This is a shocking choice considering the show features performances from Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera, Chris Brown and Jennifer Lopez. All of those acts are more high profile compared to Nicki Minaj. I have a feeling this will not be the case during the telecast.
Aside from Katy & Justin. Nicki is one of the biggest act of the night.
I know hopefully they just perform "Where Dem Girls At" I don't want Nicki making a fool out of herself unless she's been taking vocal lessons.
