Rapper, singer, global icon and cultural provocateur Nicki
Minaj on Friday announced that she will perform to open the 2015 "MTV
Video Music Awards," airing on MTV Base (DStv channel 322) on Monday 31
August at 7PM. Slyly poking
fun at the latest gossip headlines, Minaj made the revelation to her 32 million
followers on Instagram by posting an image of an adorable, tiny, gestating…MTV
Moonman.
Having just concluded her global, sold-out tour, The Pinkprint Tour,
Minaj returns to a VMA stage that she can rightfully call home. Minaj
made her VMA debut in the 2010 "MTV Video Music Awards" pre-show, took
to the main stage in 2012 to join Alicia Keys on "Girl on Fire", and
bounced through a performance of her mega-hit "Anaconda" in 2014.
The 2015 MTV VMAs will feature Miley Cyrus as host. In addition,
Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Pharrell Williams, Demi Lovato, Macklemore &
Ryan Lewis, Tori Kelly, A$AP Rocky and Twenty One Pilots are confirmed to
perform. Presenters will be announced at a later date.
In addition, MTV has teamed up with world-renowned fashion
designer Jeremy Scott to redesign the MTV Moonman for the 2015 “MTV Video Music
Awards”. As homage to Jeremy and his
creative talent, the 2015 VMA Moonman encapsulates the true iconic essence of
both the fashion designer and the network. From the distinct color of the TV
color bars, to the peace sign necklace, to Jeremy’s signature sneakers, the
redesign of statue is part of MTV’s long-standing history of bridging the gap
between the world of fashion and music.
Artistes who win a 2015 “Video Music Award” will take home a
special-edition Jeremy Scott Moonman, which was created exclusively for this
year’s show.
The 2015 “MTV Video Music Awards” will air across MTV's global
network of channels in more than 160 countries and territories, reaching more
than half a billion households around the world.
The “MTV Video Music Awards” will air across Africa on /MTV Base on
Monday 31 August at 6PM (pre-show) and 7PM (main show).
