Nicki Minaj Takes Over Times Square Wish Special Show

"Shutting down TIMES SQUARE!!!!!! Let's go #Nokia" superstar Nicki Minaj tweeted just before her performance in Times Square and shut it down she did.

Good Friday all of a sudden became Pink Friday when Nicki Minaj (and alter ego Roman) took the stage in Times Square to promote her new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, and the release of the remixed "Starships" video with DJ Doorly.

The clip doesn't hit YouTube until Saturday, but on Friday (April 6), Nicki riled up more than 1,000 fans who gathered to see the reigning rap queen rock an unannounced show, sponsored by Nokia.

It was 7:30 p.m. ET when the counter on the stage clock hit zero and the blue curtain revealed the Female Weezy in all her glory. Dressed in a blond wig, white collared shirt and black one-piece with tiger-striped stockings, Nicki set things off properly with her current top-five single "Starships."

Fans threw their hands up and danced, releasing all their anxiety from the hours that they waited. "Who's in love? Is anybody in love?" the Young Money star asked before launching into her Chris Brown-assisted midtempo "Right By My Side."

There was no Breezy, but Nicki made sure to bring that boom-ba-boom-boom with her when the beat for the infectious "Super Bass" dropped. The Harajuku Barbie danced and rapped, encouraging all her Barbz to sing along.

"It's an honor for me to be here tonight. I'm from New York," she said before announcing to the crowd that they will be filmed and that the footage will be used in her new "Starships" DJ Doorly remix video.

With only three songs performed, the show sure was short, but Nicki made sure everyone had a sweet time.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
