Minaj explains act
NEW YORK
Some were confused, others offended by Nicki Minaj’s over-the-top performance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, but the singer-rapper doesn’t understand what the hubbub is about. The 29-year-old says she didn’t get what “the big issue” was with her five-minute, live rendition of her songs “Roman’s Revenge” and “Roman Holiday.” She says the theatrical performance, which included dancing priests, an exorcism and levitation, was just a part of a movie she’s writing.
