Nicki Minajis stepping intoAndy Cohen’s shoes.
During part three of theReal Housewives of Potomacreunion, which aired Sunday night, the “Anaconda” rapper made asurprise appearanceand assumed the hosting role. Nicki, 38,expressed her interest in guest hosting the reunionearlier in season 6, but host Andy had told the cast she wasn’t able to make it.
“It has been a long season. It’s been a long night. We still have some stuff to do. This is a little unheard of, but I need some tequila. Can someone bring me some tequila?” Andy, 53, said, before Nicki stepped onto the set with a bottle.
“I love you Andy, thank you,” she said. “I cannot believe Andy’s letting me do this. Tonight I am Andiana Minaj.”

Earlier in the episode, Andy went into the star’s dressing room to prep her for the big moment, teasing that the Housewives were going to “flip out” when they saw her.
“We’ve been shooting for hours, we’re all a little ragged,” he said. “You are going to do your own thing. Anyone that you feel like when you walk out there, should be like ‘uh oh’?”
“Possibly Ashley. Child, when she walked her butt up out of that house … to ream somebody about their husband and family, I wasn’t feeling that,” she said, referencing thedrama from the group’s trip to Williamsburg.
Nicki also said she may talk to Candiace, 34, about her burgeoningmusic career.
“People said to me that if I spoke to Candiace about her music that she might be sad or take it the wrong way, but I don’t think she should take it the wrong way,” she told Andy.

“Well, I’m excited because you actually can take sides and you’re actually going to say your opinions,” he said of temporarily giving up his hosting role.
“Everybody hear that? So don’t be telling me that I did my job wrong — Andy gave me permission that I can take sides,” Nicki teased as Andy confirmed, “Yes, you can.”
When it came time for her to begin hosting, Nicki didn’t hold back or waste any time when it came to grilling each of the cast members on their season 6 behavior — but she did give a warning first.
“Now, before we start, y’all, I want to tell you, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t love and respect you, okay? I love the show,” she said. “So, even though I have a job to do, asking you questions, you should just have fun with it. Because these are questions courtesy of me and the Barbz.”

Then Nicki asked about Ashley and Gizelle’s confrontation with Wendy, 37, in Williamsburg over some false blog rumors that her husband Eddie was cheating.
“No, no, no,” Ashley, 33, protested, but Nicki continued, “You ain’t lug your breast milk down there to start some drama, to be petty, so you can get more camera time?”
“No Nicki, Nicki, Nicki, listen,” Ashley began, but she was interrupted again.
“Are you going to dispute that?” Nicki said, causing Candiace to intervene on Ashley’s behalf.

“But she got work, we got work,” Candiace added, to which Nicki replied, “Woah, Candy girl.”
