Nicki Minaj has again stated that she won't be performing her smash hit "Starships" anymore.
On Sunday night, at a New Year's Eve performance at E11EVEN in Miami, the rapper got a few lines into the opening verse of her 2012 hit before suddenly raising her hands, signaling for the track to stop.
In a video posted to TikTok, Minaj waves her hands, telling the crowd, "Hold on. Psych, psych, psych, psych. I don't perform that song no more, y'all. I don't like it, what y'all want me to do? Stupid song."
"So much of my discography," Minaj said during a 2020 Q&A panel appearance with Pollstar Live when asked which of her songs she regrets. "I wish I never recorded 'Anaconda.' I like the video but, ugh."
"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," she added. "I hate 'Starships,' I mean ew, 'Starships?' I'm like, 'Why did I do that?' I really think that every time I hear it."
