[BlindGossip] There was a big fashion controversy in the days leading up to the Grammys. This particular singer was not about to let anyone outshine them on the red carpet. “F*ck the swan and f*ck the meat dress!” they said. “I want something really outrageous!”
They changed designers and outfits several times in the days leading up to the awards show, with each iteration getting more and more controversial. When the decision was finally made, a shouting match ensued between the singer and their manager. “There’s a difference between creative and offensive, and you’ve crossed the line!” Even the star’s close friends argued passionately about the outfit. Some were calling it genius, some were calling it tacky. It will be interesting to see if there will be a backlash tomorrow… and if that backlash will hurt record sales.
Nicki Minaj and the “pope”
Definitely Nicki. She and her bf/manager Safaree got into a heated argument and he wrote something on twitter about it.
FTW!
I totally agree.
It has to be, I cannot think of anyone else who wore something remotely controversial. Maybe that Russian with the machine gun arm, she’s not even relevant enough for me to care to look up her name and whether or not she is even a singer, though, so it can’t be her.
I wasn’t offended by that whole display but it was so tacky. She’s trying way too hard now.
You hit the nail on the head with that guess – I’m so sick of this no talent woman who constantly steals her style/ideas from Lady GaGa. A real no talent.
GaGa?? please.. Madonna has been there and done that 90% of the time with these dumb chicks like it or not. Facts is facts, bebe..
Nicki look like a * clown, and it’s offensive.I guess her crazy bf knew it was wrong as well, she is so desperate for attention.
It she actually wanted to be controversial she should should have shown up in a Burka or an Abaya. Now that would caused a hailstorm of controversy and perhaps a jihad against her as well.
Definitely Nicki Minaj and her Pope… accessory. I see lots of people calling it offensive.
Niki Minaj? or however you spell it.
Nicki Minaj and her satanic looking cloak
Nicki Minaj and her “Pope accessory”?
Going with Fergie on this one. Clue being “outrageous,” which is the name of her Avon perfume. Also just read an article saying she chose her peek-a-boo bra and undies outfit which was “the safe choice” of the two. Guessing she didn’t pick the racy one this blind refers to.
I take it back. Forget clues; I’m going with Nicki.
Wow, that was unnecessary.
Yes, it was. And the Fergie guess isn’t bad, considering it was a rather unusual choice to wear. Not too many years ago it WOULD have been THE controversial dress of the show but things have changed a lot in the past few years.
I guess I’m the only one that thought Fergie looked pretty good. I mean have you seen her in past years?!?! And it’s the Grammys- always one of the WORST dressed award shows!
I’m with you iammeme, I thought Fergie looked even *gasp* classy in that dress.
Rude….
Thanks for the thoughtful, articulate reply. Incidentally, I retracted my answer and went with Ms. Minaj about 10 seconds after posting my initial response – in a comment that’s still in moderation.
As always, keep it classy!
Hoping it is Niki Minaj. I was disgusted by her.
Amen. Most icons make it on their talent. Except Madonna and Britney.
=)
Both Britney and Madonna are talented. Don’t hate.
nicky minaj
Nicki minaj
Nicki minaj I can’t front I liked what she wore lol
Me too. Hey, it’s the grammies, it’s supposed to be the “shocking” awards show…and hey, a cool cape is a cool cape.
Nicky minaj?
Nicki Minaj – can see A LOT of people offended by her outfit and “plus 1″. first post!
Hi Mmm! Love, Ace
Nicki minaj
I’m going to guess Nicki Minaj
good grief what was nicki minaj wearing? my bet is on her.
Oh this is easy Nikki Minaj
Niki Minaj!
little red nicki minaj and the pope!
Minaj — u don’t use a religious theme if ur not looking 4 attn
Also, sometimes Catholics call on a boycott if they object — explaining the hurt album sales.
Nicki Minaj.
obviously Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj?
Nicki Minaj
Can it be anyone but Nicki Minaj ? Horrible .
Hands down, Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj….first time poster long time stalker!
Good night, Johnboy! Love, Ace
bon iver
LOL!!!!
