The 24-year-old songstress took to Instagram where she clarified her comments.
"... To be clear I respect ALL artists who speak their truth and appreciate ALL genres of music (country, pop, alternative... But in this particular interview I was asked about rap) I have always and will continue to love and celebrate hip hop as I've collaborated with some of the very best!" wrote Miley.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer called out media outlets for focusing on "the most sensationalised part of the conversation" to grab more eyeballs.
