Following her controversial set at the 2012 Grammy Awards, Nicki Minaj has come under fire from ‘The Catholic League‘, who have labelled the Rapper a blasphemous attention seeker.
Details below…
The League’s President Bill Donahue explains:
Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of the Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam.
There are Catholic priests who are trained to perform exorcisms, and it seems plain that the time has come for Nicki Minaj to make an appointment.
Even worse than Minaj is The Recording Academy that runs the Grammys: they knew exactly what she was going to do and gave her the green light. I’ve never heard of a collective exorcism, but there is a first time for everything.
In case you don’t know who Donahue is, he is the man who labelled the parents of child abuse victims liars when they spoke out against the predatory Priests responsible for that abuse.
So just for that, his comments are nul in void.
While his stance on her ‘questionable’ theme is understandable, his habit of focusing on trivialities and downplaying the issues that are really damaging Catholicism are a joke- to say the least.
But what do you think?
Nicki did nothing offending. She did a reenactment of an exorcism. The Catholic League should worry about things that are REALLY damaging the church like priests molesting children.
l think your agument is stupid writer.2 wrongs dont make a right.
Nicki disrespected a religion,God….Not this Donohue moffo.she did it just for the sake of it but look who had the most post grammy effect ? Adele.
So,no one cares about her fuckery
The public dont know who ROMAN is to say the least. But at the end of the day …. SHES BUZZIN’ ON EVERYTHING. SONGS , PERFORMANCES , COVERS, PROMO COMMERCIALS. *shrug* Keep em’ talking Nicki
Nicki has turned into a complete joke. How old is she?
And this performance was no difference from people rushing to see The Devil Inside, Last Exorcism, Exorcism of Emily Rose. Hell, gaga’s performance was worse and even worse with JUDAS. HEll, they premiered THE DEVIL INSIDE in a CATHOLIC CHURCH
Above the blasphemy, her performance was a hotter-than-he|l a*s mess.
It’s a metaphor people!! She did nothing to disparage the Catholic church. They do that just fine all by themselves.
Yea i dont think she would touch Islam or Judaism
Raping little boys in church is a sin. They don’t get my empathy. It’s just a performance. That’s what artists do.
THey shoulda been more offended by gaga’s judas song. Now that was pretty blasphemous even though both songs are just metaphors. Catholics and priests are trippin. SMH.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I HAVE RESPECT FOR NICKI MINAJ AS SHE APPEARS TO BE ACCEPTING AND EMBRACING OF EVERYONE. IF THEIR IS A PROBLEM, SHOULDN’T HAVE CONDEMNED GAY PEOPLE AND THEN NICKI AINT GONNA BRING IT UP IS SHE. IT WAS VER MUCH A METAPHORE ANYWAY.
sam u stupid lul b**** c***….u try to turn this a catholic thing instead of adressing this b****.
she mocked the church and thats a FACT. U can have ur opinon about god religone tc but its about respect.
Dumb antheist.
I’m not catholic, so……I wasnt offended…
and we all know the catholic church is the biggest joke when it comes to anything sacred…..
I really dont see what the big fuss is about…..especially since we all know nothing is sacred when it comes to religion anymore…
i dont even like nicki, but i have to say, this s*** is not that serious, when every week some new priest is accuse of raping a little boy in the catholic church…
people who condone that have no respect and were raised wrong.
to say that was ok is just stupidity at its finest
its funny people can only mock the catholics but not islam and judanism bc they would get f****** killed
how did she mock the catholic church?
are we really going to try to defend the catholic churches now?
yes her performance was stupid, she was trying to do a gaga performance and she failed…
but to say she mocked the catholic church who is the fakest religion on the planet..nope..
