Nicki Minaj stopped performing halfway through her 2012 hit “Starships” during a New Year’s Eve celebration at E11EVEN 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.
