Her fans, or Azaleans as she calls them, lined up in the rain hours before showtime to see the 23-year-old bombshell, who delivered a nearly hour-long set, complete with a live band and wardrobe changes.

As Amber Rose and her mentor T.I. looked on, she opened with her Steve Aiko collaboration “Beatdown,” twerked to “Bounce,” and took it back to her Ignorant Art days with the sexually-explicit “Pu**y.”

The audience couldn’t get enough of the curvaceous beauty as she whipped her blonde hair and pranced across the stage with her all-female dancers. She had the crowd singing along to “Change Your Life” and closed with her autobiographical anthem “Work” as confetti poured down.
