Nicki Minaj SLAMS Miley Cyrus At The VMAs

Nicki Minaj's VMA acceptance speech took an unexpected turn when the rapper hit out at host Miley Cyrus in spectacular fashion.

After collecting best hip-hop video for Anaconda, Minaj went on to slam theWrecking Ball singer, who had criticised her in a interview prior to the award show.

"And now back to this b**** that had a lot to say about me in the press," she said, adding, staring at Cyrus from across the stage and angrily saying: "Miley? What's good?"

Cyrus looked visably rattled by the attack and tried to smooth things over by responding: "We're all in this industry, we all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate... Nicki, congratulations".
