Nicki Minaj Performs ‘Shake The Place’ For Trinidad Carnival Crowd
Nicki Minaj is at home in her native Trinidad for their annual Carnival celebration – and she has been giving her country a show!
The Young Money rapper performed her new verse on Machel Montano and Destra’s “Shake The Place (Remix)” during one of her appearances, and shared the high-energy footage to Instagram on Wednesday (February 22).
Quite fitting for the occasion, the opening bars of the track start off with, “Trinidad my country, the greatest carnival of all time/I’m reppin’ that red, that white, that black/ I’m reppin’ my real flag.”

The day prior, Minaj shared a video alongside Montano and Destra and said she wished her late father could witness the legendary moment.
“LEGENDARY FOOTAGE WITH THE GREATS OF MY COUNTRY,” she captioned the video. :I COULDN’T BE MORE PROUD IF I TRIED. I REPPIN DAT RED DAT WHITE DAT BLACK I REPPIN MY REAL FLAG. wish my grandmother was alive to see this. Wish daddy was alive to see this. See you tmrw, Trinidad.”
Seemingly off hiatus, Nicki Minaj also announced the March return of her fan-favorite, Queen Radio.
Queen Radio initially launched on Beats 1 Radio in 2018 to promote her fourth studio album of the same name. In a 2021 interview, she reveled she left the network but would be bringing the show elsewhere.
According to Nicki, Apple Music’s Global Creative Director Larry Jackson gave his blessing for the rapper to explore new channels, and she announced last March that she’d be bringing the radio program to the Amazon app in an exclusive partnership.
“#QueenRadio 3/3 @3pm PST Bad gyal don’t die die die. Hunnit rounds on dat gratata,” Nicki wrote on Instagram alongside a thirst trap in a blue bikini.
Queen Radio will now live on Amazon’s new live audio app called Amp, which launches February 22.
