    Madonna Controlled Every Aspect of Nicki Minaj's Super Bowl XLVI Look

    Madonna always has been -- and always will be! -- the H.B.I.C.

    Before Nicki Minaj joined her onstage during Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, the 53-year-old Material Girl personally approved every aspect of the rapper's look.

    "Madonna was the first person in history who was able to make me change my wig," Minaj, 29, said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Monday. "I had some choices in terms of color, but. . . she has a way with words."

    "She knows how to word things so that you don't feel uncomfortable," the hip-hop star explained. "I went through four color changes on my wig for the Super Bowl. We got the platinum blonde and she smiled. Once she smiled, I was like, 'Thank you, Jesus!' I couldn't take it anymore."

    The "Give Me All Your Luvin'" legend was also the first person to convince Minaj to try red lipstick. "It's so funny because when I did it, I wound up loving it. I told her, 'I'm so glad I trusted you. You're amazing! You're the queen, and everybody has to bow down.'"

    "She knows what she wants," Minaj said in defense of Madonna. "When you see her vision, it's like, 'Oh, OK. Now I get it."

    To be included in such a monumental performance was life-changing for the rapper. "Why would she include me in such a special moment? It's such a special moment for her," Minaj said. "I had to give my all."

      the half time show was WAY better than her Grammy performance. After that creepy performance, I felt compelled to go to church and pray for my house to be cleansed and for the Lord's protection!

      Hey @Louis: at least Madonna has a career that spun many decades and is worth hundreds of millions. Bash her all you want,not like she will care. And do not compare Madonna with the Kardashian clan which are fake as hell and have no talent. Have they won a Golden Globe for anything? Can they act or sing? Not really. Use someone who is just as useless as the Kardashians to compare them or diss them.

        kardashians could not act out of a paper bag and how did they get so famous? Look like a groupie for a convention of prostitutes.

      Ok Minaj...... you got your presentation with Madonna, so pleeeeeease..... you can now stop kissing her ego #$%$ already.... ok? Don't bow yourself to someone who is NOT a GOD. You are very good singer and artist as well, so don't make yourself sound like you are like Madonnas slave or so... because YOU ARE NOT!! I like you much better then Madonna, who is nothing but ENVY EGOISTIC DOMINANT and PROMISCUES B****CH. She was on top in 80s, but its 2012 now... so now its TIME FOR NEW GENERATION like YOU MINAJ and OTHERS.... Don't make yourself look like something smaller then Madonna please....I like you much better, because you don't speak with british accent, if you an american.... you are YOU and you stand for that.

    • SPAYPET  •  3 months ago
      Because Madonna's a control freak!
    • Me  •  3 months ago
      Did she approve the middle-finger-fiasco too? Publicity, publicity....
    • Shawn  •  3 months ago
      Too bad Madonna couldn't infuse the brown-nosing Nicki with some talent
    • Cocolove  •  Miami, Florida  •  3 months ago
      I agree with Anne S, Nicki what in the hell, kind of performance was that, someone should have told you the truth & IT WAS WACK, so who ever said it was great should have been fired, it just goes to show you when you start making money people don't tell you the truth about yourself & your performances!!!

      It doesn't matter what Nicki wore or what Madonna sang; MIA made sure the focus was on her. Thats all people will remember or talk about from that performance. Madonna was upstaged, despite her (chronic) attempts to control everything and everyone. It was a vulgar and inappropriate action on the part of MIA, but I'm laughing about how she outsmarted Madonna and had the last 'word'.

      I didn't even know the Pope lover was at the Half time show let alone performing.

      When you are a part of the Illuminati like Madonna then you can CONTROL everyone./'\

      "Why would she include me in such a special moment? It's such a special moment for her," Minaj said. "I had to give my all."....... guess that included your middle finger too eh?
