“It wasn’t as racy as we were anticipating,” admitted Melissa Henson, director of the Parents Television Council. “What we were expecting to see was what was in the video — a guy up on the stage and her performing lap dances.”
She added, “Her costume was less revealing during the VMAs than it was in the music video. The elements were there, but the most offensive content was edited out. Whether Nicki Minaj had anything to do with that or MTV or network standards and practices, I don’t know, but we were relieved to see that it wasn’t as bad as it might have been.”
Also a MTV rep confirmed the rumor of her toning it down isn't true

But an MTV spokesperson denied there was any conversation between Minaj and the network about racy content for her performance, and Minaj’s rep didn’t get back to us.
But Anaconda wasn't really any more tame than Miley's performance. I mean Nicki even stimulated sex on stage with another chick? This council is a trip.
Nicki's performance was one of the best of the night. It wasn't trying too hard to be controversial like Miley last
year, but it wasn't a snoozefest either. Nicki's vocals were on point and the choreography, while nothing complicated or mind-blowing, was completely on point. One of the highlights of the night, loved it.
