Remember when Ariana Grande was portrayed as some wholesome, innocent yet updated version of a 1992 Mariah Carey? Then she started licking donuts and unleashing anti-America tirades on hidden video. Now she’s simulating oral sex on stage with Nicki Minaj during the MTV VMA’s.
That of course didn’t sit well with viewers of the annual music awards show, who felt rather dirty watching Ariana and Nicki getting their beans licked. Or at least, simulating such.
Ariana Grande And Nicki Minaj Ended Their VMAs Theatrics With… Um… An Oral Performance?

The duo performed Grande’s hit song ‘Side to Side’ which may or may not having absolutely zero to do with getting your bunny licked, but I guess I’ll leave that decision to the lyric professionals.
Regardless, there’s a strong amount of backlash over the performance but it has people talking which is likely the reason they did such.
