Miley Cyrus claims she's never heard a Jay-Z song despite lyrics in her hit single 'Party In the USA

Miley Cyrus' hit single, "Party In The USA" is ranked number five this week on Billboard's Hot 100.  And despite making everyone believe that she party's to Jay-Z and Britney Spears' music, as her lyrics claim, Cyrus recently admitted she has never even heard a Jay-Z song.  To make matters worse the Pop Icon went on to disclose that she doesn't listen to Pop Music or particularly even like it.

The interview with Cyrus took place last week prior to her Halloween concert in Louisville and was later posted on MileyWorld.com.  When she was asked by the interviewer what specific Jay-Z song inspired the line in "Party In The USA" in which a Jay-Z song plays on the radio she responded quite frankly stating: "I don't know, I didn't write the song, so I have no idea. 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."

But her answer to the question that followed is what most find simply stunning.  When asked if she was a Jay-Z fan and could at least identify with the lyrics she boldly proclaimed, "I've never heard a Jay-Z song. I don't listen to pop music. '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."

This interview and Cyrus' blunt honesty leaves her fans reeling in confusion and stirs controversy for the Disney star yet once again.
