Nicki Minaj made an appearance at the 2023 Carnival in her home island of Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday, February 21st. The rapper wore a skin tight purple body suit that was styled by DiAndre Tristan. She also wore a beaded headpiece, fishnet tights, white sneakers, and a large set of feathered wings. She posted pictures of herself at the event and captioned it, “Thank you to TRIBE for this gorgeous costume,”
Meanwhile, just last week, she teamed up with Machel Montano and Destra to remix their single “Shake the Place,” where she reflects on her Caribbean roots rapping, “Trinidad my country, the greatest carnival of all time, I’m reppin’ that red, that white, that black / I’m reppin’ my real flag,”
When Minaj revealed the remix on February 18th via Instagram, she captioned the post, “If you f$&@ with ISLAND GIRLS rep your flag for me in the comments. Trinidad CARNIVAL is about to #ShakeThePlace shake up di whole place.”
