Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus Feud: Taylor Swift Defends ‘Anaconda’ Singer
Taylor Swift is reportedly on Team Nicki.
A HollywoodLife.com article claimed that the "Bad Blood" singer has defended Nicki Minaj, who called out Miley Cyrus during the Video Music Awards this past Sunday. While accepting the Best Hip-Hop Video Award, Minaj, 32, said, "Back to this b**** that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press, Miley what's good?"
Cyrus had commented about the tweets that Minaj posted in regards to not being nominated for the Video of the Year award. The 22-year-old "Adore You" singer said that Minaj's tweets were "not very polite."
"Taylor doesn't want to pick sides, but she does support Nicki 100 percent," the insider said. "She doesn't think Nicki was bullying Miley. The whole incident in Taylor's opinion has been blown out of proportion. She thinks Nicki has a big heart and is often misunderstood."
The source added, "As far as Miley is concerned, Taylor thinks she's a tough cookie and can fend for herself."
Drake, on the other hand, is team Miley.
"Other women would have fallen back when Nicki tried to chin check Miley at the show, but what did Miley do? She took two steps forward and was like 'what b***h?'" another insider added. "Drake loves that kind of spirit. That no fear type of woman."
In another HollywoodLife.com article, a source stated that Cyrus is not afraid of Minaj and is not planning on apologizing any time soon.
"Miley's not looking for any trouble but if it comes her way then she'll deal with it accordingly. She's not scared of Nicki!" the source said. "Miley's basically grown up in this industry and has been fighting bigger and more powerful people and bullies like Nicki for a long time. And if Nicki thinks Miley's going to apologize to her or attempt to censor what comes out her mouth, Nicki's got another thing coming."
Minaj and Cyrus have not commented about what happened at the VMAs.
