Fans of Nicki Minaj have speculated that a recent tweet could be a thinly-veiled dig at Miley Cyrus.
Miley has been dominating headlines over the last few months, and this week appeared in the video to producer Mike WiLL Made-It's new single '23'. On the actual song, she is heard trying out rapping for the first time.
Nicki's tweet had said: "Oh u rap now too?", followed by an Emoji of an exasperated face and one of a clenched fist.
While some fans seemed unsure of who she was indirectly talking about, others seemed sure she was taking aim at Miley.
"MILEY CYRUS SHADE OMG," wrote one excited fan, while another said matter-of-factly: "she's talking about Miley".
Other replies include "LMAOOOO MILEY" and "Miley Cyrus of course ... did u see her new collaboration?".
This week, body language expert Judi James spoke about Minaj in relation to an apparent need from a celebrity to grab more attention than their contemporaries. She was speaking following the 'Pound The Alarm' singer's nip slip incident in a daring jacket.
"We're supposed to go 'oh poor thing, my goodness, her nipple is falling out but hasnt she got great boobs'," she said. "Whereas really it was engineered, or even if it wasn't she's looked at it and gone 'I like the result of that, I'll put it out there myself."
Judi elaborated: "It's still part of this whole thing where celebrities want to be totally in control of what goes out about them, so they do it themselves. They do their own PR, they don't want to wait until they fall over or somebody sees a bit of toilet paper on their foot, which is what the press would be picking out. They create their own Accident Shots, but of course they're accident on purpose.
"Particularly with these female singers... they're raising the bar to who can be the most shocking, who can do the most edgy thing. If they do it on a photo shoot it looks a bit too obvious, so if they do it accidentlaly on purpose then they accidentally become the daring star of that week. but they can then take it back and say, 'well I didn't know that was gonna go out there'. it's like the sex tapes, isn't it?"
