Nicki Minaj sends wa.rning to rap fo.es at VMAs: ‘You bi**hes ain’t bett.er than me’
Whiel on the mic, Minaj reminded the music world that everyone “looks up to” her. MTV
Bow down to the Queen — she’s who we all look up to, if you let her tell it.
Her royal voluptuousness wowed in an oversized black shawl and two-piece lacy black lingerie number to debut her latest track “Last Time I Saw You,” from her forthcoming “Pink Friday 2” anthology at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday.
Temporarily removing her hostess hat and tapping into her performance panache, the 40-year-old “Super Bass” superstar shook Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center with her hard-hitting lyrics — letting other female rappers know that she’s in a class by herself.
“I’m on a whole ‘nother level, these bitches ain’t better than me,” yelled Minaj to a screaming audience.
She added: “You bitches look up to me. You say you look up to her, but really you look up to me!”

The native New Yorker, who’s emceeing the event for the second year in a row, failed, however to explicitly name the “her” that she referenced on the song — but owing to Minaj’s long list of musical foes, it literally could be anyone.
And virtual buffs of her Barbz fanbase were all abuzz about the hitmaker’s surprise showcase.
“Nicki Minaj owes me nothing, she just straight murdered you dumb b- -tches,” tweeted a devotee.
“NICKI MINAJ IS COMING FOR NECKSSSS WTFFFFFF,” yelped an overzealous enthusiast.
“Nicki Minaj is letting them know that SHE’S BACK with a new song previewed on her performance,” cheered another.
To open the show, the “Barbie World” beauty wowed in a romantic lace, baby pink number that hugged her Coke-bottle figure.
She joked with the VMAs audience that she would “control” herself by refraining from saying anything out of line during her role as the show’s radiant ringleader.
