Nicki Minaj helped open the MTV Video Music Awards with a "Bang" as she brought her Anaconda video to life with a rump-shaking performance and had a wardrobe malfunction when she performed with Ariana Grande and Jessie J.
Nicki first wore a green top and shorts, rapping, dancing and exciting the crowd -- except Rita Ora, who stared blankly when the camera panned by. But when |Nicki performed Bang Bang, the rapper was far more subdued as she held the front of her outfit together after a long split appeared.
Ariana kicked off the show with a performance of her EDM hit, Break Free in a Beyonce-inspired leotard.
Katy Perry won the first award, best female video for the hit Dark Horse.
"We are gonna party tonight," she said.
