Controversies• The rapper was seen walking the 2012 Grammy Awards' red carpet arm-in-arm with a man dressed up as the Pope. It was Nicki's mini-movie "Exorcism of Roman" and "certain" on stage moves, followed by a tape depicting the fake exorcism, that triggered The Catholic League. While some questioned if she was really possessed, others said she was high on drugs.

• Nicki Minaj, in form of a protest, deleted her Twitter account after the tracks from her new album were leaked.

• The Anaconda singer, then 28, suffered her first wardrobe malfunction while performing live on the stage of Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series. The hosting channel ABC apologized for Nicki's "nip-slip", followed by an apology from the singer. Rumors about the entire malfunction being staged, spread like a forest fire. However, the artist strongly quoted, "People are ridiculous if they think that I would use that as a stunt. I would never, ever do something like that on purpose. I swear to God."

• One of the biggest controversies in Nicki Minaj's list is, Lil Kim blaming her for identity theft. Kim said that, Nicki copied her style as, she had hired all her staff, from the make-up guy to the stylist and all others working in background when she came out. According to Lil Kim, she found this to be obsessive and disrespectful towards her. This became the most heated up controversy in the music industry, ever since Ray J and Drake became a part of it at some point of time.
