After donning a cheerleading outfit during the Super Bowl and putting on The Exorcist (the musical) at the 2012 Grammys, all eyes were on Nicki Minaj for her performance at the NBA All-Star Game. Even after criticism that her stage shows have become too over the top, Nicki performed a medley of hits including “Moment 4 Life” and “Starships” while dressed in a futuristic getup and bright purple wig. Fans who were hoping for a more toned down, hip-hop performance didn’t exactly get what they wanted, but they took to Twitter with a few mixed opinions on the set.
@LKCarelessWorld T H I S !!! RT @ChrisBrownation: The old hood Nicki Minaj SLAYS this new Lady Gaga Nicki Minaj. #ThatIsAll

@ThaDynasty93i wouldve rather seen Mary J Blige perform her whole first album than seen Nicki Minaj even once
@AndrewSiciliano The NBA All Star player introductions were hidden in a 20 minute NIcki Minaj concert. Few better ways to chase viewers to the Oscars...
@TaraDecoda: Nicki Minaj (re-)opened the door for female rappers, then walked out the room...
@StFuTwEEtin The old nicki Minaj will never appear again ...
@CardboardGerald I wish someone had tried to jump over nicki minaj during the dunk contest but failed
