Hey Mama? Nicki Minaj Disappoints at Coachella Weekend Two

The second and final weekend of Coachella has ended, and one of the biggest surprise cameos surprised everyone for being so…boring.

Nicki Minaj walked on-stage during two separate shows yesterday – by David Guetta and Drake - drawing cheers from a crowd that obviously expected her to perform. However, disappointingly, Nicki’s appearances were only that – appearances.

First, she joined David Guetta to promote their new single “Hey Mama,” but opted to very briefly lip sync a verse instead of rapping it live. Afterwards, she waved, blew a kiss to the crowd, and left.

That routine felt pretty familiar just a few hours later when Nicki did the same thing during Drake’s set. Following his performance of her song “Truffle Butter,", Nicki walked out, hugged Drake, blew a kiss to the crowd and left.

The only interesting thing about the short cameo was Drake congratulating her, fueling current speculation that Nicki recently got engaged to rapper Meek Mill.

So leave it to Kanye to dominate Coachella’s unscheduled surprise appearance news. Just like Nicki Minaj, he hijacked two other artists’ shows – The Weeknd and Belgian artist Stromae – but unlike her, he actually performed.

If you're looking for a sure thing in terms of performances, Yahoo Live is streaming a special concert from Motley Crue member Nikki Sixx. His group, Sixx A.M. is performing with Apocalyptica at 6:15 p.m. PT. Check them out here.
