Hip Hop loyalists came out to play in NYC yesterday evening, arriving at the Barclays Centre to be wowed by ‘Powerhouse 2013′ and the acts the show called on to perform.

So, one can only imagine their surprise when ‘Save Me’ performer Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance at the event, joining Meek Mill on stage to rock his set with live servings of some of her more recent verses.

Think ‘Tap Out’.

Think ‘Love More’.

Think ‘I Wanna Be With You‘.

Peep an animated Minaj owning the stage… below!
