What songs did Nicki Minaj perform at Vmas 2022? ›

In a stunning performance, Nicki took us all down memory lane by performing some of her top hits, including “Beez in the Trap,” “Moment 4 Lyfe,” “Super Bass,” and her iconic “Monster” verse. “Pink Friday 2” is set to release on Nov. 17.

The show was emceed by LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj, and Jack Harlow. Minaj was honored with the Video Vanguard Award, presented to her by her fans. Red Hot Chili Peppers was honored with the Global Icon Award which was presented to them by Cheech & Chong. This was the last VMA ceremony to be broadcast on The CW.

At the 2022 MTV VMAs, her crystal-spangled Oscar de la Renta dress was a not-so-subtle hint to the aesthetic of her album Midnights, which she announced on the same night (sparkles to represent stars in the sky, as well as visual nods to her single, 'Bejewelled').

If Taylor were to win, it would extend her record as artist with the most Video of the Year victories, a record she broke at the 2022 VMAs with her win for "All Too Well: The Short Film."

The night's first presenters were none other than NSYNC, who reunited to hand the best pop video award to Swift. In coordinating suits, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez shared the stage with Swift.

While the VMAs were totally star-studded (as always) some notable names were noticeably absent from the crowd. Harry Styles, for one, just finished his long Love on Tour run. While he was nominated for an award in the Best Visual Effects category, the singer was absent from the show.

He first gained recognition for his 2017 songs "Mr. Clean" and "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot", both of which gained traction on SoundCloud and received platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Gravy's rap career first took off while he was studying marketing at University of Wisconsin–Madison. After graduating, he kept an apartment in Uptown for a couple years before moving to Los Angeles permanently.
