Chance the Rapper has had enough of Miley Cyrus.
The rapper did not attend the 2015 MTV VMAs, hosted by Cyrus -- but he did have a few thoughts about the awards show. Earlier in the night, he tweeted about how he (and Rihanna) weren't going to the show, particularly because "Bitch Better Have My Money" and the track "Sunday Candy" was snubbed.

But it turns out Chance was watching the broadcast -- at least, long enough to tweet out some thoughts about how the show was going. He was definitely not feeling the skits...

... or the fake dreadlocks Cyrus wore throughout the show.

But it was Cyrus's use of the word "mammy," during a sketch about eating a weed brownie made by Snoop Dog, that really rubbed Chance (and many, many) other people the wrong way.

He sent out another tweet soon after, adding some historical context to Cyrus's use of "mammy" -- a racially-charged term about black women used in the Antebellum south.

Others, like MSNBC's Janet Mock and author Roxane Gay, tweeted about the usage of the word as well.
Soooo @MTV does anti-racism PSAs but lets white girls wear dreads, say "mammy", and make police brutality jokes? :////— Amanda (@itsamandaross) August 31, 2015
Wait, did Miley say "Mammy"?— Goldie Taylor (@goldietaylor) August 31, 2015
Miley...before she left for tonight's #VMAs where she evoked #Mammy for the masses. http://t.co/DoPizjlGOv— Janet Mock (@janetmock) August 31, 2015
