Kylie Jenner attends the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on August 20, 2018 in New York City.

Kylie Jenner dodged Nicki Minaj on the red carpet.

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner were expected to sit behind Nicki Minaj at the VMA's before they managed to get their seats moved next to Cardi B. Despite their attempt to move from Nicki, Kylie almost had a bit of a run-in with the Queen herself.

In footage that TMZ obtained, Kylie Jenner and her team make a quick turn around after they saw Nicki Minaj during the VMA red carpet on Monday night. Nicki Minaj is seen first making her entrance onto the carpet while fans scream her name. Jenner then unknowingly walks in Nicki Minaj's direction before they doubled back and avoided a possible confrontation. Probably a good move on her part but we can't help but be curious as to what would happen if they were face to face after this past weekend's drama.

Kylie Jenner and Stormi were dragged into Nicki Minaj's tirade against Travis Scott's Billboard performance over the weekend. On Saturday, she called out Travis Scott for using tour and merch bundles to sell albums which ultimately helped him top the Billboard 200 for a second week in a row, putting Nicki Minaj's Queen at number 2. Kylie Jenner posted the tour announcement on her Instagram and said she'd be bringing Stormi on tour as well which Nicki seemed to believe played in a part why her album went number 2. She later clarified that she has love for Kylie and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan but her gripe was mainly because Travis Scott's merch counted towards his album sales.
