    Who else keep coming back to watch nicki and Wayne transition 👀🤣🫶🏼
  • @Diariesofameena
    I’m obsessed with the way Nicki did a head roll when Wayne came on stage
  • @odysseymonet
    Bro… Nicki’s switchoff to Wayne gives me chills !!! When she flipped her head 😨
  • @shankapotomus100
    To perform a song from a 14 year old mixtape and still have the audience know every word... nobody does it like Nicki
  • @TaylorNichole1
    Nicki’s songs are 14yrs apart. The way the crowd is able to recite both 👑 Edit: There are a lot of artist from back in the day and even a few years ago that crowds can recite their old music. However a lot of them are actually still dropping music now that no one knows. They aren’t able to maintain that. Especially to be able to perform them at an award show and the crowd know it word for word. It’s the longevity . Someone’s pen & artistry to be able to carry over & they still produce popular music is amazing. Especially in this day & age. There’s not a lot. I give 💐 when due and she deserves all of them. Yes there are obviously artists with older songs we know but are they still dropping songs today that crowds outside of their immediate fan base know? Their new music doesn’t have motion. My initial statement was never to degrade other artists or diminish their success just to uplift Nicki but the replies didn’t get that. Why is it so hard for y’all to give Nicki her props & recognize her impact? 💕💕
  • @deeneille
    The fact that Nicki was the only woman on that stage for this just cements the fact that she is the queen of rap. Period. 🇹🇹❣️
  • @andrevitor.x
    The fact that nicki doesn't need to rap like... ever, the barbs deliver the BARS everytime
  • @Meggysmalls
    The sweetest part about nicki performing is she’s doing it in front of a lot of her haters 🤣 I bet she had fun
  • I can’t stop coming back to see the way Nicki devoured this 😭😭😭
  • @lindaalice6137
    Honestly keep coming back to this video and fast forwarding to Nicki 😂❤
  • @whitney1416
    The crowds reaction to Nicki is unreal! Every single word!
  • @bachelorette1755
    Nicki Minaj once said Slick Rick was her biggest inspiration. Now look at her sharing the same stage as her idol. She is the definition of hard work.
  • The power that Nicki has is that there is rap royalty around her and she manages to have all the comments talking about her
  • Nicki’s smile when Red Ruby came on. 🥹 She knows she’s the ONE & not the TWO. Songs were 14 years apart & the crowd knew both verbatim. AN ICON.
  • @shuhuasslave1961
    the way more than 70% of the comments is about nicki proves her impact 😌✨
  • Niki and Wayne's performance took me out. It was too hype & I need them to do a tour!!
