Nicki Minaj made a lot of young boys' dreams come true when she showed up at an over-the-top bar mitzvah held in New York City.

According to the reports, "The Pinkprint" rapper performed the clean versions of seven of her hit songs at 13-year-old Matt Murstein's "coming of age" party held on Saturday at The Pierre Hotel in Manhattan.

Murstein is the son of Andrew Murstein, the founder, president and largest shareholder of Medallion Financial Corp. The publicly traded company is estimated to have a $259 million market cap, Business Insider reported. The elder Murstein is also the co-owner of NASCAR team Richard Petty Motorsports and is the majority owner of the New York Lizards.

Not only did Minaj perform, she also took the time to take pictures with Murstein and the roughly 150 preteens/teens who attended the bar mitzvah. She posted several of these pictures on her Instagram page.

Minaj gave a mini inspirational speech to the young boys and girls at the party as well.

She reportedly said, via The New York Daily News, "Get an education. Stay in school. And don't be a slouch or a bum. An ladies, never let a man have to take care of you. Do you understand me? Be your own woman. Be your own person."

The details regarding Minaj's payment to perform at the bar mitzvah are unknown.

Also in attendance were Hank Aaron, John Starks and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
