Since the BET Awards aired this past Sunday, several media outlets have covered Nicki Minaj's "shady" acceptance speech, with several reporting that she was taking shots at Iggy Azalea, accusing the first lady of Grand Hustle of having a ghostwriter.

Nicki took to Twitter this morning to address the controversy and explain exactly why she chose to call out rappers who don't write their own bars, particularly female MC's.

Minaj started off by saying that the media put words in her mouth and that the speech was about encouraging women writers, and that she loves women like Lauryn Hill & Missy Elliott because she knows they write their own material.

She then says that she's congratulated Iggy on her success publicly before, and that she should be very proud of herself, but that she will continue to motivate women to write.

Check out the tweets above. Did the media put words in her mouth about Iggy or is this a PR move? Sound off below.
