Selena Gomez's tough-girl rap for MTV EMAs

Selena Gomez has proved her hip-hop credentials by rapping in a new promo for her upcoming hosting gig at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs).

The 19 year old star, who will present the ceremony in Belfast, Northern Ireland, dons baggy trousers and a bandana on her head to portray her tough alter ego in the hilarious advert.

The video opens with the disclaimer message, "Some of the Selenas in this video are fictional. Any similarities to the actual Selena are purely coincidental."

Gomez is then confronted by her evil twin, who makes 'gangsta' gestures as she raps, "Who else better than me to be hosting the show? People know who the eff I is/ I'm a pro... Who's the hostess with the mostess?/ I'm gonna be the focus/ S-E-L-E-N-A to the Gomez/ Yeah, you know I'm the dopest."

Justin Bieber's girlfriend even curses in the clip - but her young fans have been spared by censor images covering her mouth.

The EMAs will take place on 6 November (11).
