He accessorised the look with a Christmas hat and opted to wear black Converse sneakers. 

Sponsored by The Zen, the rapper was seen holding one of their boxes of shoes in front of a shoe box inspired Christmas tree. 

Radio star, Melissa Rios, appeared in high spirits in her red dress as she posed with some fairy floss. 

Nick was also joined by one of his sons, Golden, two, during the event. 

He was dressed in a checked shirt and red trousers to match his dad. 

The comedian's other two children, twins, Monroe and Moroccan, eight, who he shares with Mariah Carey, were not in attendance.

Nick's do-good outing comes amid his ongoing feud with fellow rapper, Eminem. 

Thursday saw him release a third diss track, in two weeks, aimed at Eminem, titled, Cancelled: Invitation. 

The track claimed Eminem was the 'KKK of his generation.' 

The show began with with Nick sitting in a studio, listening to all of Eminem's (real name Marshall Mathers) shots taken at him throughout the past decade. 

The two-minute compilation concludes with Fat Joe's track Lord Above released earlier this month, where Eminem called Nick, 'neutered,' before he pulls out a previously unreleased Eminem track, claiming he's been, 'disrespecting our queens for years.'  

He continues: 'Matter of fact, why don't you tell them how you really feel, Marshall?' before an old Eminem track plays with lyrics, 'Black girls are b****es, black girls are dumb.'

He goes on to call him the 'KKK of his generation,' before asking if he 'took it too far' because 'he's a rap star.'

The track ends with Nick speaking to the black community, stating, 'You heard him, that's how he feel about us. We just gonna keep letting that ride?'  

Nick's Instagram bio currently reads, @Eminem #TheInvitation.'  

Foolish Pride, which was reportedly recorded in 1998, and another song with racist lyrics released in 1993, were uncovered back in 2003 by The Source, with owners Ray Benzino and Dave Mays holding a press conference to play the recordings.

Enimem released a statement shortly thereafter, apologizing for the lyrics, stating he made that record after breaking up with an African-American girlfriend.

'The tape ... was something I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it into today,' Eminem said in his apology back in 2003.
