The quiet and understated annual affair otherwise known as the MTV VMAs has rolled around again, and Nicki Minaj fancies some music video trophies.
Nicki, in an interview with MTV News, pleads: "We are the hungry, struggling, up-and-coming newbies, and you've all been new at one point in your life, so show the kids some love".
In other Minaj news, the 'Massive Attack' hitmaker performed a lapdance for fellow Young Money labelmate Drake at a recent show in Toronto while supporting Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale Tour.
Good wholesome family fun there.
