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:
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.
