WHILE Miley Cyrus might have brought twerking into the mainstream at last year’s MTV VMAs, Nicki Minaj proved the move is well and truly still alive.

Strutting across the stage in glittery green high-waisted briefs and a matching bra while performing her new single Anaconda, Minaj was forced to pluck many a wedgie as her large behind engulfed the tiny hot pants.

While the audience was shocked at the twerking, grinding performance, it was Rita Ora’s seriously unimpressed face that is already set to become the iconic gif of this year’s VMAs.

Like most watching the eye-popping performance, the fellow singer winced at the sight of the badonkadonk going on in front of her.

Other reactions from celebrities in the crowd were just as priceless, as was the banter from fans watching on television.

Kim Kardashian seemed to appreciate the cheeky display.

It appears as if Minaj might have decided against using a live snake during her performance after one of her dancers was bitten by a boa constrictor during rehearsals yesterday.

The six-foot long snake brought the mock performance to a halt when it slithered up to the woman and took a bite out of her, with fellow performers looking on in disbelief, TMZ reported.

The unnamed victim was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital for a check-up. The snake is believed to have featured in entertainment performances for 15 years and is not poisonous.

Minaj’s new video clip for Acaconda has broken Vevo records according to the rap artist, after she posted it had 19.6 million views in 24 hours, beating Miley Cyrus’s record for her famous song, Wrecking Ball.
