La Familia: Nicki Minaj Brings Along Lil Wayne, Drake, Foxy Brown For NYC Show

If you ever doubted it, now you know that Nicki Minaj is good on her word. That controversial canceled Summer Jam performance wasn't a bleep on her radar last night when she brought her family out to party with her in New York. The Young Money rapper took the stage at Roseland Ballroom on Tuesday night (August 13) for a set that ran well over 2 hours, and just when it seemed like she might be rocking solo, she brought out a few guests, beginning with Foxy Brown, then adding her Young Money family Drake and Lil Wayne. Minaj hit the stage at 9:30 p.m. for the Pepsi-sponsored show (part of the brand's "Live for Now" campaign), which was live-streamed online and broadcast on the big screen in Times Square. Sporting a long blond wig and a skintight pink, blue and black-and-white striped leotard, she kicked things off with tracks like "Roman's Revenge" and "Did It on 'Em," flanked by her backup dancers in their colorful garb. The LED screens behind her reflected neon colors as she continued with hits like "Stupid H--" and riled up the crowd with her verses on Big Sean's "Dance (A$$)" and 2 Chainz's "I Love Dem Strippers." "Pound the Alarm" was another energy booster, after which Nicki took a break, changed into a white gown and returned to the stage, telling her Barbz that she wanted to have story time. It was at this point that Nicki turned the spotlight on the crowd, asking her fans to throw dirty looks at those who had come to judge her. "I just want my fans here, 'cause I don't want people to come and observe me," she yelled to the crowd. "If you didn't come here to have a good time, go home!" What was left at this point, but to bring out Lil Wayne? The man who had the final word on Nicki Minaj pulling out of her headlining slot at Summer Jam made an appearance just to make things official. Telling the crowd "I'm very proud of this young lady," Wayne was sans skateboard but had a ball kicking it with Drake when they performed "The Motto." Minaj was all smiles and giggles at this point, having her family by her side. To close out the show, she gave a shout-out to Taylor Swift, who so enthusiastically shared "Super Bass" with her fanbase, helping the track skyrocket and become a hit for Minaj. It was the most appropriate way to close out the night.
