The MTV EMAs don't want none unless you've got buns, hon. And, luckily Nicki Minaj can deliver. Today (Sept. 30), it was announced that the "Anaconda" rapper will not only be performing at the MTV Europe Music Awards but she will also be hosting this year's ceremony.
Minaj made the exciting hosting announcement on her Instagram, alongside a very regal looking promo photo.
"So excited to announce that I will not only perform, but I have the honorable task of HOSTING this year's MTV European Music Awards!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! The show will shoot in GLASGOW, SCOTLAND for its 20th Anniversary ON NOVEMBER 9th!!!! Find us @mtvema and Vote at mtvema.com"

Minaj may be new to the hosting game, but she's not the first musician to host the MTV EMAs. In recent years, LMFAO's Redfoo, Selena Gomez, Ludacris and Justin Timberlake have all hosted the show.
In addition to performing and hosting the MTV EMAs, Minaj is nominated for four awards: Best Female, Best Hip-Hop, Biggest Fans and Best Look.
She ties One Direction, Sam Smith, Eminem, Kiesza and Iggy Azalea, who are also nominated for four awards apiece.
But, Katy Perry is leading the MTV EMA nominations, chalking up seven nods. Perry is up for Best Song ("Dark Horse"), Best Pop, Best Female, Best Live, Best Video ("Dark Horse") and Best Look. Ariana Grande, 5 Seconds Of Summer and Pharrell Williams are also heavily nominated, with Grande earning six nods and 5SOS and Pharrell following with five.
