On New Year’s Eve, Nicki Minaj took the stage at Miami’s E11EVEN, carrying her usual arsenal of songs. But Minaj told Barbz she was never, ever coming back to the beach when the opening lines of her 2012 Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 single started to play through the speakers.
A video on TikTok discovered Minaj removing the song from her Pink Friday performance. Just a few lines into the first verse, Roman Reloaded lets the listeners do the hard work on one of Nicki’s biggest solo charting hits ever, which is also one of her all-time biggest songs.
After signaling her DJ to stop the song with a wave of her hand, Nicki informed the audience that the pop smash was now permanently grounded.
What did Nicki Minaj call her hit song?
“Hold on. Mind, mind, mind, mind. I no longer play that song for you guys. I don’t like it. What should I do, in your opinion?” As a few jeers burst from the crowd, she spoke. “A stupid song.”
The rapper then appeared to switch to “Super Bass,” another one of her hit songs on the radio. Although Minaj’s second album’s lead song is among her most well-known, the rapper has previously made it seem as though she doesn’t like it.
In a 2020 Q&A, she stated, “I detest ‘Starships,’ I mean, ew, ‘Starships?'” She also mentioned that she wished she had never recorded “Anaconda,” another of her megahits.
Regarding “Starships,” she remarked, “I’m like, ‘Why did I do that?'” “Every time I hear that, I genuinely believe that.” “Starships” stayed on the Hot 100 chart for 31 weeks, peaking at No. 5.
Pink Friday 2, Minaj’s eagerly anticipated fifth studio album, was just published, and she is getting ready to embark on a global tour in March.
