"Nicki Minaj has said that she felt &amp;quot;disappointment&amp;quot; over MIA&amp;#039;s finger gesture during Madonna&amp;#039;s halftime show at this year&amp;#039;s Super Bowl. Minaj and MIA joined Madonna to sing their parts on the pop superstar&amp;#039;s new single &amp;#039;Give Me All Your Luvin&amp;#039;&amp;#039; during her medley.  Asked about MIA replicating her single-finger gesture from the song&amp;#039;s music video, Minaj told Ryan Seacrest&amp;#039;s radio show: &amp;quot;My first feeling was disappointment, only because of my respect for Madonna. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a cuckoo lady too, but I would never be able to do it off the strength of Madonna.&amp;quot; Minaj continued: &amp;quot;There are fines that go into these things, and I just thought, &amp;#039;Oh my God. I hope they don&amp;#039;t penalise Madonna&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s done some crazy things becoming the icon that she is, so I think that&amp;#039;s why she was able to forgive MIA.&amp;quot;  &amp;gt; NBC apologises for MIA&amp;#039;s Madonna Super Bowl show middle finger gesture &amp;gt; MIA to personally pay any fine imposed on NBC for Super Bowl gesture? The &amp;#039;Stupid Hoe&amp;#039; rapper added: &amp;quot;Madonna knows the artist that MIA is and it was her decision to take the risk with all of us. We were kinda all firecrackers and she took that risk. &amp;quot;I love MIA and I don&amp;#039;t want to say anything that is the wrong thing, but me personally, I couldn&amp;#039;t see myself doing it, just for the respect for Madonna. I wouldn&amp;#039;t want any backlash to come back on Madonna.&amp;quot; Madonna has described MIA&amp;#039;s gesture as &amp;quot;out of place&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;kind of a teenager irrelevant thing to do&amp;quot;. She was initially said to be &amp;quot;livid&amp;quot; about the incident. Fellow halftime show collaborator and &amp;#039;F**k You!&amp;#039; singer Cee Lo Green has said that he is sure MIA regrets her actions. &amp;gt; Nicki Minaj on Grammys performance: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ve never been more comfortable&amp;#039; Watch Nicki Minaj, Cee Lo Green and MIA on Madonna&amp;#039;s halftime performance below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
