Kingston was in a horrific jet ski accident just two months ago and his recovery was far from certain when he was airlifted in critical condition to a Miami hospital.  His recuperation appeared to be complete last night, as he moved easily across the stage.

Minaj is out performing with Britney Spears as part of her Femme Fatale tour, and Kingston gave the headliner a Twitter shout out as well, thanking Nicki and Britney for "one kick ass concert."

Rihanna was forced into calling a sudden end to her concert at the American Airlines Center in Dallas last night, after a fire broke out on stage.

The songstress was in the middle of singing her new hit California King Bed when a stage light, suspended above her, caught fire and she made the decision to exit the stage.

She also revealed that she was heading into a production meeting with her staff to “find out exactly what happened.”

Early indications were that pyrotechnics set off during the performance may have played a part but luckily there were no injuries.

Dallas Fort-Worth Fire Rescue Captain Johnny Bates told CBS Dallas that the blaze was handled by the shows crew.

“One of our engine crews did enter the building but crew members with the AAC or concert put out the initial fire,’ he said. “Everything is under control and there are no injuries.”

Rihanna is set to continue her ‘Loud’ Tour tonight at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
