Villanova rolled out the pink carpet for Nicki Minaj when she surprised the students on Friday. To close out its annual Hoops Mania festival, the Philadelphia-area university hosted a Midnight Madness-themed basketball event to celebrate the start of the season.

According to CBS Sports, this year’s festivities concluded with a surprise performance from the Young Money superstar.

Nicki delivered a 25-minute set of her hits including “Starships,” “Moment 4 Life,” “High School,” and “I Wanna Be With You.” She also took photos with the men’s and women’s teams and was gifted a jersey with her name on it.

“Villanova, thank you for having me. I’ll cherish this jersey forever!!!!” wrote Nicki. “Like Lamar Odom, I ball… scrotum.”
