.

Referring to Grigoriadisas "a troublemaker', she concluded:"Do not speak to me like I'm stupid or beneath you in any way. I don't care to speak to you anymore."
