Nicki Minaj still has a lot to say about that VMAs moment.
The rapper addressed the now-iconic incident from this year's VMAs -- when she gave host Miley Cyrus a piece of her mind -- in an interview with the New York Times Magazine. Basically: Stuff got real.

"The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls," Minaj said, referring to Cyrus."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."
Later in the interview, Minaj also talked about the beef between Drake and Meek Mill, her boyfriend. Though she says both are "grown-ass men" -- and the fight is just between them -- she opened up about how it made her feel.
"I hate it," she said. "It doesn’t make me feel good. You don’t ever want to choose sides between people you love. It’s ridiculous. I just want it to be over."
The interview takes a turn from there, when the reporter asks if Minaj "thrives on drama." That question rubs the rapper the wrong way.
"That’s disrespectful," Minaj said. "Why would a grown-ass woman thrive off drama?"
It didn't end there.
"To put down a woman for something that men do, as if they’re children and I’m responsible, has nothing to do with you asking stupid questions, because you know that’s not just a stupid question," she says. "That’s a premeditated thing you just did."
She effectively ends the interview soon afterward, saying, "I don’t care to speak to you anymore."
