According to MTV, Minaj will provide a “special remote performance” from “a secret, iconic location in New York.”
Of course, that’s all the information we have so far, but fans are already speculating that the Statue Of Liberty could be involved, given the crown and Nicki’s Queenalbum concept.
There’s also the possibility of the performance taking place in Nicki’s home borough of Queens, which would also play into the title.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Post Malone and Travis Scott would perform at the awards show. Prior to that, Logic and Ariana Grandewere confirmed to perform.
Jennifer Lopez will be honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the event and will share a special performance.
Nicki is nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video for “Chun-Li.” Her fourth album Queen will arrive 3 days prior to the show, so it’s anyone’s guess which song she will pull out for the occasion.
