In her hit single "Party in the U.S.A.," Miley Cyrus famously claims that a Jay-Z song saved her life (or at least made her taxi ride from LAX bearable). But which one of Hov's hits is she singing about?

Turns out, she doesn't know. Because she's never actually heard a Jay-Z song.

That's what we learned in a new interview posted on Cyrus' MileyWorld Web site, in which the singer - who, it should be noted, is dressed like Pocahontas (it was backstage, before her Halloween concert in Louisville, Kentucky) - was asked by a reporter which Jay-Z tune inspired the line in "Party." And, well, let's just say she answered his question honestly.

"I don't know, I didn't write the song, so I have no idea," she said. "Honestly, I picked that song because I needed something to go with my clothing line. I didn't write it [and] I didn't expect it to be popular, originally. It was just something that I wanted to do and I needed some songs and it turned out for the best."

She's correct, she didn't write "Party" (a songwriting team of Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly and Jessica Cornish did), but surely - as the rather dumbfounded reporter asked in his follow-up - she can agree with the song's sentiment. She's got to be a Jay-Z fan, right?

"I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music," Cyrus answered. "['Party in the U.S.A.'] is not even my style of music. I'm really blessed for it to have done as well as it has. Totally blessed. God has definitely put me in an amazing position with amazing people."

Undoubtedly reeling from the magnitude of that claim, the reporter decided to shift gears, jokingly asking Cyrus if she has any plans to cover her father's massive 1992 hit "Achy Breaky Heart." But Miley wasn't ready to let the Jay-Z thing drop.

"No, no thank you," she said. "That's like covering a Jay-Z song. That's not going to happen."

If this is real.....

Just read whats in bold.

Is she really that stupid?

Does she not know that Jay-Z is a john teshing legend?
She says she doesn't listen to pop?
WTF. THATS THE john teshING MUSIIC GENRE SHE SINGS!

Uh, who hasn't heard a Jay-Z song?
This dude is a freaking legend.
He beats Elvis for having the most #1 albums. (Jay-Z has 11 #1 Albums now. The Beatles has 19)

"I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music," Cyrus answered.

lolll pop music? roffll.. well at least she was honest about not writing the song.
the song is catchy anyways. it makes you want to groove your booty off

[je_amourx]

America put too much effort on hating her ... for [any] reason.

Not a fan of her but, COME ON NOW!

^ Total win

[tirahbunny]

lol what's the big deal? I don't listen to Jay-Z either!



Miley is still...Miley so none of this surprises me.

[who8myoreos]

so....basically: "I don't have any passion in what I do, I'm in it for the fame and money". I don't get why people like her. She's not even that hot.

[Ani:D]

yeah... so? haha

great! now people have another thing to add to their list of "why i dislike miley cyrus" pathetic.

[mofo]

jay z should be pissed that miley called his music pop.

[GreenTeaBanana]

people should really stop hating on Miley. she's like what? 16?

and the only time I've ever heard JayZ sing was in Rihanna's umbrella. yes JayZ is a big legend. doesnt mean everyone's heard of him or necessarily listens to him

[angelixers]

She's not an idiot for not listening to Jay-Z, she's just stupid for not changing the line in that song. I always find that tacky about singers who sing songs penned by someone else. If you don't know about it, then don't refer to it. She's also silly for referring to Jay as pop. Then what does she listen to? Country music? Jay is as pop as country is. That's all. Let's not go down the 'ugh, let's bash Miley' route.

[candysami0708]

lol. She doesn't listen to pop music?! lmao. but she makes pop songs...right???
It's okay if she doesn't listens to Jay-Z, not everyone do but sheesh this girls just
needs to know when to shut up. she shouldn't have said the last line

P.S:last time i checked Jay-Z was in the hiphop genre.lol.

[mintcracker]

Wowl she sounds really stupid. But hey, not surprised. Had been a fact for like the past two years lol.

[shortboy]

I don't usually like Miley Cyrus but I don't really see anything wrong with this interview. She probably defines music differently and more than likely considers her music to be more country while considering rap/hiphop as pop

[sunnyside]

yup, I believe that's the idiotic Miley. I believe that she did say something like that, because I have seen a youtube video where she said something like, "not that pop crap." And in like this Today news show where she sang "Party in the USA" outside. She told the interviewee that she doesn't really like singing these kinds of song.

Does that mean she hated every single song she sang for Hannah Montana?

I hate it the most when the singer doesn't like what they're singing. I don't like watching someone perform when they don't even enjoy what they sing. Why should I enjoy it when the singer doesn't even enjoy it.

She thinks she's too good for it, huh?
FYI miley, you look like a poser singing rock.
