Nearly a month after the initial event took place, CBS aired the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion show Tuesday night. Pop/Rock outfit Maroon 5 joined in on the festivities, but by and large, those present at New York’s Lexington Avenue Armory were treated to a Hip Hop show. In a year highlighted by the contrast between the rich and poor, a collection of lingerie that included pieces in the $2 million range was displayed on models catwalking to tracks from one of 2011’s most opulent albums—Watch The Throne?
Kanye West and Jay-Z took center stage with their certified platinum-selling single, “N*ggas In Paris.” And while the cameras often panned to an expecting Beyonce, Jay-Z pointed to the runway and joked, “We’re here…we might as well walk it.”
The Throne’s performance was sandwiched between a decidedly more weighty solo set by West and an upbeat closing act by Young Money’s Nicki Minaj respectively. West informed the crowd that he was also originally scheduled to perform during the 2007 show before tragedy struck.
“I was supposed to perform this song on this show, and I lost my superhero…now she’s my super angel,” West announced, in reference to his mother, Dr. Donda West, before performing “Stronger.”
Nicki Minaj concluded the night with a nearly five-minute long version of “Super Bass,” which featured Victoria’s Secret models joining in on the choreography and the usual cadre of male dancers.

Glad to see, Rocnation, Young Money and G.O.O.D performing in the same business. This shows that black owned businesses know how to conduct themselves without violence. Business first is the lesson learned. Both teams are winning and it’s enough money for everyone to get, so get it.
i agree that positive black people is what the world needs more of. stop all that fist fighting and shooting at shows. thank you ymcb, good music and roc nation, for a great show.
HAHAH WHAT YOU THOUGHT JAY HAD SOME BITCHES FROM MARCY WAITNG TO CUT NICKI FACE UP? GET REAL YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID IM SURPRISED THESE NIGGAS KNOW HOW TO ACT IN FRONT OF WHITE FOLK
@LAMES
YOU SEEM TO BE A NEGATIVE HATER, WHO WOULD RATHER SEE RAPPERS BEEF WITH VIOLENCE. IT IS REALLY A GREAT THING YE, NICK AND HOV DON’T CARE ABOUT DUMB HATERS LIKE YOU. SMH @ LAME AZZ…….
i think moneybaggz need to learn how to read
Great performance of Jigga und Ye. Ye’s solo performance was awesome, too. Especially the beginning of Stronger was brilliant. The whole idea of them models walking while Ye’s rappin’ is great.
By the way, good to see Kanye wearing special but not hillarious clothes.
Minaj’s set was also ok but as usual: what in god’s name is she wearing?
Ahh, when you Jay, Kanye und Nicki Minaj there, it definitelly would be cool if they performed “Monster”
Nicki’s performance was awesome as well, so chill with that bias. “Monster” would have been amazing, because all 3 of them are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn’t even think of that but you’re right, a performance of “Monster” would have been spectacular!
After Jay-z n kanye i put it on mute for maroon 5 n nicki
Too bad you will never be as rich and famous as none of them.
* And the proceeds from this show will go to rich white peoples pockets.
i thought J-Z AND KENI WEST RUINED THE SHOW SHAME ON VICTORIA FOR PUTTING RAPPERS ON THE SHOW, WE DONT NEED THE HOOD ON OUR TV’S OR IN A SHOW LIKE THAT.
And we dont need your snobby ass on our hip hop sites. GTFOH
why are you on this site?
Get your fagget ass outta here
Another Win for Jay n Ye… where wayne @ ??wack ass
Another win for Jay, Kanye and Nicki. Where were you? On the sidelines hoping to get in lol.
Nicky is hella ugly next to the Victoria’s Secret chicks
I’m sure she looks better than every female you have ever hooked up with for free. If you’re a female, i’m sure you don’t even look better than Nicki.
Apparently they Jay & Kanye got $300,000 each.
Nicki got $75,000
That’s big money. The ROC!
what’s your point? you never made $75,000 in your whole life. Nicki has sold only 1.6 million records after 53 months, while Jigga and Ye have sold 50 million worldwide after 18 years in the game. ain’t nothing wrong with making less than legends, when your only a rookie. your hate is showing, so therfore your comment isn’t valid.
MAN THOSE MODELS CAN’T DANCE FOR FUCKING SHIT LOL!
