Nicki Minaj gave fans an energetic and booty-filled performance of her Sir-Mix-A-Lot-sampling hit "Anaconda" last night at Fashion Rocks 2014. Paris Hilton and Steve Madden introduced the femcee, who sported a diamond-studded bra and skirt.
However, CBS's cameras kept panning out into the crowd, cutting to audience members such as Jennifer Lopez, so some of Minaj's fans (Barbz) took to social media to voice their frustration at not being able to see her moves on the song's second verse.
As Rap-Up points out, Minaj responded to the incident on Instagram saying, "My darlingz, I wish you could've seen the choreography on the 2nd verse of ANACONDA last night. It was absolutely divine. CBS decided not to show it. Had they told us this before, we would have changed the choreo so that you guys could see the full performance from beginning to end. They already had you tuned in tho. Artists spend so much of their own money, time and passion to deliver their fans great performances. But ultimately, our art usually falls into the hands of people who care nothing about our art and creativity."
Right before she hit the stage, she announced the release date for her long-awaited album, The Pink Print, which is due out November 24.
