Nicki Minaj Performs Pink Friday Medley At The NBA All-Star Game

UPDATE-Fresh off her controversial Grammy performance the NBA All Star Game welcomed a medley performance from Nicki Minaj. The ‘Super Bass’ rapper walked out with a purple wig and a futuristic outfit at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. Minaj opened with ‘Moment 4 Life’ from her platinum selling debut album ‘Pink Friday’ and then her David Guetta’s collaboration ‘Turn Me On’. After the West lineup was announced and before the East lineup was introduced the hip hop star performed ‘Starships’..this time in a green wig. ‘Starships’ comes from Nicki’s yet released sophomore album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ and only adds to the debate that she’s no longer a certified hip hop artist.

Here are few fan reactions via MTV Rapfix,

@stopbeingfamous Nicki Minaj is just beginning to be wack to some people. astounding. she was from the gate.

@NMinajSupport People hating know they watched the #allstargame just for Nicki Minaj, knowing well they never watch Basketball, thanks for the views.

@livedreampinkIn February, Nicki Minaj has performed at The Superbowl, Grammys and NBA All-Star game. Has any other female rapper done that before..oh ok.

Minaj’s performance combined with her tepid choreography left much to be desired. Watch the performances below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
