| - Roman Holiday is a song by Trinbagonian hip hop artist Nicki Minaj, the opening track from her second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. It was written by Nicki Minaj, Larry Nacht, Winston Thomas and Safarree Samuels, and produced by Blackout (Thomas) and Pink Friday Productions. Two months prior to the album's official release, Minaj performed what many viewed as a highly controversial rendition of the song at the 54th annual Grammy Awards ceremony on February 12, 2012. Reviewing the album, Jessica Hopper of Spin called the song itself %22pure theater, the closest hip-hop's gotten to its own Bohemian Rhapsody, full of thrilling crescendos and twitchy verses that verge on the ridiculous, but always shift toward the triumphant.
