Nicki Minaj sparked another wave of backlash when she called out Miley Cyrus at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.

During her acceptance speech for Best Hip Hop Video, she confronted the "Flowers" hitmaker, who was hosting the awards show."And now back to this b---- that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press - Miley, what's good?" she said on stage.

Before the event, Cyrus told The New York Times the rapper was "not too kind" amid her feud with Taylor Swift."It's not very polite. I think there's a way you speak to people with openness and love," she added. "You don't have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn't even on what you wanted it to be about. Now you've just given E! News 'Catfight! Taylor and Nicki Go at It.'"

Minaj kept herself firmly in the spotlight for the wrong reasons when she delivered a performance that depicted exorcism at the 2012 Grammy Awards.

In response to the rapper's bizarre Grammy number, Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, asked whether the Recording Academy would have allowed a performance that disparages other religions."It's bad enough that Catholics have to fight for their rights vis-a-vis a hostile administration in Washington without also having to fend off attacks in the entertainment industry," he wrote. "The net effect, however, will only embolden Catholics, as well as their friends in other faith communities."At the time, Minaj also walked the red carpet with an older man dressed as a Catholic bishop.

For years, Minaj has repeatedly dissed the Recording Academy over the nominations, snubs and changes to award categories.

She called out the award-giving body in 2020, eight years after her Best New Artist snub."Never forget the Grammys didn't give me my best new artist award when I had 7 songs simultaneously charting on Billboard & bigger first week than any female rapper in the last decade-went on to inspire a generation," she wrote. "They gave it to the white man Bon Iver. #PinkFriday."Two years later, she criticized the category change after her single "Super Freaky Girl" was moved to the pop category, where it had "less of a chance" to win.

Then, in 2025, she returned the snub to the Recording Academy by turning down a board offer.