This has to be Nicki Minaj and her Little Red Riding Hood accompanied-by-the-Pope get up.
Nicki Minaj.
Just saw Sasha Gradiva’s outfit…never heard of her and another person who deserves to be on the worst dressed list.
I’m sure the blind is about Nicki but Sasha’s outfit was so terrible! Even worse than Nicki’s in my opinion. And I have no idea who Sasha Gradiva is. But the cyborg arm made out of guns was just ridiculous.
Nicki Minaj !
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj and the Pope
Nikki!
can’t think of anyone but nicki
NIkki Minaj and her weak attempt at being Gaga
Nicki Minaj
Nikki Minaj. Didn’t she learn f’in with the pope is a career killer from Sinead O’Conner?
Little Red Nikki Hood?
Nicki Minaj – Little Red Attention * (Borrowed that nickname from someone else, but … tres appropos!) with a Pope look-alike.
Nicki Minaj and her “Pope” date?
First time poster…long time lurker!
Hey Jungle! Love, Ace
Off the top of my head, the only one I remember being tacky was Fergie’s see-through lace dress with bra and underwear showing.
Ooooo, I take that back! I forgot about Nicki Minaj’s weird pope cape/dress thing. I can see that as being offensive to Catholics.
nick minaj… for sure
Minaj.
nicki*
Niki Manaj and the Pope
This has to be Nikki Minaj and that ridiculous outfit she had on, plus the Pope as her date.
Nicki Minaj. So over her.
Minaj with that ridiculous get up. Who thinks her music is any good, seriously?
Nicki Minaj. It wasn’t that bad.
Bonnie Raitt. jk
Nicki Minaj….
Nikki Minaj. I think it was her in the nun w/ Pope accessory red number.
nicki minaj
Nicki M and she looked stupid. But she’ll get headlines which is the point.
Nicki Minaj. I’m not Catholic, but I’m gonna go with offensive, not creative. Ugh.
Nicki Minaj – Little Red Riding Hood and the pope
Niki Minaj
I’m gonna guess Nicki Minaj and that ridiculous red thing and the pope/bishop escort!
Nicki Minaj! Her accessory was a (guy dressed as) pope!
Has to be Minaj. As seen in this photo:
http://i.imgur.com/KkyH5.png
I am about 90% sure this is Nicki Minaj because everyone I know was all ‘what the hell is she wearing’ until she sang then we were all ‘what the hell is she doing’. I say 90% sure because I figure there is a 10% chance this was Fergie ( except not really, because next to Nicki she almost looked normal). But Nicki has nothing to worry about because I think people will be talking about her tomorrow due to that hot mess performance she gave not her dress. And FYI I am actually someone who likes Nicki Minaj, I just could not believe what I was seeing.
LOL, that performance was truly a hot mess. I seriously went between laughing and wondering WTF I was watching. Definitely the most entertaining portion of the Grammys for not-so-positive reasons.
I love how Michelle Branch tweeted that she changed the channel when she knew Nicki Minaj was coming on.
My first time on this site! I think it is Nicki Minaj.
Mmmm Burito! Love, Ace
nikki minaj?
Nicki Minaj dressed as the Pope or whatever.
Nicki Minaj. She’s tiresome and trite. Madonna did it all so long ago and so much better.
Nicki Minaj?
It has to be nicki manaj w/ her religious versace cloak
Nicki Minaj and her Catholic costume? I thought it was hilarious. But she’s really trying to hard to be hip hop’s Lady Gaga at this point. She needs to go back to how she was two years ago.
too*
I’m with you…I wasn’t so much offended by Minaj’s outfit as “meh, it’s been done.” It wasn’t outrageous — because it was trying too hard to be outrageous. As it was, it was just silly.
Lady Gaga?
Gags, Katy Perry, or Minaj
Nicki Minaj and her faux Pope
Whoever wore that Little Red Riding hood getup? Nikki Manaj?
It’s Nicki Minaj. She came with a Pope or something. They all look ridiculous.
