M.I.A’s outrageous finger-flipping didn’t go unnoticed by her peers on stage at the Super Bowl! Nicki Minaj reveals in a new interview that she was baffled by M.I.A.’s behavior.

Nicki Minaj didn’t hesitate to reveal how she really felt the moment M.I.A. flipped the bird during their Super Bowl performance on Feb. 5.

“My first feeling was disappointment, only because of my respect for Madonna. I’m a cuckoo lady too, but I would never be able to do it off the strength of Madonna,” Nicki told Ryan Seacrest’s on Feb. 13 via Rap-up. “There are fines that go into these things, and I just thought, ‘Oh my God. I hope they don’t penalize Madonna.’ Madonna knows the artist that M.I.A. is and it was her decision to take the risk with all of us.”

It’s refreshing to hear that even though Nicki is a wild child — she still would never have done something like M.I.A. did to embarrass Madonna!
