“And now, back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me in the press,” Minaj said after accepting her award for Hip-Hop Video of the Year. “Miley, what’s good?”
While Cyrus kept her cool during the surprise moment — “We’re all in this industry. We all do interviews. We know how they all manipulate,” she said — EW has learned it was a different story once the cameras turned off.
“Miley stormed off stage cursing in anger after that moment,” an observer tells EW.
In the minutes following Minaj and Cyrus’ on-air tussle, Minaj took to Twitter to seemingly react to the moment. But was it scripted? A source told EW on Sunday that incident was not staged.
