Nicki Minaj has explained the meaning behind her wild Grammy Award performance.
Minaj took to the stage for a performance of her brand new song 'Roman Holiday' after arriving at the awards with her own priest in tow on the red carpet. When up on stage Nicki's performance included her male alter ego Roman and an exorcism.
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest about what went into the show, Nicki said: “The religious figure is there because he was called on by Roman’s mom to rehabilitate him.”
Adding: "The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday.’ The producers of the Grammys came to the studio and I played them ‘Roman Holiday,’ and I could not play them another record after they heard that. They went crazy."
“I had this vision for him to be sort of exorcised—or actually he never gets exorcised—but people around him tell him he’s not good enough because he’s not normal, he’s not blending in with the average Joe. And so his mother is scared and the people around him are afraid because they’ve never seen anything like him."
