 (a Miley Cyrus fan account) is currently going viral, with over 2.7 million views, 133k likes, 12k reposts, and hundreds of replies as of late January 2026.The main post shares a quote attributed to Miley Cyrus from a recent Variety magazine interview (2026). In it, Miley addresses her past tension with Nicki Minaj and directly criticizes Nicki's support for Donald Trump, framing it as hypocrisy.The quoted statement from Miley:
“Back in 2019 I was called “Perdue Chicken” by someone who thought misogyny was cute, now it’s 2026 and I’m here with three Grammys, my integrity intact, standing with the LGBTQ+ community instead of using them for clout or cozying up to politicians who harm them — growth is real, hypocrisy is loud.”
The poster adds their own caption calling Nicki Minaj a "Grammy loser & MAGA rapper" for supporting Trump.Context / Background:
  • The "Perdue Chicken" insult refers back to older drama (likely around 2015 VMAs or related interviews), where Nicki Minaj called Miley out publicly ("Miley, what's good?").
  • Miley highlights her own growth: winning three Grammys (presumably including wins tied to "Flowers" and later work), maintaining support for LGBTQ+ rights, and contrasting that with what she sees as Nicki's performative allyship (using the community for attention/clout) while aligning with Trump, whose policies many view as harmful to LGBTQ+ people.
  • The post includes two images (likely screenshots of the Variety quote or related photos of Miley).
Reactions in replies (general vibe from visible ones):
  • Many Miley fans are celebrating ("Miley ATE", "GAG IT MILEY", "drag her"), seeing it as a strong clapback.
  • Some defend Nicki or criticize Miley (calling her a "culture vulture" or saying she lacks dignity).
  • The fan account itself is using the buzz to promote Miley's music: replies include calls to stream her Grammy-nominated album Something Beautiful and mentions of upcoming projects like a Hannah Montana concert event.
  • Overall, it's heavily pro-Miley in the quoted thread, with some backlash from Nicki supporters or neutral observers.
This appears to be reigniting an old feud in a very 2026 political context (Trump support, MAGA references, post-2024/2025 election landscape). The Variety interview quote is being widely shared across platforms like Facebook too, so it's gaining traction beyond X.
