Nicki Minaj performed a jam-packed medley of some of her biggest hits at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards – watch it below.
The Pinktape rapper, who was MTV’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award recipient, kicked things off with an acapella rendition of her song “All Things Go.” From there, she dove into “Monster,” followed by “Beez In The Trap,” “Chun-Li,” “Moment 4 Life,” “Super Bass” and “Anaconda” before closing out with her most recent Billboard smash “Super Freaky Girl.”
The medley served as Nicki Minaj’s first VMA performance since 2018, and in addition to her Vanguard Award, also managed to snag the “Best Hip Hop” trophy for her single “Do We Have A Problem?” with Lil Baby.
