Nicki Minaj Infuriates Followers by Rejecting Their ‘Stupid’ Demand


Nicki Minaj provoked outrage among music fans when she refused to perform her famous song ‘Starships’ at a New Year’s Eve performance at E11EVEN in Miami on Sunday.

In a TikTok video, the ‘Anaconda’ rapper can be seen performing the first few lyrics of the song half-heartedly before stopping the performance. The musician then called the 2012 hit song “stupid.”

“Hold on,” the 41-year-old said in response to the crowd’s request. She went on to say, “I don’t perform that song any more, y’all.”

“I don’t like it,” she said, evidently unimpressed by the audience. “What y’all want me to do? Stupid song.”

The rapper then delighted audiences with her big track “Super Bass” in 2010.

Fans couldn’t wait any longer and flocked to TikTok to share their thoughts on Nicki’s smash song, with one commenting, “It makes me sad when artists say they don’t like their most popular song. That song gave you tons of sales, fans and recognition, at least respect it.”

Meanwhile, another fan said, “I don’t blame her it’s dated and would get annoying to perform all the time.”

Niki’s Starships peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 and stayed there for 31 weeks.
