18 Celebs at Coachella Who Had a Better Weekend than You

01
Nicki Minaj

The good news is that Drake brought out Nicki to perform a set with him. The bad news is that Madonna was nowhere to be found, meaning that we don’t have video footage of another awkward make-out sesh to get us through the week.

Drake

We wonder if this was snapped before or after Madonna made out with him (no, seriously).

Tyler the Creator

Who else did you think would be able to rock a (kind of creepy) Cherry Bomb mask while performing and still shut it down?

Breezy basks in the desert sun (before crashing DJ Deorro’s party).

Jennifer Hudson

Hours before her performance, the singer chowed down on some Fatburger. Now that’s a pre-show ritual we can get onboard with.

Amber Rose

Amber refuses to conform, even when it comes to the festival’s unofficial hippie dress code.

Karrueche Tran

Aaand with that jump, we all became instantly jealous. Wouldn’t you love to dive into a giant ball pit?
