Nicki Minaj Makes NSFW Moves Performing “Side to Side” at AMAs

By Sarah Duran |

Damn, girl! Nicki Minaj sexed it up at the 2016 American Music Awards on Sunday, November 20. The rapper performed “Side to Side” with Ariana Grande and at one point during the performance, threw her legs in the air and made an arguably NSFW gesture sitting in a wicker chair.

As one person on Twitter shared: “Did Nicki Minaj really just spread her legs open and rub herself? On national TV? Guess who’s living right now😂.”

Others weren’t as keen on the vulgar dance move.

“WHAT THE HELL did @NICKIMINAJ just spread her legs on stage for? I mean honestly, a little class goes a long way,” another Twitter user added.

Their performance was relatively tame given the song’s lyrics.

As previously reported, Grande revealed during an interview with MTV News that “Side to Side” is about having so much intercourse that walking in a straight line becomes a problem.

“That whole song is about riding leading to soreness,” the pop star, 23, explained. “’Ride d–k bicycle’ is the lyric, indeed.”

So, @NICKIMINAJ not only spread her legs in the air, but she stroked her vag on LIVE TV. Did I see that right? Am I dreaming? #AMAs

What the f*** did I just watch #AMAs ? Nicki Minaj has no talent whatsoever. The fact that she opened her legs that wide disgusts me.

Why did Nicki Minaj feel it necessary to spread her legs and grab her crotch? Where are the classy female singers? Have they all died?#class
