The Roman Empire invaded New York’s Times Square on Good Friday to catch a surprise performance from Nicki Minaj. The hometown gal helped Nokia launch its new Lumia 900 smartphone in front of thousands with a three-song set including “Starships,” “Right By My Side,” and “Super Bass.”

Following the mini-concert, she debuted the DJ Doorly remix of “Starships” and announced that a live video was being shot with people in the audience.

“Just had my all time #moment4life. Thank u sooo much!” tweeted a grateful Nicki. “The crowd that was staring back @ me tonite…smh. #one4thebooks – a sea of amazing ppl. Wow.”
