Nicki Minaj shows off word perfect Northern Irish accent on the Late Late Show with James Corden

Nicki Minaj temporarily took over The Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday night.

But what she did while she was "hosting" the popular American chat show was even more spectacular - the singer tried her hand at a Northern Irish accent, and got it spot on.

As Belfast-born Kenneth Branagh was appearing on the same show to promote his film 'Belfast', James Corden asked Nicki Minaj if she could try to do a Belfast accent, while showing off his own.

He said: "Can you do an Irish accent? Kenneth Branagh's here tonight, he made that film 'Belfast'. Lets see if you can say this: 'Get out now, so it is.'"

Asking James Corden multiple times to repeat what he said, as she couldn't make it out, she very quickly picked it up and was soon showing off a word perfect Northern Irish accent.

In a clip shared on TikTok, that currently has 11,000 likes and 66,000 views, those commenting said they were "shook" to hear her pitch perfect Belfast accent.

One commenter said: "Nailed it" while another added: "Do we sound like that?"
