The two-day iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas saw amazing opening performances from Coldplay, Taylor Swift and Usher. The following events were even hotter, which included sexy hip shaking duet performances by Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.

Friday night in Las Vegas witnessed a peppy performance on Bag Bang given by two of the hottest leading ladies of the music world at present. The audience got a real surprise treat watching the two ladies bumping and grinding on the stage, as reported by Mirror.

Minaj performed wonderfully by constantly keeping the crowd on their feet. Keeping up with her reputation, Minaj also got up close and personal with a back-up dancer and showcased some gyration as she performed Anaconda.

"iHeartRadio, do we have a problem?" Minaj quipped in between her performance, followed by familiar snare beat of "Bang Bang". Grande then made her surprise entry, which made the crowd get even crazier.

The two talented singers performed a duet while some bootilicious moves and grinding thrown in, along with their electrical chemistry, did not fail to excite the crowd.

The two pretty ladies were complimenting each other with Grande sporting a black mini-skirt with knee high boots and Minaj in a figure hugging patterned legging with a sparkling black bralet. Check out the same in the video below.

Minaj is facing the indirect impersonation directed at her by another pop star royalty, Miley Cyrus, as the latter has often been seen faking a big bump after the former's hit song 'Anaconda' was released. In fact, Cyrus' imitation of the infamous moves landed her in serious trouble as Mexican officials are currently after her for disrespecting the Mexican flag.

The 31-year-old American rapper and singer, Minaj, is considered the most influential female rapper of all times, as told by New York Times. Her colorful wigs and costumes have instantly made her a fashion icon.

Billboard shared that the iHeart Radio Festival was a hit and would be one of the most memorable events in the lives of all those lucky few who got the tickets.
