Nicki Minaj is set to open this year’s MTV Video Music Awards taking place on August 30th and airing live at 9pm ET (tape-delayed on the West Coast). Minaj made the announcement by posting a photo on Instagram of a sonogram featuring the Moonman statue, poking fun at the pregnancy rumors that have been circulating since she called her boyfriend her “baby father” during an August 8th concert.
Minaj was recently in the news openly discussing her anger over “Anaconda” not earning a Video of the Year nomination. On July 21st Minaj, who’s obviously not too upset to agree to perform on the awards show, tweeted, “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.” That set off a lengthy twitter discussion with Taylor Swift who believed that tweet was referencing her nomination.
This year’s VMAs will be hosted by Miley Cyrus with Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Pharrell Williams, Demi Lovato, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Tori Kelly, A$AP Rocky and Twenty One Pilots all set to perform.
