4 minute read
They both have a reputation for diva-like tenancies.
But
the stage was just about big enough for both Ariana Grande and Nicki
Minaj on Friday night as they performed together at the iHeartRadio
Music Festival.
Dressed
up to the nines, the twosome bumped booties and happily danced opposite
each other as they performed their hit single Bang Bang, without Jessie
J.
Bumping booties: Ariana Grande and
Nicki Minaj were both on stage to perform at the iHeartRadio Music
Festival in Las Vegas on Friday night
Ariana
sported her favourite over-the-knee boots teamed with a black flared
mini skirt, matching crop top and cat's ears headgear for the show.
Nicki
was only a little more demure in a pair of ornately decorated leggings,
gold and black belt and black and gold bra plunging bra top which left
little to the imagination.
She wore her hair long and dark with bright pink lipstick completing the look.

above their heads.
At one point, Ariana followed Nicki's lead as the elder entertainer danced around for the audience.
Nicki
- who also performed her hit Anaconda and an acapella version of
Flawless Remix - no doubt had jaws dropping when she sat on a chair and
did the splits.
