All girl group Little Mix might have earned fame in the United Kingdom but sadly they could never leave a lasting impression here. However, the group’s former member Jesy Nelson is planning to change all of that as she has now set her eyes on 2021 MTV VMAs. The British crooner, who is all geared up to release her debut single ‘Boyz’ very soon, apparently is very eager to cement her position in the US market.

The 30-year-old crooner’s new solo single also features hip-hop queen Nicki Minaj and taking complete advantage of the collaboration, Jesy is eyeing to hit the stage at the coveted award ceremony all set to take place on Sunday, September 12. Speaking of the mega-event, the award show is returning to New York City’s Barclays Center after a gap of 13 years. 2021 MTV VMAs will also host a live audience at the venue.