Nicki Minaj and the pope
Nicki Minaj
There were rumours about her and her “manager”/BF getting into an argument before the Grammys and her performance and arrival at the awards with a “pope” was offensive.
Nicki minaj aka roman
Nicki Minaj obviously
Nicki minaj. So overrated & such a do*che.
Could it be any other than Nikki Minaj and her pope & priestess/ exorcism of Roman thing. Atrocious.
Nicki Minaj? Although she didn’t look outrageous, just stupid.
Nicki Minaj?
Lol Nicki Minaj? Or that Russian singer with the mermaid machine gun outfit? There were lots of weird outfits this year.
Nicki M…SMH
No one but Nicki Minaj.
First time poster…uhmm, Sasha Gradiva? Dlisted got a write up on her in a ridiculous dress. Love this site
http://dlisted.com/2012/02/12/open-grammys-post-hosted-promqueeninator
You’re an Angel! Love, Ace
That is just… horrible.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj?
Fergie
Nicki Minaj
nicki minaj
nicky m? but i don’t see where is the trouble with his outfits
First time poster, long time lurker. Nicki Minaj!
Hola Ido! Love, Ace
<3
nicky manage and the pope?
Got to be Nikki Minaj and her pope
nicki minaj
I winnnnnnn!
And the nominees are…
Fergie’s safety-orange lace with black underwear
Nicki Minaj’s borrowing of Satan’s bathrobe
Robyn’s platform boots and hideous white satin mullet dress
The weirdo with the gun crawling up her arm
Does Adam Levine’s girlfriend sing? Because she wasn’t wearing hardly a thing…
I’m going to go with gunnery girl as the “winner” in this dubious category.
Robyn’s outfit was only offensive to people with taste in fashion.
Nicki Minaj. And may I say- not genius.
Nicki Minaj and her date the Pope?
Nikki Minaj wore a red nun’s habit. Only thing I could think of
Nicki Minaj…
Nicki Minaj? She didn’t offend me, but I can definitely see why she would…
Nicki Minaj, obvs.
Nicki Minaj
Nicky Minaj? She looked a right mess, but isn’t her whole career based on “backlash”? Apart from her hired Pope-a-Like I can’t see that it’s particularly offensive, just ugly!!
Nikki Minaj
My guess is Nicki Minaj as she is the only one who seems to have went a bit “out there” on her outfit – didn’t seem like anything too bad though? Read that she arrived with someone dressed like the Pope? When will these losers get a life and come up with an original idea?
The one and only Nicki Minaj dressed as a nun in a red habit and with the “Pope” as her date. Here are pics:http://justjared.buzznet.com/2012/02/12/nick-minaj-grammy-awards-2012/ Really lame in my opinion. Why not just sing/rap some good stuff (or is that too much to ask for anymore).
Nicki Minaj with her personal Pope?
Nicki Minaj is my guess.
Nicki Minaj’s red carpet outfit with the priest was def tacky!
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj? Sure sounds like it.
Nicki Minaj (Scarlet red Versace & a man dressed as the Pope), Holly Mother!
Nicki Minaj! Aside from the obvious blasphemy of it… she looked and sounded terrible.
I’m going to go with Nicki Minaj…and tacky :/
I can only think Lady Gaga…
Nicki Minaj?
nicki minaj
Nikki Minaj taking advice from her new friend Madonna on how to stir up a controversy.
I guessed Sasha Gravida but my original reply is still under moderation till now
This can only be Nicky Minaj and her “date”
Ugh, definitely that atrocious Nicki Minaj. Did you see her outfit? Tacky, offensive and plain desperate.
Nicki “Red Riding Hood” Minaj and her Pope-escort. Ridiculous.
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj?
nicki minaj
and that was totally tactless/offensive whateva
Snooze… Nicki minaj… How dull
Nicki Minaj
It has to be Nicki Minaj. She’s just trying to out-do Lady Gaga, but I heard her performance was TERRIBLE.
Dear Nicki…that was very tacky….p.s. No one cares
Sasha someone, never heard of her, wearing that completely mental machine gun on her shoulder….WTF was she thinking?
