Nicki Minaj Performing at 2012 Grammy Awards

Awards season is upon us, and on Wednesday night (January 11) Nicki Minaj was confirmed as a performer at the 2012 Grammys. Minaj shared the news by simply retweeting TheGRAMMYs Twitter announcement, “Happy to welcome @nickiminaj as a first-time performer on our GRAMMY Awards stage on Feb. 12! #GRAMMYs.” She’ll have plenty of help from some of this year's other nominees.

Mnaj is nominated in four categories, including Best New Artist, where she'll be up against Bon Iver, Skrillex, J. Cole and the Band Perry. While many of the most decorated acts typically perform on the show, there is no word yet on whether the night's leading nominee, Kanye West, who has seven nods, will play on the show.
