Nicki Minaj attended the 2017 Met Gala at the Anna Wintour Costume Center in New York City this year, and she grabbed the opportunity to take photos with the likes of Gigi Hadid, Jourdan Dunn and even the Olsen twins. Queen Barbz also turned heads in her black and red dress by H&M.

On Monday, Minaj took to Instagram to share a couple of snaps she took from the gala, where she socialized with fashion models, designers and celebs who were in attendance at the fundraising event for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. She started her streak of uploads with photos of herself taken when she arrived at the event. In the caption, she credited the Swedish clothing-retail company for her sultry attire, which is tight-fitting on the front but has a long black and red cape at the back.

Meek Mill’s ex then uploaded the pictures she took with some of the big names at the event. In one snap, she can be seen posing with model Jourdan Dunn while getting ready for the fundraiser. Minaj sports an H&M robe in the photo since she has yet to put on her outfit for the event. The rapper called the H&M model “my baby” in the caption and revealed that the latter has her “heart.”

Minaj also posed for the camera alongside Victoria’s Secret Angel Gigi Hadid, who rocked a stylish peach dress. Just a few days ago, Hadid gave a shoutout to the Trinidadian-born rapper for gracing the cover of V magazine’s special edition that also serves as the first installment of the 22-year-old celeb’s photo journal.

Other personalities she stumbled upon at the Met Gala were fashion designers and former child actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, multi-awarded actress Halle Berry, Valentino founder Valentino Garavani and Hollywood couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

Meanwhile, Minaj brought good news to her fans prior to heading to the fundraising event. She apparently revealed on social media that she’s one of the performers at this year’s Billboard Music Awards, which is scheduled to happen on Sunday, May 21. However, she did not reveal which songs she’s planning to perform live at the awards show. Nevertheless, Barbz were very pleased with the announcement.

Just a day prior, many of Minaj’s fans voiced their disappointment over the delayed release of her “Regrets In Your Tears” music video on Jay Z’s streaming service Tidal. The Young Money artist initially promised her fans that she’ll be dropping her short film on Sunday. Many patiently waited until the final hours of the day, but their efforts did not pay off due to a delay of the release of the music video.

Minaj updated her fans saying that they can expect the video on Monday morning, but then another setback caused another delay. This time, Minaj took to Twitter to explain that just when they were about to release the video, she noticed that her nipples were apparently exposed in the final shot. An hour passed and the music clip was finally launched on Tidal. Aside from the release of the short film, Minaj also addressed the media, informing the latter that her fans will from now on be called The Kingdom and not Barbz as she has crowned herself the queen of rap.
