Nicki Minaj wasn’t happy about how CBS handled the broadcast of her Sept. 9 Fashion Rocks performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, and she wants them to know it.
Following the show, Nicki took to social media to criticize the CBS producers for allegedly cutting out parts of her “Anaconda” she wanted her fans to see.

First, she called out CBS for putting too much focus on the crowd, and not enough on what was going on on stage:
Barbz, I’m sorry about those angles. They told us they’d go wide, never mentioned they’d shoot the audience instead. Big learning experience

Then she went into more detail. In an Instagram post, she detailed how CBS cut shots of the choreography during the second verse of “Anaconda.” She claimed changes could have been made if she was notified beforehand, but the camerawork left her unable to show off the moves:
The Instagram post came with the following caption:
My darlingz, I wish you could’ve seen the choreography on the 2nd verse of ANACONDA last night. It was absolutely divine. CBS decided not to show it. Had they told us this before, we would have changed the choreo so that you guys could see the full performance from beginning to end. They already had you tuned in tho. Artists spend so much of their own money, time and passion to deliver their fans great performances. But ultimately, our art usually falls into the hands of people who care nothing about our art and creativity. Promise you’ll get to see this new choreo soon.
