Nicki Minaj Admits To Hating Some Of Her Own Songs
Nicki Minaj has quite a number of songs included in her discography. For the past decade, Minaj has been releasing hits from her four studio albums and three compilation albums and dominated the charts in the process. But it seems some of the singles that put Minaj on the map aren’t her favorites.
Her first album, "Pink Friday," was released in 2010. That album landed her first solo spot on Billboard with the song, “Your Love.” But when Minaj was asked about her least favorite songs she’s recorded throughout the years in a Q&A for Pollstar Live Wednesday night in Los Angeles, she admitted "Your Love" makes the list, Variety reported.
“My first ever solo song on Billboard was ‘Your Love.’ To this day, I hate that. I like the video, but I hate the song. I can go on and on,” Minaj said.
While “Your Love” is not as famous as some of her other songs, fans might be surprised to learn the other popular songs Minaj regrets.
“I wish I had never recorded ‘Anaconda.’ I like the video, but uhhh.…. I hate ‘Starships.’ I mean, like, ewww — ‘starships were meant to fly’? I was like, why did I do that?” Minaj said.
“Starships” was No. 2 on the Billboard charts in 2012, and “Anaconda” peaked at No. 1 in 2014.
The good news for fans is that Minaj will continue making more music in the future, after announcing just last year that she would retire from the industry.
“When I posted the retirement tweet, I did think to myself for a while, ‘Let me just retire.’ Like, I really felt that that was a good idea at that time. But now I don’t,” Minaj explained.
Her newest single, “Yikes,” that she teased on social media and features a controversial Rosa Parks lyric, will be released soon, according to Complex. The official release date has yet to be announced but fans should expect to hear the single in the near future.
