Elsewhere, she changed things up with a casual costumed featuring a set of ripped relaxed-fit jeans, along with a pink sequined bra top and a matching pink durag.

The hitmaker also had a pink fur coat with leopard-print lining for a touch of glamour.

Another black bodysuit was decorated with white floral designs, and she covered it with a black-and-red satin robe.

The Super Bass performer changed up the color scheme for another outfit built around a yellow-and-black tunic-style dress, which she complemented with a varsity-style jacket and black combat boots.

One of her big fans enthusiastically took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the Trinidad-born singer.

‘Oakland stand tf up!! The #PinkFriday2Tour kicked off and Nicki Minaj looked STUNNING. The production is next level, the VIP passes were worth it, and there wasn’t an empty seat in the STADIUM. The UNDISPUTED Queen of Rap has once again shown why she’s on “a whole ‘nother level.”‘

Nicki’s costume changes and vibrant, colorful looks rivaled those from Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

The singer Monica was her support act and the Super Freaky Girl rapper took the stage at 9:40 p.m. to perform 36 songs in six acts.

She debuted the live versions of Beep Beep, Press Play, I’m the Best, Pink Birthday, Favorite, Cowgirl, Bahm Bahm, Barbie World, RNB, Fallin 4 U, Let Me Calm Down, Nicki Hendrix and Pink Friday Girls.

Nicki also dug out some deep cuts that haven’t been played in years including: Win Again, which was last performed live in 2016 as well as Right Thru Me and Save Me, which haven’t been seen live since 2019 and finally Here I Am, which was played for the first time since 2010.

The Boss A** B**** singer did a cover of Kanye West’s Monster, possibly alluding to no bad blood between the superstars after she prohibited their collaboration New Body from appearing on his Vultures album.

Nicki and Ye recorded the track with Ty Dolla $ign in 2018 for the rapper’s album Yandhi which was later scrapped.
