Nicki Minaj gave an eye-catching performance of her latest single 'Pound The Alarm' on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno this week.
The Trinidad-born star sat down with the chat show host for an interview before her live rendition – which saw the star sporting a tight-fitting cream body suit.
The star admitted she used to work at the Red Lobster chain of restaurants when she lived in New York and said that the customers used to "hate" her.
The star admitted she bought a brand new BMW car when she was 19-years-old from the tips she made and was left "traumatised" by customers who, instead of leaving a tip, left the comment "lose the glasses" on a piece of paper.
The star's performance also featured an array of topless male dancers as she climbed a platform and fired a smoke gun at the climx of the performance.
