The 2018 MTV VMAs aired Monday night and there never seems to be a dull moment, honestly. From Kanye and T-Swift to Miley Cyrus and a foam finger, you never know what you’ll see when major musical acts join together to win some awards. This year, as per usual, there was some shade thrown—but a clap back quickly followed so get ready, this story is wild.
Tiffany Haddish presented with Kevin Hart during the show and while giving her bit, she decided to call out Fifth Harmony—and not in a good way. “Camila Cabello is here nominated for 5 awards. So those of you watching at home… Hiiiiii Fifth Harmony!” Girl, what happened to women supporting women, huh?
Lauren Jauregui was just as confused as I am and took to Twitter to address the little jab at the girl group, who broke up not too long after losing Cabello as a member. “Waiting for the day when supporting one successful dope woman does not mean insult other successful dope women. There is energy and space for us all to beautifully coexist and bless the world with our individual truths, stories and talents,” Jauregui tweeted. Yes, Lo, you couldn’t be more correct.

We love a good clap back. Thankfully, it wasn’t the only one. Nicki Minaj had something to say at the awards show when she went up to get her award for Best Hip Hop. She was sure to mention one of 5H’s former members, Normani Kordei, who collabed with Minaj on her album, saying, “Don’t be coming for Fifth Harmony because Normani is that bitch!” LOL, Nicki is so easy to love. I’m glad someone stood up for the girls on their behalf right away.
Regardless of your opinions towards Fifth Harmony, you gotta admit the shade was a little harsh. We all should lift each other up and be there for support when others are succeeding in any way. I’m stoked for all the ladies in music killin’ it right now, you’re amazing.
