Nicki Minaj's Grammys Performance - Watch Now!

Nicki Minaj levitates during her performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards held at Staples Center on Sunday (February 12) in Los Angeles.

The 29-year-old rapper kicked it off by confessing the lyrics to her new single, “Roman Holiday,” while sitting next to The Pope, the same man she walked with on the red carpet earlier in the evening.

The performance, called “The exorcism of [Nicki's alter ego] Roman,” was choreograhed by Laurieann Gibson and featured religious imagery, pyrotechnics, and backup dancers dressed as monks.

“OMG @ that chris brown performance. >>>>>>>> SHUT DOOWWWNNNN,” Nicki tweeted about another one of the night’s performers.

This is what happens now a days with music industry, we got people who are going to do whatever it takes to sell and to be out other. The image is more important then the music. Not cool

@LOOP You feel like you have to pray after this performance? It isn’t clever enough to evoke any kind of moral outrage. It’s just bad in general.

I can’t believe people applauded that garbage!!!! That is NOT talent!!!! So wrong is so many ways! Lord help us!

Thank God for Adele!!!

And I find it extremely ironic that Laurie Ann Gibson quit working for Lady Gaga because she was against the religious imagery and believed in the scripture and “didn’t want to be struck by God.”

@Matt Valdez

No, Matt. The difference between the two is that Lady Gaga’s performance is actually good, regardless of content.

when the “artist” will understand!! respect religions!!! its always awfull and shocking see things like this!! it only causes people lose the respect to their music!! i’m catholic and i feel uncomfortable seing this!.. the fame and admiration must be created for the quality of music not for their ridiculous actions! just saying!
