The Video Music Awards might have happened earlier this week, but there as still several gems that we can’t get over.

Nicki Minaj might have stole the show with her acceptance speech, but it looks like that same energy was going down on the red carpet well before the show was underway.

Although Minaj has a relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner clan, the Queen rapper put Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend on blast this week and Kylie wanted no parts of the Nicki drama in New York.

TMZ caught both female moguls walking the VMA’s carpet and as soon as Jenner sees Minaj, she books it not he other direction. In the exclusive video, Jenner stops midway down the carpet and turns to her team and immediately changes her course.

Looks like Kylie was not about the smoke.
