Last year Miley Cyrus scooped the award for most controversial performance and this year it belonged to rapper Nicki Minaj.
Nicki delivered one of the most shocking shows we’ve seen in a while as she belted out new hit Anaconda at the Forum in Inglewood, California, on Sunday night.
Dressed in a pair of high-waisted sequin shorts and a matching green crop top, the 31-year-old singer strutted, twerked and writhed around stage and Rita Ora was left open-mouthed.
The singer, who sat in the audience watching with a friend, appeared wide-eyed and motionless during the saucy set. We imagine she just couldn’t cope with Nicki’s booty-shaking in the flesh.
The most shocking part was when she dropped to the floor, grabbed her crotch and had one of her backing dancers lie on top of her – and you can imagine the rest.
And although most of the crowd appeared to be whooping and cheering, not everyone loved her controversial performance, with one person writing on Twitter that she was “gross”.
“Nicki Minaj has ZERO class. That is so disgusting. Might as well just have sex on the stage. SO gross.
Nicki, who left the real-life snakes out of the final performance after one of her dancers was bitten during a rehearsal, was also challenged by the Parents Council who issued a pre-emptive warning as they thought it would be inappropriate for kids to watch before they even knew what it was.
And they were, uh, probably right.
