Nicki Minaj is gearing up for an electrifying comeback to the MTV stage, ready to take on her dual role as the host and performer for the highly anticipated 2023 “VMAs.” The spectacle is set to unfold live from New Jersey’s iconic Prudential Center on the 13th of September at 2:00 am CAT, reaching over 150 countries through MTV (DStv Channel 130) and MTV Base (DSTV Channel 322).

In a remarkable repeat performance, Minaj is returning for the second consecutive year to unveil the show’s dazzling lineup of performers, presenters, and winners. To top it all off, she is all set to mesmerize fans with the world premiere of her latest single, “Last Time I Saw You.”

Last year, Nicki Minaj took the “VMAs” stage by storm, assuming the roles of emcee, performer, and adding a cherry on top by clinching the “Best Hip Hop” award. Furthermore, she was bestowed with the coveted Video Vanguard Award, cementing her status as a true icon in the industry.

Nicki Minaj’s VMA legacy is nothing short of impressive, boasting an impressive total of 25 nominations over the years. This year, she has been nominated six times, reaffirming her enduring influence in the music world. Notably, she once again finds herself in the running for “Best Hip Hop,” a category she first conquered a remarkable 12 years ago and then three more times in 2015, 2018, and 2022. Her five other nominations this year include the highly coveted categories of “Video of the Year” and “Artist of the Year.” This is a testament to her enduring impact on the music and entertainment landscape.
