Nicki Minaj has indicated that she won’t be performing her smash hit “Starships” anytime soon.
The Pink Friday 2 rapper rang in the New Year with a headlining performance at Miami nightclub E11EVEN on Sunday, Dec. 31, but she stopped the show at one point to address the crowd when “Starships” started to play briefly.
“Psyche, psyche, psyche,” she said as the music stopped. “I don’t perform that song no more, y’all.” She was met with jeers from the audience, to which she replied, “I don’t like it, what y’all want me t
She didn’t directly address her decision to skip the track, but she did share a series of photos and videos from the performance in a post on Instagram.
It’s completely fair for Minaj to skip over past popular material if she’s not feeling it anymore—Radiohead famously refuse to play their hit track “Creep” at their shows—but there’s been drama surrounding “Starships” in the past.
The anthemic pop track, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, sparked a beef between her and Hot 97 host Peter Rosenberg in 2012 when he called the song “bullshit.”
The two later sat down to squash the beef, per The Hollywood Reporter, and she admitted that she felt the song overshadowed some of her better, more rap-driven music.
Considering Pink Friday 2, her latest album, goes for a more hip-hop-oriented sound for the most part, it’s perhaps no surprise that she’s not big on “Starships” anymore.
