ABC is apologizing for an editing blunder involving Nick Minaj's nip slip on Good Morning America today The network claims that a 5-second delay was in place, but Nicki's wardrobe malfunction — she flashed the East Coast — was caused by an unfortunate glitch in the system.
“Although we had a five-second delay in place for the Nicki Minaj concert on GMA, the live East Coast feed of the concert regrettably included certain fleeting images of the performer that were taken out of later feeds of the broadcast in other time zones," ABC said in a statement, via Radar Online, adding "We are sorry that this occurred.”
Nicki’s left nipple popped out of her bra top while she energetically moved around the stage during her performance as part of GMA‘s summer concert series. The East Coast caught the nip slip in real time.
After the show, Nicki Tweeted: “LIFE. U guys just gave me LIFE. I love u Team Minaj! Words could never do this love justice! Thank u @Gma !!!!! Honored.”
