Nicki Minaj fans will be Poinbankdisappointed to learn that one of her hit songs may not make her Pink Friday 2 Tour setlist.
The rapper, during a performance in Miami on New Year’s Eve, upset fans when she stopped a performance of her 2012 single "Starships."
In a clip posted on TikTok, she sings along to the song before waving her hands and telling the crowd, "Sike," explaining, "I don't perform that song no more, y'all."
As the crowd is heard yelling in displeasure, Minaj, 41, shrugs. "I don’t like it, what y’all want me to do?" she says, calling the track a "stupid song."
"Starships" is one of the "Barbie World" rapper's biggest hits, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in spring 2012.
Comments on the clip were largely in disagreement, with one fan saying the track "got us all loving you" while another fan wrote: "Why all artists don't like the songs that set off their careers and made them …?"

However, a few fans did side with Minaj's opinion. "To be fair it's a terrible song," one wrote.
The "Everybody" rapper also got fans wondering if the track would be missing from her upcoming tour setlist. The Pink Friday 2 Tour would be her first solo outing since 2016 and will kick off March 1 in Oakland, California.
Named after her new album "Pink Friday 2," released last month, the 40-city tour will mark her first since The Pinkprint Tour in North America in 2015 and 2016, and 2019's Nicki Wrld Tour with Juice Wrld in Europe.
Other tracks have drawn criticism from Minaj in recent years. In a 2020 Q&A conversation with Pollstar Live, the singer admitted to disliking her 2010 track "Your Love" and her 2014 single "Anaconda," though she said she still loves their music videos.
