After #TheCruzShow’s interview with Remy Ma, Nicki Minaj’s fans were quick to jump on board to defend their rap queen on Twitter by hashtagging #NickiBBMAs. Well last night, Nicki Minaj finally hit the stage and opened the Billboard Music Awards with a few special guests. She performed older hits, such as “Super Bass,” “Anaconda,” and “Starships,” as well as, her newer singles, “No Frauds” with Lil Wayne and “Light My Body Up” with David Guetta. She had Jason Derulo join her on stage while she did “Swalla” and finished her set with a reenactment of “Regret in Your Tears.” Watch her kick off the music award ceremony below:
