Nicki Minaj Shuts Down Times Square For "Secret" NOKIA Lumia 900 Concert, Drops "Beez In The Trap" Video

Apr 07 | by Natasha

Nicki Minaj ended her very busy Good Friday with a "secret" concert at Times Square...all to help Nokia celebrate their official launch of its Lumia 9000 phone. But it wasn't too much of a secret as tens of thousands of fans showed up and shut down the area.

Pics inside, plus her brand new "Beez In The Trap" video ....

Nokia teamed up with the tiger tights wearing Nicki Minaj to bring a building in Times Square alive and create one of the biggest LED displays ever seen to celebrate the launch of the Windows Phone-based Nokia Lumia 900 (available exclusively in North America from AT&T on April 8).

Nicki belted out a medley of her tracks while she simultaneously shot her "Starships Remix" video. Footage from this concert will serve as Nokia's exclusive remix to the "Starships" video.

And over at the afterparty:

Nicki said about the big concert:

“To see the idea on paper was amazing but to see it for real blew me away. It brought Times Square to a standstill. The absolute bonus for me is that my fans, who have been so loyal to me, are now part of the video for the Starships Nokia remix."

“Performing in my home town of NYC the same week as the release of my new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is amazing and it really is a dream come true.”

Pics of the Roman Reloaded hawking chick arriving back to her hotel as she signed autographs for fans:

I see this lacefront and these outfits just aren't going to get any better. Oh wells. I'm sure her Barbz & Kenz appreciate it...

And Nicki's brand new video for her "Beez In The Trap" single ft. 2 Chainz (from her new Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded LP) is here. The visuals were shot in Miami by director Benny Boom:

You feelin' it?

BONUS: Rah Digga just dropped a diss track called "The N*gga In Me" against Tyler The Creator and Fat Trel of Odd Future. It's all a sport to her, but she wanted to send the boys a message about respect after they've dissed her and MC Lyte several times on wax. She put out a statement saying:

"I didn't make this record for press purposes or for hype cuz that's not my thing. I got wind of various artists referencin me in a negative fashion. They poked fun at me I'm just pokin back. Its all sport to me. I wish em all the best, they just need to understand who is off limits. MC Lyte is off limits. Rah Digga is off limits. Respect those who kept hip hop raw so that we could still have a culture or get a first hand lesson in a lyrical ass whoopin. Love is love." - Rah Digga

With almost eveiythrng which

With almost eveiythrng which appears to be developing throughout this particular subject matter, many of your viewpoints are generally very exciting. Nevertheless, I appologize, but I do not give credence to your entire idea, all be it radical none the less. It seems to us that your commentary are generally not entirely justified and in simple fact you are generally your self not really wholly certain of the argument. In any event I did enjoy examining it.

FIRST ... That RAH DISS

FIRST ... That RAH DISS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A THREAD ALL IN TO ITS SELF..fucking awesome.. HEY TWEENS, THIS IS WHAT HIP HOP SOUNDS LIKE!! Hey to you Onika fans, I wont throw shade her way, I will reserve it all for yall brainwashed sheeple! How can you listen to the bitch and say shes a lyricist.. have you heard STARSHIPS! .. WTF kinda jersey shore fist pumping bullshit is that!? seriously never in the history of hip hop would that bullshit fly in the black community as good music. We all saw that grammy fail, and hear the horrible songs, but b/c you damn sheeple keep hypin this bitch up to some un deserved stardom, the whole world is acting like she has talent! .. matter of fact, I apologize... the MEDIA(THE CRIME BOSSES) started shoving this ho in your faces three years ago, and shoving her wack music down your throat with no other main stream female rap alternative. Sure the beats are catchy, as they always are when the words being spoken equal to about the worth of a used tampon! They managed to trick you into believing the hype cause she was on the radio and on the tv every time you turned around... shes a fucking pawn.. a puppet. In 18 months I guarantee you wont hear the name Minaj anymore, she would have been replaced by a new more desperate for fame puppet... go ask GAGA how she's liking sitting on the shelf for now cuz its Nikkis time to shine and you dumb muthafukkas are all in the light.. GTFOH!

Sad thing is the beat bangs and the song will get stuck in your head but she ain't talking about a damn thing! Music is so dumbed down these days no wonder this nursery rhyme b.s. gets much airplay. Designed to keep folks at a 6th grade level they say but now a days it's more like pre-school. #troubled.

This Sike-A-Dike phenomenon

This Sike-A-Dike phenomenon is bothersome. Nicki knows she doesn't like females, so why play around with that kind of imagery in the video, or say things about wanting girls to approach her, when that's not what she's into?

Um, since you put them in the same thread. Rah just sonned these young fools like you will respect me in the same way that Kim did Nic in the song she dropped. Neither had to continue to take shots but you will respect me. Nicki is growing in the same way Gaga did. A couple of years later and Gaga is not winning any buzz or awards. And her CDs were so big. She was so popular. I guess Telephone with Bey could even hold up her career on permanent. And Luv Madonna and blond wigs will NOT hold up the nonlyrical hip pop career of miss Onika.

There are some strikingly beautiful black women everywhere, of all the dark skinned ones out there, they chose this busted one to appear in the video. On the bottom right corner in the group at the beginning of the video. Her face is greasy, and does she really have on BRACES in a music video!? YO, they straight played her! Also the one sitting next to Nick on her left looks like a damn MAN.

I am no Nicki Stan, like some of her older hits. But, if you don't get why people like the chick or you're not trying to expand your mind to figure it out, why even come on her post? I mean, this had no side note, no inclusions, no featured artist( aside from 2 chainz)...This is clearly a nicki Minaj post! The extent people will go out of their way to make their opinions known. I know people may not care in your actual life, but we damn sure don't care online. Have a seat in a stadium!

I don't listen to nicki's

I don't listen to nicki's music but I really like how she took it back..to like '88 on this track. I still think she is confused, don't know if she wants her followers to be "fans" or "barbz" or whatever, she needs to ask Gaga how she goes about naming her followers and sticking to one or the other...anyway, the video fits her...I feel she is more video girl, than lunatic with all the faces and crap
