TikTok sensation Nia Ivy has just added another crown to her collection of iconic impressions, and this time, it involves a Grammy-winning pop queen and a whole lot of Pink Friday energy. While backstage at Ariana Grande’s “Here at the R.E.M.” beauty launch, Nia casually whipped out her viral Nicki Minaj impression—in front of Ariana herself.
The moment, captured in a now-viral video, had fans doubled over in laughter as Nia embodied Nicki’s bold cadence and larger-than-life attitude while Ariana looked on with a giggle (and maybe a little fear?).

@ms__lost perfectly summed it up with a comment under the clip:
“That’s actually funny 😂”—and that might be the understatement of the week.
The internet's chaotic reaction? Predictably priceless.
The internet loses it after a viral moment between Nia Ivy and Ariana Grande serves Nicki Minaj realness—and chaos
As expected, fans had a lot to say about Nia Ivy’s fearless decision to bring the Barbz energy straight to Ariana’s face. Whether they were stanning, side-eyeing, or straight-up cackling, no one stayed silent.
“You can tell Ariana hated it lmfao” -@BoujeeNcvnt
@harryshouse3 noted Ariana’s ever-so-subtle body language that screamed, “What is happening rn?”
“Notice how Ariana paid oinka dust 😂😂”
Because ignoring the Minaj energy in the room? That’s a crime against camp.
“Close enough! Perform Get On Your Knees!!!”
@x_jjh1 posted alongside a GIF of a man aggressively pointing a gun at the screen, because obviously we all demand a full Ariana x Nicki performance now.
“The closest thing to Nickiana that we’ll ever get again (thank god)” —@arianaunext
A backhanded compliment? Maybe. Accurate? Also, maybe.
“Oh she made thee Ariana Grande laugh she won” — @TayBeyDefender
In internet currency, a genuine laugh from a pop star = platinum status.
“Nia really snapped with that one.” — @SirTopiano
A seal of approval from the general court of TikTok excellence.
With reactions ranging from slightly unhinged to full-on shrieking, it’s clear: Nia Ivy knows how to keep the internet entertained.
Who is Nia Ivy, and why did this moment break the internet?
Nia Ivy isn’t new to internet fame—she’s a comedian and TikTok creator with a loyal following thanks to her uncanny impersonations, especially her signature take on Nicki Minaj. She’s previously gone viral for mimicking Nicki’s iconic interviews and exaggerated enunciation, turning her into a favorite among Barbz and casual scrollers alike.
The latest viral moment happened at a launch event for Ariana Grande’s beauty brand, where the pop star invited creators and influencers for an up-close experience. Nia Ivy seized the moment and launched into her Nicki impression—right next to Ariana, who couldn’t help but chuckle, though some fans think the laughter was more nervous than amused.
This impromptu performance brought back nostalgic vibes of the Nicki-Ariana era—aka the time of hits like “Side to Side,” “Bang Bang,” and “Get On Your Knees.” While Nicki and Ariana haven’t collaborated publicly in a while, their musical chemistry is still beloved, and Nia’s impression managed to revive the magic (with a comedic twist).
Whether you think Ariana was into it or internally panicking, the moment went down as peak internet content—chaotic, slightly awkward, and totally unforgettable.