I’m not going to defend a church or religion thats known for raping little boys…NOPE
when they are raping alter boys and girl isn’t that Blasphemous,man f-ck them pampas racist old f,arts,when madge,gaga,movies and others it,s all good but because a rapper nicki minaj did something similar it,s the end off the word,amn f-ck them all,i now alot of you are going to agree with them because you all despise nicki minaj down to her core,so f-ck you all too this is utter b-ll at it,s highest bias f cks.
she wasn’t mocking anyone,we here fans know what she was doing,but haters and bias f-cks is going to act like they don’t now whats up,so they are going to defend these f-cking catholics who is f-cking rapping nouns little alter boys and girls,now that is blasphemous i want them to show me in the bible were it says you should do all that,am these haters will agree with anyone who is hating on nicki now what who da f-ck it is,bias f-cks.
@rdk
b**** and where in the bible does is say u can have alter egos and dress like a ho and mock the church?
b**** go back and be a barbie = a plastic piece of s*** that people can control = puppet
nicki disrspected her fans so many times but yall still with her….puppets nothing more like yall idol
1. The performance mimicked something that was common in popular media. Funny how they didn’t have s*** to say on ‘The Devil Inside’ movie.
2. Perhaps they should worry more about their institution that hides the r*** of young boys and protects their rapists.
3. There was nothing condemning the religion or church, whatever their excuse on exorcisms they do occur and have been explored in media.
4. Picking an easy subject to get media attention when your mouth STAYS shut on serious issues is far more pitiful than what Nicki did.
In other words, no f**** are given, miss me with that BS and GTFOH.
Ol’N**** Minaj is a disgusting c***. I’m so glad her 15 minutes are up. Shame on the grammys for allowing this s*** to take place. Shame on this h** for trying to be GaGa. Everything olnigga does fails
It was blasphemous.
I think something’s gone down. Whitney’s dead and Nikki wears red and disrespects religion. Kanye disrespect’s and Taylor swift wears red….
Somethings gone down
She is stupid..just like her fans.
It’s called Acting, putting on a show that will have people talking.. Not a nicki stan but she winning.. Like the other comments no difference from the other catholic- like movies.. Get over it.. Start bashing everyone else about they s*** if you gone complain about Gaga and Nicki songs and performances..
@ The Stir.Cafemon, They are saying that
Adele’s Break From Music Breaks Our Sad, Sad Heart’s
Where in the hell did she find that man?
ONCE THE WHITES TURN ON U ITS A RAP SHE BETTER PRAY THEY FORGIVE HER ASS SHE AINT NO LADY GAGA SHE IS BLACK SO SHE NEEDS TO PLAY IT CAREFULL JUST CSE MADONNA DID IT OR LADY GAGA DONT MEAN SHE CAN HER ARRROGANCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS
123456 don’t you have a little boy to go r*** are something,get da f-ck out of here you f-cking scourge.
As an American, I believe in a person right to express themselves. I would have hated to be alive during the time when the Catholic Church was the law. I forget his name but the Pope imprison a name for proving that the Earth was not the center of the solar system. The bible was written by HUMAN BEINGS and not no god.
123456 that is a serious issue rapping people,but you all have the gal to go ofter nicki minaj for some performance,were other did similar in the p-ss,bias hypocrite f-ckers,you all should burn you all selves a pray for forgiveness,as for as i see the allmight god is a forgiving god and he will forgive even you and the rest of them,not my words,it was written ok bias hypocrites.
TYRA only like you nicki minaj isn’t a coward,she did her thing and she stood by it,so they can do what they want to do,it,s her performance if they want to twist it and take it the wrong way so be it it,s a free country and some parts of the world,and the world is full of cowards,hypocrites and bias people.
You Nicki fans are going to burn in hell for condoning this bish. I’m not heavy into church but I still know never to play with the lord and his work. On a side note how does nicki’s family feel about this. I feel sorry for them
I don’t CARE what it was!!!! Acting? Really? This was the biggest night, a night to showcase what you have and this b**** comes doing this? She’s a wanna be, trying to be gaga. She has Gaga ex choreographer and producer. So use your brain. They only people they liked that crap is her minions.
Its NEVER okay to mock ANY religion. @TEXAS COWGIRL wow, one day you will wake up.

