The "BARBZ" singer was previously co-hosting the 2020 VMAs alongside LL Cool J and Jack Harlow, so she's no stranger to the stage. Taking to her social media, Minaj excitedly shared her return to hosting duties with her fans. She asked "Why would the @vmas let me host this show?" hinting at her unique presence that she will bring to the VMAs this year.
Minaj won both Best Hip-Hop Video and the Video Vanguard Award at last year's event. This year, the nominees for Artist of the Year are all women - Minaj, Beyoncé, Doja Cat, Taylor Swift, Karol G, and Shakira - making it the first time in VMA history. SZA leads with six nominations, while Minaj and Doja Cat are both tied at five nominations.
On top of hosting duties, Sean "Diddy" Combs is also returning to the MTV Video Music Awards stage for the Global Icon Award and to perform for the audience. This award is to honor his successful career and contributions to music, business, and entertainment. This marks Diddy's return to the stage since the 2005 VMAs.
The show will air live Tuesday night on MTV and simulcast on several networks ranging from BET to Nickelodeon. It will also be simulcast in Spanish on UniMás. It's sure to be an exciting night as we watch Nicki Minaj host the show and Diddy return to the stage, so don't miss out!
