INDIO, California -- Nicki Minaj hopped from one stage to another Sunday night, giving Coachella attendees two surprise cameos yet opting to not perform during either.
The "Anaconda" rapper joined David Guetta to promote their new single "Hey Mama." But instead of performing it, Minaj lip synced a verse, blew a kiss and left.

Minaj later appeared during Drake's headlining set. Again, she didn't pick up a mic. She came out for "Truffle Butter," smiled, blew another kiss, hugged Drake and exited.
