2015 MTV VMAs Recap: Nicki Minaj Calls Out Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber Cries and Kanye West Announces 2020 Presidential Campaign [Watch]
Pop star Miley Cyrus hosted the 2015 MTV Video Music Award (VMA) show at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Cyrus, 22, didn't disappoint to entertain with her barely-there costumes and weed-inspired skits, one of which included Snoop Dogg, 43.
Nicki Minaj, 32, kicked off the VMAs with her performances of "Trini Dem Girls" and "The Night Is Still Young," and closed with Taylor Swift, 25, joining her on stage to sing Swift's hit "Bad Blood." It seems the two have reconciled since last month when Swift clumsily inserted herself in Minaj's Twitter rant about discrimination in the VMA nominations.
While accepting the "Best Hip Hop Video" award from Rebel Wilson, Minaj surprised everyone when she called out Cyrus for allegedly dissing her in a recent interview.
"And now... back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press," the "Anaconda" singer said. "Miley, what's good?"
In a pre-VMA interview with the New York Times, Cyrus had said that Minaj's brief Twitter feud with Swift was "jealous" and "disrespectful."
The "Wrecking Ball" singer responded by blaming the reporter.
"Hey, we're all in this industry, we all do interviews, and we all know how they manipulate sh*t. Nicki, congratulations," Cyrus said.
Watch the video clip to see the shocking moment.
Justin Bieber, 21, gave a remarkable comeback performance with his new hit "What Do You Mean?" and "Where Are Ü Now." At the end, he broke down in tears as the audience gave him a standing ovation.
Kanye West gave a long-winded acceptance speech when he received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award, touching on everything from his iconic "I'mma gonna let you finish" moment to his beef with different award shows. Yeezy wrapped up the speech declaring he'd run for president in 2020.