@THOSE THAT CANNOT DO, STAN
ALL of you are dumb as rocks!!!! Mentioning a movie? Yes, either you go see the movie or not, its up to you. With the Academy awards there was no warning. The b**** just pops up with that s***.
It was not right, you if you liked that your dumb. I couldn’t any understand ONE word she was “rapping” it was horrible.
Once you lose the white card, its a WRAP!!!!!!!
ALL of the celebrities DID NOT like it AT ALL. Did you see their faces? lol especially LL.
The only performance I liked was Adele man her voice is unbelievable!!!!
Oh Bruno was good also.
Blasphemous attention seeker INDEED and she has #NOGRAMMY
@JILL,,,Preach, i am still trying to figure out how many that got GRAMMY’S
And Rihanna did not.,they think they are slick for giving her a Grammy for being on
kanye’s album and her album sold more than chris and jay and kanye’s put together.
If the give grammy because of sales she deserved one and if the give grammy on substance than her album was just as hot as any of the others who got a grammy. I grant you adele earned her’s and so did Rihanna she deserved a GRAMMY FOR HER BODY OF WORK, TOO.B******’S.
YESSSSS U SAID THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AGREE 1000000%!!!!!!!!! : Those That Cannot Do, Stan

Rihanna might not be no mary j, beyonce, gaga, jennifer or foo fighter
or chris brown but she deserved a dam Grammy for “Loud” them Bastards.
She know she was going home empty handed so she showed her ass. And through it was going to be liked but she just may have become one of the most hated woman in the buz
If Gaga’s broke d*** ass got those grammsy last
year Rihanna deserved to get some too. And looking at
the dam list many of the artist who got grammy did no better than rihanna did they are
full of s*** and every one know this. They take one year and give Beyonce 6, and fukk all the rest this year it was adele and they had to give her 6 to catch up to beyonce’s ass because beyonce is a black bytch and they gave gaga’s ass double last year them dirty ass B******.
Say what ever in the fukkk you want to say RIHANNA Is the best selling
DIGITAL ARTIST EVER IN THE US And many bytches are still talking s***. I am looking at all of the hoopla over how they build Gaga’s dam ass up with that dam egg she hasthed and s*** and gave her the STORE then they seem to just give to who ever in the fukkk they want to and don’t no one say s*** to me about RIHANNA’S SALES ANY DAM MORE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SHE SOLD MORE THAN JAY, KANYE AND CHRIS DID AND THEY ALL Got grammys.
i CAN SEE WHEN ARTIST SINGLES STAY AT THE TOP BUT rihanna’s album out sold many and she was ignot=red they can fly a fukkkin kite , them bastards. There was others who was left off the list who should have won something also.
Having the best selling ALBUMS & SINGLES DON’T MEAN JACK S***. I KEEP REMEMBERING THAT THE “VOICE” DIED AND LEFT THE WORLD WITH ONLY 6 GRAMMY’S. WHY? WHITNEY HAD THE BEST VOICE EVER AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, EVEN CELINE AND MARIAH HAS NEVER EVER WON 6 GRAMMY’S IN ONE SINGLE NIGHT ,,,WHY??????
NICOYUKI [i am a nicki minaj fan]well i am sure god don’t condoning rapping people and other immoral stuff you,f-ckers do,nicki didn’t mock anyone,do you now how stupid your brainwash a-ss sound right now,talking about burn in hell,are you a god are you an angel how do you now who is going to hevan and who is going to hell,i can see that you religion got you all mess up,anyways it,s a free country you worship who you want to,god,dainty,idols anything you want to,but you tell me who is going to hell and who is not is a sake of sh-t to my ears it,s even worse it,s coming from bias hypocrite like you all.
thye calling out artist and there performances,and these people who are casting judgement on this artist are doing so much immoral stuff that is so shocking,and they want to call out someone on some song are performance that countless others did before her,my the level of hypocrisy is so unreal.
