Right after their amazing performance of "Bang Bang" at the VMAs, Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj released the official video for the song. It features lots of bright colors, neon, bra tops, and dancing montages in the street — so, all the sexy, girly fun times you were hoping for.

Nicki Minaj may have had to literally hold her dress closed during the VMAs, but something else happened on Sunday that presumably negated any strife caused by her malfunctioning outfit. Apparently, Beyoncé, humble queen of our nation, visited Nicki in her dressing room and presented her with a diamond necklace that spells out the word "FLAWLESS." Are you dead yet?
The pair collaborated earlier this month on the "Flawless" remix, which Beyoncé briefly touched upon in her 16-minute VMAs medley (she sang the elevator line, naturally). "If Beyoncé didn't walk into your dressing room and give you a diamond 'FLAWLESS' necklace, then there's no way you could be having a better week than me," Nicki wrote on Instagram. "Thank u QUEEN. Ur just a precious gem. I could never thank you enough for your influence on powerful women all around the world." Then she hashtagged it #WeFlawless, and everyone on the planet imploded from a mixture of jealousy and happiness.

Few things are more fun than cute videos of celebrities as kids, right? The clip shows a young Nicki, then P.S. 45 student Onika Maraj, listing her career goals. With a sassy pivot to the camera (and an also-sassy pink hair clip), she says she'd like to be a nurse, so "I could help people less fortunate than I am." The YouTube video then cuts to clips of her twerking from her "Anaconda" music video, which is rather unnecessary, because if nothing else the experience certainly helped Drake.
And besides, Nicki did dress up as a nurse that one time she filmed the "Up Out My Face" music video with Mariah Carey. Everything worked out just as lil' Onika planned, I'm sure. So there.
