Nicki Minaj told the audience at the SM Mall of Asia Arena during her July 11 concert: “Make some noise Philippines! Manila, I have to tell you, I will never forget you. You will be forever in my heart. This place reminds me so much of Trinidad. It’s absolutely beautiful.”

The crowd answered her with thunderous cheers.

The party vibe continued with her songs “Turn Me On” and "Where Them Girls At," her song with David Guetta and Flo Rida. 

Nicki then brought out a plastic bag containing giveaways that she threw at the crowd.

In between sets, a DJ played Nicki’s popular hits such as “Fly,” which is her collaboration with Rihanna.

As the crowd danced to the upbeat music, the female rapper was backstage changing into a new outfit.

Nicki returned with an all-white ensemble consisting of a white sleeveless top with metallic straps, a white see through skirt, and white boots.

Pinoys danced and sang along as she performed her popular hit “Starships.” At one point, three guys got on their hands and knees, forming a “seat” for the female rapper.

Another set featured Nicki wearing a pink gown and short hair. She told the crowd “Welcome to my Barbie dream house.”

The stage showed different parts of the “house” such as a fireplace, a window, a painting and a book case.

Nicki admitted, “I had my heart broken and I wanted to kill him.”

She then performed “Fire Burns” with lyrics that go: “This is a sickening joke that you play with my emotions / And so I pray you burn in hell and you never find the ocean / I hope your fire, fire burns baby / I hope your fire, fire burns baby / I hope you lay down in your sleep and you choke on every lie you told”

Nicki described a time when the tables were turned and she was the one who ended a relationship. She recalled, “I wrote this song for a boy whose heart I broke.”

Part of the lyrics of "Save Me" go: “This time won't you save me? / This time won't you save me? / Baby, I can feel myself givin' up, givin' up / Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up”

During her performance, graphics shown on stage were leaves falling during autumn.

For her final set, Nicki wore a blue wig, a pink newsboy hat and lots of bling bling. She wore black hot pants over animal prints leggings and red knee high boots.
