Nicki Minaj brought out Cyndi Lauper as a special guest during her recent show in Brooklyn.
On Wednesday night, the rapper surprised fans by inviting the music icon to join her on stage as a guest artist during her concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
The pair performed Nicki’s 2023 song Pink Friday Girls, which features a sample of Cyndi’s iconic song Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
After Cyndi, 70, took to the stage, the duo walked hand in hand down Nicki’s runway before launching into the song.
According to footage shared by a fan on social media, The Super Bass rapper, 41, paused halfway through the song to tell the crowd to “make some noise for this icon, this legend”.
After their performance, Nicki and the True Colors hitmaker shared a sweet embrace.
“I have been speaking about this woman in my interviews since I first began rapping,” Nicki said, according to a clip on TikTok.
Cyndi’s surprise appearance at the concert comes days after the Super Freaky Girl rapper performed with Drake at her concert in Toronto on Tuesday. The pair performed their collaborative track Needle.
Nicki is currently in the middle of the North American leg of her world tour and will next perform in New Orleans on 8 May. She will kick off the European leg of her tour on 23 May in Amsterdam.
