As a hard core hip hop junkie and backpacker since the 80's who grew up on hip hop from the 70s on up i don't get this girl.She is horrible, he cadence is that of a child. Her lyrics are ultra basic,the tracks suck, and she really doesn't have any kind of talent. If Rolling Stone name you hip hop anything it's an insult and she is the furthest thing from hip hop. She might fall into rap but more likely she is pop music and not good at that. Between people like Lil Wayne, drake, and her I am just doubting people intelligence for music and think the new generation just doesn't honestly know what hip hop is and I bet that most don't even know the elements by name. So sad

It was barely a pat, not a big deal. But if it was appropriate or not it has nothing to do with his age so please stop what sounds like age discrimination.

Mr.Philbin was just exhibiting a normal human sexual response. N. Minaj has a sexy figure and Mr.Philbin did it because he liked it and he knows can get away with it.

I feel Regis was just being a man and Im sure he did his research on Nicki Minaj before she came on his show and Im sure he listened to a couple of her tracks, and from judging what he heard and pics he saw. he acted Accordingly!!!

Give me a break she let's drake hump all over here like a do in heat, what does she expects anyone else to do. I agree the way you dress is your business and does not give anyone permission to touch you. he was just joking plus he touch her on the back leg! you can make a big deal out of this all day long if you like but it really isn't. Personally I don't like her myself. I did ar first but how much of the clown get it can one person stand. I love this song because she is not acting like an child like in most of her other songs and videos.

minaj is an unwashed missy elliott wannabe and is a total waste of tape, as plastic as her cd's, and is no different than most of the girls standing on street corners in new york

I think the quality of her voice is amazing. I'd love to hear her sing some "torch" songs like Cher used to do on her show a long time ago. I think she would be great!
