AMAs 2012: Nicki Minaj Is Hip/Hop Artist Of The Year!

You make us proud, Little Nicki!
After a bootylicious bizarrely buffered performance with Justin Bieber earlier in the night, the Starship singer won the top hip-hop honors at the American Music Awards!
Nicki Minaj did her Barbs proud, beating out fellow Young Money crew members Drake and Tyga for the oddly shaped trophy!
We won’t lie, she looked a lil’ under the influence of something when she made her acceptance speech!
Maybe it was nerves, maybe it was joy, maybe it was six bottles of champagne… we won’t judge!
Congratz, gurlie!!
