I recently posted that Nicki Minaj had won two awards at the 40th annual American Music Awards, now here is some actual footage of the Barbie picking up both of her awards at the show, which took place on November 18th at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California.

In the clip above, Nicki can be seen giving a speech with Tyga behind her after being handed an award for “Favorite Artist – Rap/Hip-Hop” by 50 Cent and Hayden Panettiere. After the jump, you can watch Minaj give a speech after picking up her “Favorite Album – Rap/Hip-Hop” award for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded from Ne-Yo and Stacy Keibler.

At the end of the 2012 AMAs, rumors have been spreading online saying that Nicki Minaj and Drake have had a falling out. If you watched the awards show, you would of noticed that Nicki walked straight past Drizzy to give Tyga a hug, Drizzy looking sad throughout the whole show, and Nicki only bringing up Tyga to the stage when she won her award. I am not sure if this rumor is true or not, but I really hope it isn’t, or if it is, then Lil Wayne makes them both sort it out!
