Nicki Minaj has angered the Catholic League after the rapper performed a mock exorcism on stage at the Grammys. Watch the performance if you missed it.
Bill Donohue as a response to Minaj’s rendition of her song “Roman Holiday.” Donohue mocked Minaj but primarily blamed the Recording Academy for allowing the number to air, a notable fact given that the executive producer of the Grammys and Minaj have told conflicting stories about how the performance got approved. More on that in a moment. First, the angry press release.
After describing Minaj as “fresh off looking like a fool with Madonna at the Super Bowl,” Donohue’s missive provides a somewhat accurate recap of the hip-hop freaktress’s performance.
“Minaj’s performance began on stage with a mock confessional skit,” he writes. “This was followed by a taped video depicting a mock exorcism. With stained glass in the background, she appeared on stage again with choir boys and monks dancing.” [via]
