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 pink 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.
