Miley Cyrus' current Bangerz tour is attracting attention for all the wrong reasons - first for the singer's explicit stage antics, and now the shows have come under fire for 'racism' issues.
Cyrus hás come under criticism for using both black backing dancers and little people in her shows, but the singer has laughed off claims she is degrading anyone, saying racism claims are ridiculous.
"It's really funny how serious people take it. And they're like, you're racist. And I'm like, 'Really?'", she tells MSNBC. "It's like, literally, we're just a bunch of kids dancing around in bears. We don't have choreography... They're awesome dancers on their own; it's not me telling them how to be."
Speaking of her 'little people' backing dancers, she claims: "We're making them feel sexual and beautiful."
The singer previously took to Twitter to vent her frustrations, after shocked parents were reportedly outraged at the explicit antic taking place during her shows, saying she had been hurt by the criticism of her shows.
"I don't think people realise how much energy I put into my shows & how much their bad energy brings me down," she tweeted.