Nicki Minaj
Obviously Lady Gaga, who is very quickly running out of ideas to keep our interest.
Nicki Minaj dressed as little red riding hood w/ a priest
http://style.mtv.com/2012/02/12/nicki-minaj-deadmau5-grammys/
Nicki Minaj and the pope/nun look?
Nicki Minaj!
Nicki Minaj – her accessory being the Pope.
Guessed niki minaj before even seeing the outfit, them checked the outfits out, saw her stupid dress, and my suspicions were confirmed.
Lady gaga does it tastefully and immaculately.
Niki does it cheap and sloppily..she is such a try hard, it doesnt suit her image at all.. It’s really quite pathetic seeing a grown woman act so pathetic and sheep like.. if your going to copy at least get a good outfit not these pathetic tasteless revolting cheap outfits like that pom pom monstocity.. Face palm
Nicky Minaj.
Definitely Nicki Minaj. Pathetic!
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj.. she looked awful
first time poster! gotta be Nicki Minaj and her Pope
Hey Casca! Love, Ace
Minaj?
Nicky Minaj
So, from what I can understand it’s not Gaga? She’d have been my first guess. Whoever it is I can’t wait to see the dress now!
Nicki Minaj dressed bizarrely who brought the bishop with her- a dig at the church maybe? 2nd choice- Lady Gaga
Nicki minaj
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj? I feel like it was trying too hard so it literally did not even shock me. I took it more like a Halloween costume. Tacky though very tacky.
Didn’t watch the Grammys, haven’t checked the photos, pretty sure it’s going to be Nicki Minaj trying to shock again, though.
Nicki Minaj?
Nicki Minaj. Has to be. What a bozo.
Nicki Minaj’s shtick was pretty offensive
Nicki Minaj.
The twit Nicki Minaj, coming with someone dressed as the Pope, way over the line. I hope it does hurt her record sales.
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj.
Nikki Minaj? I didn’t watch the grammys…
Yeah, just looked it up and I think I’m right. She’s such a f*cking idiot.
nicki minaj
Ugh, Sash Gradiva, what an idiot…….
nicki minaj
Nikki…Dumb, looked like a Gaga copycat…too bad…she had her own unique thing going before this
Nicki Minaj. I’m sure her red nun’s habit and her sidekick the ‘pope’ will alienate at least some of her fanbase.
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj….too many people are insecure nowadays…anything to get attention…we are all doomed…
Nicki Minaj
Minaj
Nicki Minaj!
The red cape and Pope.
Gaga?
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj – the Pope costume.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Monaj, I kind of found her whole Roman theme a little offensive. Her outfit, over the top, and having a bishop accompanying her just too much. Love Gaga and everything she does, but the whole pushing the limits thing is getting old.
Nicki minaj
Nicki Minaj
Nikki Minaj…though she’s not really a singer
Long time lurker, first time poster!!
It’s got to be Nikki Minaj…….
Hello Flax! Love, Ace
Nikki Minaj and her habit looking getup, along with the pope impersonator.
I’m on the tacky train….how is her outfit genius?
Nicki minaj
That woman who wore the dress with the automatic guns on it.
Nicki Minaj.
Nicki M. I’m guessing BFF Katy had something to say about it all.
BTW, you know you are in trouble when the words “F#ck the meat dress” come out of your mouth.
Fergie? See through lace straight to her underwear. Or was that a black bikini?
Nicki Minaj >>>> Nun Dress
nikki minaj
Nikki Manaj. That was an epic fail.
Some chick accessorized her dress with a machine gun strapped around her shoulder and arm. I do know who she is but she looked like a fool.
Nicki Minaj and that stupid outfit and walking in with someone dressed as the pope
Nikki Minaj
Nicki Minaj, Sasha Gradiva, Bonnie McKee… I didn’t understand ANY of these outfits.
Nikki Minaj?
Nicki Minaj
lol, I just took a look and I guess this is Nicki Minaj?
I’m not one to look at red carpet pics but most people look just lovely! Rihanna is looking a bit… I dunno, odd. Ill, skinny?
Nicki Minaj?
