Earlier tonight, everyone—including us—thought Nicki Minaj showed up on the red carpet at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in a pretty questionable outfit.

But, it's not her. And those gaudy, multi-colored outfit days are far behind her:

That person is Dencia, real name Reprudencia N. Sonkey, a Cameroonian-Nigerian singer/model/actress, best known for her hits "Beri Beri," "Super Girl," and more.
Apparently, people have confused them before,too:
people always get Dencia & Nicki mixed up, EVERY award show I don't understand
