Nicki Minaj cant be tamed. Producers of the American Music Awards are pulling their hair out over the bubble-gum rappers racy requests and high-budget tastes. Sources say Minaj insisted that British YouTube sensations Sophia Grace Brownlee, 8, and her 5-year-old cousin Rosie who recently rapped her hits on The Ellen DeGeneres Show be included in her performance of Super Bass with David Guetta at the awards Sunday. But it pushed things overbudget by including lodging and compensation for the wee performers. Minaj also wont tone down her suggestive wardrobe and routine. Sources say an electro-themed set would include an electric vibrating prop between her legs. The producers are fighting it out with her, a source said. They dont want kids dancing to a song with that. She wont back down. Minajs rep didnt respond. An ABC rep said, All I know is the girls are working the red carpet. Other than that, I suggest you tune in Sunday night.
