Nicki Minaj, 39, has an important job as one of the hosts of the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, so it’s not surprising that she wore an incredible outfit for the show. The famous rapper wore a sparkly long-sleeved top with a pink skirt, as well as stockings and a pair of black boots with pink laces. She also sported pink hair and a cute bow to match her colorful look. Nicki showed off her look when she performed a medley of her songs including “Super Bass”, “Moment 4 Life,” and “Anaconda.” More AboutNicki Minaj

Nicki hilariously had someone form her team bring out her phone so she could read notes for her acceptance speech. She thanked “key people” like Lil Wayne, Lauryn Hill, JAY-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Kanye West, and more. Nicki also gave a shoutout to her 1-year-old son, who she calls Papa Bear, saying, “Mommy loves you so much.”
