Nicki Minaj

Bringing her unique look to the forefront, Nicki Minaj adorns the front page of the May 2011 issue of Elle magazine.

Set to hit newsstands on April 12, the "Right Thru Me" singer posed in an array of sexy ensembles for a spread shot by photographer Terry Tsiolis.

Continuing her stateside performance travels, Nicki Minaj took the stage during the "I Am Music II" tour at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida on Tuesday night (April 5).

The always-eccentric "Moment 4 Life" singer donned a super-high pink and black 'do, multi-colored zebra print bodysuit, and knee-high pink suede boots as she delivered her long list of hits including "Right Thru Me" and "Moment 4 Life".

A funny thing happened to Nicki Minaj on Sunday (March 27) during the "I Am Still Music" tour when she headed to give a lucky fan a lap dance - her boss, Lil Wayne , ran from backstage at the Long Island, New York's Nassau Coliseum and plopped down in the seat.

The Pink Friday star's showstopping move suddenly turned into a must-see moment, as she told press afterwords: "Well, I have to say, I been giving lap dances [during the tour], but I didn't know Wayne was gonna jump out and pop out the back. I literally was up there trying to get a boy, then I turn around and I see this cute little dread in the chair with his legs dangling off. And I was like, 'What?' I was super nervous."

Asked about her talks with Simon Cowell over a potential "X Factor" judge gig, Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj drummed up her protectively flirty alter ego, Martha, when it came to the response.

The Lil Wayne protégé, said this while chatting (in a British accent) to MTV, "I can't talk about that, but I love Simon very dearly. He's such an amazing man. I had the pleasure of meeting him and my life will never be the same, darling. I told him that. I was absolutely in love with him prior to meeting him. And now that I've met him, it's like I dream about him every night."
