And Finally
Minaj also disappointed in MIA
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 15 February 2012
Poor old MIA. After Madonna said that the British rapper’s brief finger flash during the recent Super Bowl halftime show was “such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do”, now her fellow guest during that performance has spoken of her “disappointment” in the incident too.
Minaj told Ryan Seacrest: “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 penalise Madonna’. Madonna knows the artist that MIA 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 MIA”.
She added: “I love MIA 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”.
Speaking her Minaj being a “crazy lady”, what was that Grammy performance all about? “[My alter-ego Roman] wanted to show that not only is he amazing and he’s sure of himself and confident”, she explained. “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. That’s what was portrayed”.
If you’ve got no idea what she’s banging on about, then you’re just going to have to watch the Grammy performance for yourself (it’s hard to work out, but I think it might be brilliant).
