Going to the beach and catching waves is not in Nicki Minaj’s plans for the foreseeable future.
The “Super Freaky Girl” rapper, 41, played with the crowd during her New Year’s Eve performance at E11EVEN nightclub in Miami.
In a video posted by fans on TikTok, Minaj — dressed in a black cutout bodysuit — began belting out the first few verses of the opening verse of her 2012 hit “Starships” before abruptly ending the song.
After singing a few seconds of the lyrics, the hip-hop artist signaled for the backing track to stop.

“Hold on. Psycho, psycho, psycho, psycho,” Minaj told the audience. “I’m not doing that song anymore, everybody. I don’t like it, what do you want me to do? Stupid song.”
Minaj seems to have fired up the crowd instead with “Super Bass.”
The “Moment 4 Life” singer previously revealed how much she dislikes “Starships”.
“I hate ‘Starships,’ I mean ugh, ‘Starships?'” Minaj said Pollstar live in an interview in 2020. I ask myself: ‘Why did I do that?’ I really think that every time I hear it.”
She also expressed disdain for some of her other songs during the conversation.
“I wish I had never made ‘Anaconda’. I like the video, but ugh,” Minaj said. “My first solo song on Billboard was ‘Your Love.’ I still love the video to this day, but I hate the song. I could go on and on.”
