She acted as host, the nominee and the performer on the evening. And Sunday night’s MTV EMAs might as well have been the Nicki Minaj show after the singer landed on the stage in a spectacular ruffle hem dress, that featured a 14ft train, preparing the audience for an unrivalled number of wardrobe changes.

Nicki opened the show with an expletive within her first five words as presenter and continued to the litter the show with foul language, but the rap artist was a firm hit with the fans. She started the show by saying:
‘What the f*** is good Glasgow? It’s November and it’s the EMAs. Sit back, relax and get ready to turn the f*** up.’
The unapologetic singer later said: ‘I’m sorry if I cursed, but I am Nicki Minaj,’ setting the tone for the rest of the Nicki-centred awards ceremony. US rap artist Nicki went from crowd pleaser to crowd pleaser, riling the Glasgow audience early on with her own rap as a tribute to ‘the Scots’, which featured the cult favourite Proclaimers hit I’m Gonna Be.
Nicki’s original song featured the line: ‘Queen, that’s what they call me, plus I’m ballin’ with the tartan army’ before she broke into ‘I would walk 500 miles…’, complete with audience participation. Her fans took to Twitter on mass to show their support for the Bang, Bang singer, saying she was ‘hilarious,’ ‘perfect’ and ‘killing it.’ Uk artist Labrinth said: ‘@Labrinthda1st: #NickiMinaj ft @SkylarGrey sounding great tonight go get her song it’s trending right now #BedOfLies!’
Another user followed up with: ‘@AnthonyMinaj: Tonight has been AMAZING. Nicki got a win, she hosted BRILLIANTLY and premiered a new song with Skylar Grey. Congrats! @NICKIMINAJ’ Summing up the evening, a fan gushed: ‘@JackTMUK: @NICKIMINAJ honestly, I’m speechless about tonight queen, you’ve made mine and many others night, congratulations’
Distracting from her performance and early acceptance of the Best Hip Hop Act, users were most impressed by Nicki’s eight outfit changes on the live show. Opening the ceremony, the buxom brunette wore a dress that appeared to defy gravity as she was lowered onto the stage with the 14ft train below her.
In a suitably show-stopping fashion, she made three outfit changes in the space of thirty minutes and continued as she meant to go on, showing off her shape in a catsuit, ladylike red dress and even a golfing outfit. And while Nicki’s outfits showed off almost every area of her famous physique, she didn’t show as much of her derriere as viewers would have expected.
Accepting her award, Nicki hinted at her behind in a tiny white thong that showed through a little white dress. Taking the initiative for a little self-promotion, Nicki also revealed the date of her next album release. She said: ‘After two years, I’m releasing my third album The Pink Print and I’m so excited to share it with you on December 15. And I will be back here to perform.’ As if the singer didn’t have enough on her plate on Sunday evening, on top of hosting the awards show, the singer delivered a show-stopping performance that drew on early favourites and future hits.

Nicki performed a medley of Super Bass and Anaconda in a skin tight sheer body suit, twerking on the stage and flaunting her curves. Nicki didn’t take herself too seriously though, laughing when she attempted a British accent for the crowd and even dressing up in an adorable sports outfit to do mini golf on stage.
As a treat for ‘The Barbs,’ Nicki brought a fan on stage to putt with her, as she stood by in a little bobbed wig and a green-collared dress.
On the whole, Minaj was a hit with the audience, maintaining their attention throughout the MTV awards ceremony, its 20th anniversary show.
