Miley Cyrus is the biggest feminist in the world, according to herself: 'Wrecking Ball' singer tells women 'not to be scared of anything' in new interview

Miley Cyrus has made a big claim for herself and equality. In a recent interview, the "Wrecking Ball" singer claimed to be one of the "biggest feminists in the world."

Cyrus recently sat down with the BBC, in which she claimed that she's out to empower women and make them to make their own decisions. "I feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women not to be scared of anything," she said.

Cyrus has actually come under fire from feminist groups in recent months due to her appropriation of African-American culture and black women in her stage act. Other, including Sinead O'Connor, have slammed the singer for using her overt sexuality in order to sell records. Of course, Cyrus is best known these days for being naked in the music video for "Wrecking Ball" and twerking all up on Robin Thicke's junk at the 2013 MTV VMAs.

Despite those criticisms, Cyrus claimed that there is nothing wrong with the way she expresses herself when in line with feminism. "There's absolutely no contradiction at all between being a feminist and taking your clothes off and being comfortable about displaying your sexuality," she explained. "I'm for anybody and anything. I don't care what you want to do, what you want to look like."

That's exactly what Cyrus has been doing lately, and the controversial antics have been working in her favor. Love her or hate her, her new album Bangerz debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 upon its debut, selling 268,000 copies in its first week. Additionally, that song's second single "Wrecking Ball" topped the Hot 100 for two weeks.
