Nicki Minaj, Grammys 2012: Rapper Rocks Red Robe, Rolls in With Pope

Either Nicki Minaj has found religion, or she's really, really trying to make an impression. Arriving earlier this evening at the Grammy Awards, the rapper rocked a red Versace robe -- part Little Red Riding Hood, part priestess -- and strolled in with a dude dressed like the pope.

"It was the egg moment of the year," the commentators on E! said, referencing Lady Gaga's infamous arrival at the 2011 ceremony.

Our best guess: Minaj has been spending too much time with her Super Bowl teammate Madonna, the queen of religious controversy.
