NEW YORK, NY – Nicki Minaj was the musical guest for the season finale of Saturday Night Liveon Saturday (May 19).

During her performance, the Queens superstar did a live rendition of “Chun-Li” while wearing traditional Japanese garb.

Minaj, whose performance comes ahead of her forthcoming album Queen, also wore chopsticks in her hair, had several Asian backup dancers and used an Asian-style pavilion as part of the backdrop.

After the show aired, Twitter exploded with tweets accusing Minaj of cultural appropriation. Many people questioned why a white Utah teenager was recently accused of cultural appropriation for attending her high school senior prom in a Chinese-themed dress while Minaj seemed to get a pass.
