Nicki Minaj’s ‘moment for life’ in Dubai debut

Award winning rapper, singer and song writer Nicki Minaj said this week she will never forget Dubai, the city where she performed last week in her debut concert in the UAE.

Playing on the name of her songs, she said the Dubai performance to be one of her “moments for life.”

Nicki performed at the Dubai Meydan Racecourse, where an audience comprising of the young to the old arrived on Friday to watch the singer, who has become known for monopolizing a male-dominated industry - rap.

The star told the press about how she much enjoyed the audience, and her love for Dubai.

“I really wish I could just hug them and stuff,” she said “They were so cute and so much fun. This is one of my moments for life, like I will never forget it. I will never forget my first time in Dubai and I would love to thank them for allowing me to experience this moment,” she told Gulf News.

The audience and critics were surprised however when Nicki stepped on the stage, donning a more conservative, covered choice of attire than what she usually wears in live concerts around other parts of the world.

Stepping on stage, Nicki shouted out a message to her audience: “Do not drop out of school and do not give your cookies out to every Tom, Dick and Harry. I am so proud of each and every one of you.”

Nicki later went performed her smash hits “Moment for life,” then “Bottoms up” and “Super Bass.”
