*Nicki Minaj says she has no idea why people are accusing her of throwing shade at Jennifer Lopez’s opening dance montage to 2015’s biggest hits at Sunday’s “American Music Awards.”
Maybe it’s because the camera zoomed in on the rapper looking rather bemused when J. Lo busted out her booty-centric moves to “Anaconda.”
After Twitter began tweeting about Minaj’s reaction…
Damn J Lo……. Nicki Minaj facial expression says it all… We still love u doe pic.twitter.com/KPJaUUpmpE

Minaj responded, saying she wasn’t throwing shade at Lopez. She was simply “looking at my own face on the screen.”
lol says what all? I’m looking at my own face on the screen when I’m looking to the right. I turn Bak & look @ her ? https://t.co/39JXJbesEW — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) November 23, 2015
Minaj went on to win Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Album for “The Pinkprint,” beating out J. Cole for “2014 Forest Hills Drive” and Drake’s album “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.”
But folks couldn’t let the side-eye go:
The high point of the #AMAs so far has been the reaction shots of Nicki Minaj. Has anyone ever looked so bored at an awards show?
