VMAs 2014: Nicki Minaj Narrowly Avoids a Wardrobe Malfunction

Aug 24, 2014 9:57pm

Nicki Minaj narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction at the MTV Video Music Awards.

During her performance of “Bang Bang” alongside Ariana Grande and Jessie J., Minaj clutched her revealing black dress shut throughout the number, just barely avoiding a not-safe-for-TV moment.

It wouldn’t have been her first jaw-dropping moment of the night. Before that, the rapper performed her new song, “Anaconda” wearing little more than a green sparkly bra and matching shorts.

Her dance moves were even more provocative — though, she told “Good Morning America,” the song is meant to have a powerful message.

“I wanted to reinstate something,” Minaj told ABC News. “Because of the shift in pop culture, even hip-hop men are really glorifying the less curvy body.

“I wanted to say, ‘Hey ladies, you’re beautiful,’” she continued. “Hopefully, this changes things and maybe it won’t change things, but I love it.”
