Today, Nicki Minaj celebrates her 33rd birthday and we love her not only for her prowess on the mic and talents as an entertainer in general, but also for the fact that she is not afraid to tell it like it is. Whether she’s throwing a little shade or outright dragging someone for getting out of pocket, Nicki is a woman who will not hesitate to keep it 100 when it comes to her feelings.
To the folks in charge of the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards
After Minaj posted those controversial VMAs tweets, Swift took to the social media outlet to add her two cents as she felt Minaj was specifically addressing her. “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot,” she wrote. Minaj quickly responded to Swift to let her know she was not referring to her. “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.” The pair later made up and performed together at the VMAs.
When Minaj hit the stage to accept her award for Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2015 MTV VMAs, she used her platform to address the beef between her and Miley Cyrus. Cyrus had spoken about Minaj’s critique of the VMAs for overlooking black female artists, saying she didn’t appreciate Minaj’s tone speaking on the issue. Cyrus told the New York Times, “If you do things with an open heart and you come at things with love, you would be heard and I would respect your statement. But I don’t respect your statement because of the anger that came with it.” Minaj obviously wasn’t going to let it slide and called Cyrus out onstage during the show. “And now, back to this b**** that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press,“ Minaj said before uttering the words that will live on in VMA history. "Miley, what’s good?” Cyrus attempted to justify her statements by saying her words were misconstrued by the reporter, but Minaj wasn’t having it. “Don’t play with me b****,” she warned.
On the track “Want Some More” off her Pinkprint album, Minaj was pretty clear about her intentions to throw shade at hatin’ dudes who can’t seem to cope with her success. “I’m in this bitch, I’m getting money/ One minute they hate me then they love me/ Ain’t got nothing for me, these dudes is funny/ That’s why I’m throwing shade like it’s sunny/ Who had Eminem on the first album?/ Who had Kanye saying “She a problem”?/ Who the f**k came in the game made her own column?/ Who made Lil Wayne give ‘em five million?/ Why the f**k I gotta say it, though?/ You n****s don’t know it yet?”
During her performance of the “***Flawless Remix” at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival, the rapper’s music unexpectedly cut out. Minaj politely asked the crew “You guys, is there a problem in the back? ’Cause I can do it acapella,” she said before proceeding to nail her verse sans background music to a delighted crowd. Badass!

In that same interview with T magazine, Minaj talked about why she thought Miley was out of line tone-policing her comments on the VMA nominations. “The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls. 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.’’
