Nicki Minaj has been criticised for her recent Grammy Awards performance by the Catholic League.
The rapper performed latest track 'Roman's Holiday' on Sunday night (February 11) which featured lookalike pope who 'conducted' a type of exorcism on her.
The Catholic League has slammed the performance and The Recording Academy for letting it happen.

According to Gothamist, Bill Donahue stated: "Perhaps the most vulgar part was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer."
He later added: "None of this was by accident, and all of it was approved by The Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys.
"Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam."
