Nicki Minaj performs during her VMAs Vanguard ceremony
On Sunday night, Nicki Minaj was honored at the 2022 MTV VMAs. She was presented with the Video Vanguard award, as the anticipation for this moment was hyped on social media, for over a month.
Nicki went on to perform some of her biggest hits to date, such as “Roman’s Revenge,” “Beez In The Trap,” and her latest chart-topping single, “Super Freaky Girl.” Nicki went on to deliver a speech as she was also joined on stage by some of her fans, the Barbz.
Super Freaky Girl was released almost two weeks ago, as it was initially announced in July. This month, Nicki went on to add the “Super” part to the single’s title. Super Freaky Girl topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart last week, as it became the first solo single by a female rapper to debut at number one, since Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” back in 1998. This weekend, Nicki also went on to release a compilation album of her greatest hits, “Queen Radio: Volume 1.”
