Carnival is celebrated on Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday in Trinidad with a barrage of parties, road marches, and colorful and shiny costumes. This is not the first time Minaj is doing Carnival, as she has been traveling to the country over the years and serving inspiring looks to Carnival-goers.
The visit comes ahead of Nicki Minaj joining Machel Montano and Destra Garcia on her first soca record, “Shake The Record.” The song was released on Friday on YouTube and across radio stations and among Carnival deejays.
Minaj is likely to participate in Carnival festivities which include parties on Sunday, a road march with costumes on Monday, and J’Ouvert on Tuesday. The artist’s Trinidad fans shared videos they caught of her, while others reacted with glee on social media.
“Mother has arrived!” one fan wrote.
