Nicki Minaj Disappointed in M.I.A.


Nicki Minaj has expressed disappointment in fellow rapper M.I.A. after the rapper pulled the middle finger during Superbowl’s Halftime Show during her shared set with pop icon Madonna.

Minaj, who is no stranger to controversy, told radio personality and Idol host Ryan Secret about her feelings on the matter, stating, “My first feeling was disappointment just because— only because— of my respect for Madonna. There are fines that go into these things, I just thought, ‘Oh my god, I hope they don’t penalize Madonna.

However Minaj went on to throw M.I.A. a bone. “Madonna knows the artist that M.I.A. is, and, you know, it was her decision to take the risk with all of us,” she said. “We’re kind of all firecrackers, and she took that risk and she’s done some crazy things in becoming the icon that she is and I think that’s why she was able to forgive M.I.A.”

For those who caught the rapper’s Grammy performance which consisted of a church themed set up, as Minaj played a demonized child that had the holiest of rollers calling foul, you may be surprised about whether or not she would ever do something similar to what M.I.A. did. “I love M.I.A. and I don’t really want to say anything that is the wrong thing, but me personally, I couldn’t see myself doing it,”

What do you think? Does Minaj sound like a hypocrite? Do you think M.I.A. did anything wrong? Did you catch the blink and you’ll miss it middle finger? What do you think went wrong with the time delay? Weigh in here!
