Nicki Minaj left her fans outraged after she refused to perform iconic song!
This starship won’t fly anymore.
Nicki Minaj stopped performing halfway through her 2012 hit “Starships” during a New Year’s Eve celebration at Elleven in Miami on Sunday.
In a TikTok video, which was posted on Monday and has received nearly 171,000 views, the “Super Bass” singer can be seen unenthusiastically singing a few of the song’s opening lyrics before waving her hand to stop the song altogether.
“Hold on,” Minaj, 41, can be heard saying over the roar of the crowd. “I don’t perform that song no more, y’all.”
The response drew outrage, prompting Minaj to explain: “I don’t like it.”
“What y’all want me to do? Stupid song,” she added, before launching into 2010’s “Super Bass.”
The Post reached out to Minaj for comment.

Several fans were confused by the “Barbie World” singer’s decision to skip such a popular song.
“Why,” one user questioned in the comment section. “It’s what got us all loving you. DON’T FORGET ABOUT US.”
“She’s fr,” a second user slammed.

“Starships is still paying her bills and is a fan-favorite song,” pointed out a third person.
Other fans seemed to side with the “Bang Bang” hitmaker.
“To be fair it’s a terrible song,” one user stated.
“How would yall feel if everyone around u was like ‘do that thing u did 12 years ago,’ after you’ve been evolving and doing better things ever since then … as an artist I’d feel some type of way,” a second person defended.
“Hold on. sike, sike, sike, sike,” Minaj, 41, can be heard saying over the tumultuous roar of the crowd. “I don’t perform that song no more, y’all.” TikTok / @raptherapth
This is not the first time that Minaj has expressed her loathing for the track that won her an American Music and Billboard award.
“I hate ‘Starships,’ I mean ew, ‘Starships,’” the Grammy nominee said to Pollstar Live in 2020. “I’m like, ‘Why did I do that?’ I really think that every time I hear it.”
She also revealed several other songs she hated.

“I wish I never recorded ‘Anaconda.’ I like the video but ugh,” she divulged. “My first ever solo song on Billboard was ‘Your Love.’ To this day I like the video but I hate the song. I could go on and on.”
Recently, Minaj revealed that she banned fellow rapper Kanye West from releasing their song “New Body” after it was leaked online in 2019.
“Chile, that train has left the station,” the hitmaker told West, 46, in a text message that was uploaded to X (formerly Twitter). “OK? No disrespect in any way.”
Taking to Instagram Live, Minaj addressed the situation, claiming that she “just put out a brand-new album” so she had no interest in doubling down on the publicity.
“Why would I put out a song that has been out for three years? Come on, guys,” she said at the time.
