MTV VMAs 2020: Will there be a Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, Doja Cat collab? Fans say it would make 'history'
The MTV Video Music Awards are back for 2020 with glitzy performances from music stars on August 30 in the buzzing city of New York. Hosted by actress, singer and talk show personality Keke Palmer, this year's awards will have a starry lineup of performances from artists like Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, BTS and Doja Cat to name some. Not to mention that it could be a special night for Ariana and Gaga who have bagged the most nominations scoring nine each. However, before the awards night can reach its peak, it seems the excitement has already hit several notches higher. Fans streaming the award live have taken to social media to wonder if they are in luck of getting a Nicki Minaj, Ariana and Doja collab, though nothing has been said officially.
A fan in support of this collab wrote on Twitter, “We want Doja, Nicki and Ariana.”

Another concurred that word on the street is the trio should have a collab, “Streets saying Ariana x Doja x Nicki soon.”
Some felt that it would be a defining moment for the awards if the three performed together and fans even have a nickname for their collab-DNA. "Doja Nicki and Ariana wont just be a song, it will be a moment. It will be in the history books. It’ll be the most powerful and impactful piece of work the world will ever see. More important than everything else or even the big bang. DNA will dominate."

Others were wondering what could be the best moment in their collab be. “When Ariana & Doja transition performances into one & Nicki shows up in an all white diamond dress from under the stage & they perform DNA & Nicki announces the lead single & baby Nicki says ‘hi mommy’ in the distance shattering Twitter & the internet.”

Since the awards are happening during the pandemic, adequate social distancing measures regarding Covid-19 are in place with “limited on no audience”. Among the first awards of the night, BTS and Machine Gun Kelly picked up a few, with the Korean stars taking home Best Group and Best K-pop, while the US rapper walked away with Best Alternative.
