Nicki Minaj took a break from her hosting duties to premiere a new song, “Bed of Lies,” at the MTV European Music Awards (EMAs) in Glasgow on Sunday, Nov. 9.
Minaj hosted the big event and also took home the award for Best Hip Hop Artist. Her entrance, however, is what had everyone talking. Minaj appeared above the stage, suspended by wires and wearing a gown that showed off her already famous cleavage.
Minaj also teased fans with new music and debuted “Bed of Lies” in a medley performance of her hits “Superbass” and “Anaconda.” Not only did she surprise fans with new music, she also did it while wearing a see-through jump suit – just one of her many provocative outfits worn throughout the night.
As for her hosting duties, Minaj chose to embrace the EMA’s host country, Scotland, by rapping about the country – “I like redheads that rock kilts.”
The rapper was also photobombed by a dinosaur.
Of course, Minaj was just one of the performers making headlines at the EMAs. Ariana Grande took home two awards, for Best Song and Best Female, and performed a medley of her hits “Problem” and “Break Free.” Not only that, but the singer ditched her signature ponytail look, wearing her hair down on the red carpet and for her performance.
Boy bands were also big winners at the EMAs, with One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer taking home a fair chunk of the awards, though neither band could attend the festivities. Other highlights of the night included Slash presenting the Global Icon award to Ozzy Osbourne, and Ed Sheeran performing “Thinking Out Loud.”
