Nicki Minaj is a fan of Miley Cyrus and she isn’t afraid to show it. The “Super Bass” rapper praised 20 year old Cyrus’ new look during a Fourth of July event in New York City.
The former American Idol judge said of the “We Can’t Stop” singer, "She looks very sexy and sassy in her new video. I love it! I love her new look, she is really all grown up. I love that she cut her hair. Some people were iffy that she cut it but I love people that have the balls to do whatever they want."
When E! News asked her about comments Cyrus recently made about her in which she said Minaj was one of her biggest inspirations, the rapper really appreciated the compliment.
"OMG! Miley is sooooo cute and every time I see her I say again and again that she is so damn cute and down to earth. I really love her," she said. "What a compliment that was to me. I really love her back. Thanks Miley!"
Last month, Cyrus told Billboard that she counts Minaj as one of her top 5 inspirations.
She also noted "A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj. That's not what I'm trying to do. I love 'hood' music, but my talent is as a singer."
