About this episode

The 2015 VMAs sparked a feud for the ages when Nicki Minaj coined an instantly iconic phrase for Miley Cyrus on stage: "Miley, what's good?" Miley's defensive response about manipulated interviews opened the floodgates, sending us all the way back to the wild west of early 2010s pop culture. In this episode, we'll unravel Nicki and Miley's thorny history leading up to that heated confrontation - from subtweets and shady interviews to photoshopped avatars and a bizarre reference to "purdue chicken."
