Rising star: Nicki performed hits including Super Bass and Moment 4 Life as well as new releases including Starships during her medley performance
Super Bass: The singer/MC performed at the game with a troupeof shirtless backing dancers
Making beautiful music together? The singer puckered up to Lil Wayne, with whom she has just collaborated on a new single, Roman Reloaded
Boys club: Pitbull and Chris Brown also took to the stage for a halftime performance***
She was the star (off-court) attraction at last night's NBA All-Star game, and in typical style Nicki Minaj ensured all eyes were firmly on her.
Just a week after making headlines her walking the red carpet at the Grammys with a 'Pope' for a date and angering Catholics with her 'exorcism' performance, the singer/MC toned things down without losing any of her eye-catching and unique style.
The 29-year-old stormed the stage at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida wearing a skintight white leather catsuit and boots, embellished with futuristic silver skirting that emphasised her famous curves.
While Miss Minaj's fellow bootylicious stars like Beyoncé and J-Lo are usually seen wearing slimming ensembles that balance out their behinds, Nicki adorned her derriere with the sequinned material that drew the eye.
She wore a straight green wig followed by purple and pink curly wigs for her performances.
Nicki belted out a medley of her hits including Super Bass and Moment 4 Life with newer releases Starships and Roman Reloaded, a reworking of her single Roman's Revenge with Lil Wayne.
The dueting duo greeted each other courtside amorously with a kiss on the lips as other artists also performed during the halftime show.
Chris Brown, Pitbull and Ne-Yo took to the stage to cheering fans as part of Miss Minaj's performance, while earlier Mary J. Blige kicked off proceedings with the Star Spangled Banner.
Nicki's All Star game appearance was substantially toned down compared to her headline-grabbing antics at the Grammys.
Despite an onslaught of backlash against her on-stage 'exorcism', the artist has hit back at her critics and defended the performance.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she said: 'I don’t know, what is the big issue? You know how people write plays and movies? That’s what I did.
'I wrote that and I gave the world a tiny little preview of what’s to come. And I have to perform it on the set in which the movie would be, right?'
