Check out Nicki’s past “SNL” appearance right here…
Nicki previously popped up on the broadcast three years ago.
Nicki performed on the show back in 2011, delivering her Pink Friday singles “Moment 4 Life” and “Right Thru Me.” She even appeared in a skit called the “Bride of Blackenstein” and a digital short with The Lonely Island called “The Creep,” so hopefully she’ll tap into one of her many alter egos for some more fun this time around.

Earlier this month, rap star Kendrick Lamar performed his buzzing “i” single on “Saturday Night Live.”
For his first set, Lamar brought out a full live band and a chorus of backup singers for the as-yet-unnamed new album’s first single, the Isley brothers-sampling “i.” Wearing creepy black contacts and punctuating the beat with frenetic, jerking choreography, Lamar dedicated the song to his homies in the pen.

The rap heavyweight also raised eyebrows with his on-screen “SNL” attire.
Not only did Kendrick appear in a skit called “Young Tarts & Old Farts, but the Compton rapper performed twice, including a performance with Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk and rapper Jay Rock. While the rapping was on point, of course, one of the most notable parts of Kendrick’s triumphant return was his attire: The Compton star rocked his hair half-braided and wore all black contacts in his eyes.
