Nicki Minaj has the whole world talking about her controversial Grammy performance of her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded banger “Roman Holiday.”
DETAILS: Why Nicki Minaj’s Performance Was Beyonce Brilliant, Yet So Insane!
Nicki stopped by Ryan Seacrest’s radio show to talk about her buzzworthy Grammy performance, Madonna’s influence on her life, and M.I.A’s middle finger Super Bowl stunt.
What Nicki didn’t discuss with Ryan was the call of action propelled by The Catholic church to boycott CBS for her sacrilegious “Roman Holiday” performance.
DETAILS: ROMAN BACKLASH! The Catholic Church Wasn’t Amused By Nicki Minaj’s Grammy Performance!
But don’t worry, Nicki let the whole world know how she felt when she hopped on her Twitter.
Find out what all Nicki had to say about the Grammys, Super Bowl, and The Catholic church below!
On attending the Grammys with a Pope look-alike: “The religious figure is there because he was called on by Roman’s mom to rehabilitate him.”
On her interesting Grammy performance of “Roman Holiday”: “I had this vision for him to be sort of exorcised—or actually he never gets exorcised—but people around him tell him he’s not good enough because he’s not normal, he’s not blending in with the average Joe. And so his mother is scared and the people around him are afraid because they’ve never seen anything like him. He wanted to show that not only is he amazing and he’s sure of himself and confident, but he’s never gonna change, he’s never gonna be exorcised. Even when they throw the holy water on him, he still rises above.”
On the Catholic Church controversy surrounding her “Roman Holiday” performance, Nicki tweeted:
On M.I.A.’s middle finger Super Bowl stunt: “My first feeling was disappointment, only because of my respect for Madonna. I’m a cuckoo lady too, but I would never be able to do it off the strength of Madonna. There are fines that go into these things, and I just thought, ‘Oh my God. I hope they don’t penalize Madonna.’ Madonna knows the artist that M.I.A. is and it was her decision to take the risk with all of us. We were kinda all firecrackers and she took that risk. She’s done some crazy things becoming the icon that she is, so I think that’s why she was able to forgive M.I.A. I love M.I.A. and I don’t want to say anything that is the wrong thing, but me personally, I couldn’t see myself doing it, just for the respect for Madonna. I wouldn’t want any backlash to come back on Madonna.”
