Image: Rosé Instagram Rosé, the beloved BLACKPINK member, is still reeling in disbelief after receiving a staggering eight nominations at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards - her very first as a solo artist. The recognition comes from her breakout collaboration with Bruno Mars on the track 'APT' - a genre-bending hit that has quickly become one of the most celebrated releases in recent times. The South Korean singer-songwriter, known for her powerhouse vocals and emotional depth, shared her raw reaction in a heartfelt video posted to her Instagram Story shortly after the nominations were announced. 'So I've just heard that I've received eight VMA nominations,' she said, visibly overwhelmed. 'I'm beyond shocked and just don't know what to say. I'm speechless. This is a crazy day. Whoa.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Rosé's reaction has resonated deeply with fans around the world, many of whom have long hoped to see her shine as a solo artist on a global stage. The nominations not only mark a milestone in her solo journey but also position her as one of the most nominated South Korean artists in VMA history. The song has earned nominations in several of the VMAs' most prestigious categories, including Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop and Best Collaboration. The visually stunning music video, co-directed by Mars and filmmaker Daniel Ramos, has also been recognised in the Best Direction category. Behind the scenes, the team that brought the video to life is also getting its due. Elizabet Puksto scored a nomination for Best Art Direction, while Maksymilian Rafal Ojster received recognition in the Best Visual Effects category - a testament to the high-calibre creativity that powered the project. Rosé's nominations don't end there. She also received a nod for Best K-Pop for her solo track 'Toxic Till the End', a hauntingly beautiful ballad featuring actor and model Evan Mock. Notably, Rosé isn't the only BLACKPINK member making waves this year. Her fellow bandmates have also been honoured with solo nominations in the Best K-Pop category - a groundbreaking moment for the group as a whole. Jennie earned a nomination for 'Like JENNIE', Jisoo for 'Earthquake", and Lisa for her collaboration "Born Again' with Doja Cat and RAYE. For both Jennie and Jisoo, this marks their first-ever solo recognition at the VMAs. With eight nominations to her name, Rosé is among the top contenders heading into this year's ceremony - a significant achievement that signals her growing impact as an individual artist. Since debuting with the group in 2016 under YG Entertainment, Rosé, whose birth name is Roseanne Park, has become one of K-pop's most recognisable voices. Her solo debut in 2021 broke multiple records, and her artistry continues to evolve, blending pop, soul and R&B influences. Now with 'APT' and 'Toxic Till the End', Rosé is carving a bold new path - one that's being recognised on one of music's biggest stages.

She was part of rap group White Girl Mob, which included her friends V-Nasty and Lil Debbie. She released the music video for the song in 2011, and it immediately generated nearly three million views on YouTube in the first three weeks. Plus, the song was such a hit that it landed an MTV VMA nomination for Best New Artist. Now, the star, who is 35-years-old, has shown off her demure new look on social media. Natassia boasts 394,000 followers on the platform, and has posted a string of photos with her dark locks down, rocking bangs. In one video, she can be seen rocking a furry black coat, glasses and showing off her tattoos, while revealing her all black outfit. Then, in another revealing snap, the rapper dons an orange boiler suit and cheekily flicks her middle fingers up at the camera, displaying a white bra underneath. Natassia isn't afraid of a bold look, but her new nerdy look is different to the one she rocked back in her Gucci Gucci days. Watch star of iconic 00s album cover in Blink-182's What's My Age Again video The star once had a cropped blonde look, and was often spotted wearing slogan t-shirts. Natassia still performs, and in her latest photo she says: 'Yoooo internet s*** don't hit the same! Think I'm on my website s***! SO MAKE SURE U CHECK MY AND KEEP IT CLOCKIN. ALSO I HAVE TWO PERFORMANCES coming up in the BAY! i͙m͙ s͙o͙ n͙e͙r͙v͙o͙u͙s͙ REAL ONES STAY UP.' As well as their hit song Gucci Gucci, Kreayshawn and the group also produced songs like Pipe Down and Pizza Song, as well as some podcasts and clothing companies. In 2013, the star gave birth to a son named Desmond, but she tends to keep her private life away from the spotlight. She did talk about Desmond in 2016, saying: 'He's so funny and easy. He has his moments, but it's cool – me and his dad are friends. We raised him together and we split the week in half. 'He's hella musical, he makes up little songs. He's got like three songs that he's about to drop.' Natassia is also a businesswoman now, as well as a rapper and mum to Desmond. In 2016 it was revealed that she had a jewellery line and a radio show, started a female-only DJ Collective and even started tattooing. 5 Natassia is now a mum to a son named Desmond Credit: Getty