@LAX
I agree with you!!!!! But you don’t need to cuss out Bey, Jay and Kanye over it lol….That’s her crew and I love ALL of them. It would of been sweet if Bey and Rihanna won that night. I don’t see how you don’t like Beyonce? Rihanna loves her? lol Anyways I agree to a certain extent with you.
If they was going to give this c*** a grammy, I was going to get pissed. Rihanna don’t need to do this because people are drawn in to her. People can say what you want about rihanna but she is “it” something about her I like.
I wonder who is going to be on Birthday Cake remix? maybe prince?
I grew up Methodist and as an adult I am Catholic. You don’t have to be any specific religion to see that performance was blasphemous. I thought it was offensive and the fact that TGJ felt the need to attack the messenger (no matter how much he deserves it) in order to defend Nikki suggests that they also found the criticism valid.
Lol this guy shouldn’t be allowed to speak. Not because of Nicki but because he’s a jackass! I totally think what Nicki did wasn’t rude at all since she copied a movie!

RDK SO AM A COWARD CSE I CALLED LIKE I SEE IT I DNT KNOW WHAT PLANET U LIVE ON BUT US BLACKS CANT DO THE SAME THING AS WHITES THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING SHE AINT THE FIRST TO MOCK RELIGION OR USE IT TO COURT CONTROVERSY BUT ITS BACKFIRED ON HER ASS
@Jill
H** please shut up. Usually I approach the less intelligent a little more gently but when you bring your ignorance to court I shut your s*** down.
First…do you understand what a per-for-mance is? Of course you don’t. There is no limit or discretion on a performance. It is up to the ARTIST. You don’t come to an award show dedicated to artist performing, KNOW who is performing and then complain about it. Luckily the audience of the show isn’t as simple as you.
Second. If you live your life trying to please as many people as possible I’m quite sure you’re as boring as you seem dull. It doesn’t matter if the audience liked it. Nicki chose to do that performance and committed to it 100%. She’s long since said she chooses to do things that won’t always appeal to people but that makes her happy.
At the end of the day she was on a Grammy stage and nominated while you were where? Exactly. She is getting national media attention and has a blossoming career. Seems like she knows what she’s doing.
Finally, piece of advice, don’t reply to me boo boo. You’re slow and I will f*** you up verbally.
@THOSE THAT CANNOT DO, STAN
Have a seat, you are one of her minions.
@Jill
Exactly.
Not an intelligent thing to say to any of the points I made because your 5 brain cells were struggling to read half of it. Maybe instead of worrying about Nicki you could focus on fixing up your education and leave the 5th grade comments for your diary.
TYRA you wish it backfired you meant,you dumb a-ss will always see thing different,you bias little coward you are a career nicki hater a relentless one at that,go back to nicole b****** because your hateful as blossom over there,seems you are mistaken sorry you won’t get any thumbs up over here so you can cut the extra effort.
SHOULDNT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BE MORE CONCERNED WITH WHY THEIR PREIST KEEP MOLESTING LIL BOYS INSTEAD OF BEING UP IN ARMS OVER A NICKI MINAJ PERFORMANCE?… JUS SAYIN
SHE SUCKS
rdk u sound so dumb what the f*** u on about i dnt even hate nicki minaj i was just saying she needs to be carefull she cant do the same s*** that gaga can and get away u might want to live in lala land like ur fave but u best believe nicki has eaten humble pie and she will stay in her lane if u cant handle the truth thats ur problem not mine
btw i dnt need ur thumbs up incase u aint noticed noone is rating that wackass performance as anything other than a pile of satanic s*** take that and shove up u and ur faves plastic ass
I would assume that those who were not offended would at least have to admit that the whole get-up hindered her ability to actually rap with any level of quality. For an example, she was out of breath as she layed flat on her back strapped down trying to rap- not good.
That performance was horrible! If you weren’t offended you should at least see that her music sucks balls!
Nicki sucks and so does Gaga http://gagacheat.b*******.com/
she did nothing offensive she was doing what she was asked to perform and she shut s*** down point blank #PERIOD.
