LOS ANGELES, CA – AUGUST 30: Recording artist Nicki Minaj performs onstage during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards at Microsoft Theater on August 30, 2015 in Los Angeles, California.

Though Trinidad carnival has been over for months now, the country’s primer raptress, Nicki Minaj, was still playing mas,

taking to the MTV VMA stage in a festoon of feathers that was part Carnival Queen, part Josephine Baker banana skirt, and part Coming to America African dance.

Wearing fluffy boots to stalk and a sky-scraping Vegas-style headdress during her performance of “Trini Dem Girls,”

Minaj’s vibrant blood red costume was a flurry of strategically placed feathers and sequins. Perhaps she was still seething over the incendiary comments Miley Cyrus made in a recent interview—which the ever-

confrontational rapper publicly addressed moments after accepting her award for Best Rap Video. Whatever the case, being red with rage never looked better.
