Nicki Minaj may be doing the promotional rounds for American Idol, but the Young Money maven hasn’t forgotten new release ‘The Re-Up’ – which, too, is need of plugging.
As reported earlier, the femcee sat down for an interview with Ellen today, where she also performed ‘Freedom’ – the latest offering from the re-tooled version of her sophomore set ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’.
Watch Nicki sing her pink heart out after the jump…
Though this is undoubtedly her best serving of the song thus far, the fact that she performed it on an outlet like ‘Ellen’ is all too telling of her problem.
A little like Lady GaGa during her ‘Born This Way‘era, Minaj seems to have fallen for her own hype and is convinced her only concern should be to cater to her fans and not the casual listener.
Unfortunately, as ‘Freedom‘s non existent Billboard Hot 100 run proves, nobody- not even the ‘Barbz’- believed the song was worth buying and thus not worth pushing on her end.
For, one look at iTunes could have told Camp Minaj that ‘Freedom‘ was the last song she should have performed today, while her 2013 Grammy snub should have been the hint she needed to endorse singles that would have enhanced ‘The Re-Up’s/’Reloaded’s perceived popularity.
Cuts, the casual listener had already showed interest in and not numbers that her own fans had ‘paid dust’ to.
With album #3 on the way, let’s hope Minaj takes a more scientific approach to picking and choosing singles, as to ensure she generates numbers worthy of her undeniable talent and undying fan support.

Flat performance… Weak vocals…
Agreed. *lets out a breath of fresh air that someone can think outside of their stan mode*
that’s right gorl promote that flop cause aint nobody gonna do it for you ! 😉
Just like no one did for Rihanna first two flops. Stop hating and keep it moving hun. It’s not that hard 🙂
LOL rihanna first album outsold Nicki’s first WW + pon de replay peaked at #2 BB 100+ Rihanna’s second album outsold Nicki’s sophomore slump both in the US and WW + sos was a international smash hit peaking at #1 on BB 100.

#SLAYED!!!!! YOUR FAVORITE RAP B**** COULD NEVER!!
And yours didnt either gerl! #POW
^^lmao
Yessss b****. Work that stage. Queen Minaj. That was such a fantastic performance. If she just got her vocals stronger, she would be a HUUUUUUGE threat to any other female artist out there. She already can sing, just needs to get her vocals a little bit stronger just like Rihanna had to (and it worked so well for her cuz that b**** gives me LIFE when she sings Diamonds) lol 🙂
Yaaas grrrrrl
h** sit
She doesn’t need to get her vocals stronger. She will use auto tune and still get them coins like she always has…
THe performance was not that good at all. Why are you people fronting. Yeah i know she is getting them coins, but hopefully those coins can be put towards better producers, and writers to prevent future FLOPS…
^^^^^ HATER!!!!!! LOL
But durling i am only critiquing this hot mess the best way i can lol
you are a mess hun lol
amen
It wasn’t something that was out of her comfort zone like normally so I don’t get the “slayed” talk at all.
mama apply glue to your weave cus its getting snatched
This woman looks like the Bride of Chucky. She is completely plastic as is her entire contrived persona or the notion that she actually possesses any talent. She may be rich, but nothing compared to Mimi. She may be eccentric but nothing compared to Gaga. There is a tendency for washed out singers to judge singing competitions. Judging by the flop sales and virtual non charting of her recent singles, I guess that statement holds true.
B**** I KNOW YOU AINT CALLING ICKI NAMES WHEN ORA AND GAGA ARE UGLY AS F***!!!! YES NIKKI IS A GARBAGE RAPPER AND FLOP BUT SHE LOOKS BETTER THAN GAGA AND ORA
Gaga post pictures of herself on instagram without any makeup. Nicki will never show the world herself plain cuz she has low self esteem. Gaga discourages bullying and promotes being yourself.
Music Soul Harmony Gaga is the biggest bully and hypocrite in the game,her fans learn from her very well too,they are just as bad some manipulative hypocritical bias mean f-cks,you haven’t see Nicki my time now are her E series are some of her back in the day video when she wasn’t wearing any make up,you only see what you want to see are saw but act like you haven’t seen…..fall da f-ck back with your ignorance.
B**** what the f*** do you look like? a garbage pale kid? you better get off Queen Nicki.
Aye everyone who hates icki…DO NOT COME FOR THIS GIRL ^^. She will slay! Notice than EVEN I give her her space chile.
Wonderful..she just keeps reinforcing the reason i love her.
croak b****
….
Bleach dem a bleach!
Sam dragn her by her p**** on the post above for this same performance!! u mad?? lolololololol!!!!
I see I’m gonna have to drag you again. get of my girl nicki b****

Belts!? Someone needs to take a belt to this b****!
someone needs to take a rope your f-cking neck.
#goup
Boringggggg..My tits stink again. I’ma go put Nicki b**** and me bra in the washing machine on a warm spin cycle.
This b**** is so worthless. I swear! The b**** isn’t even hip hop anymore. She’s a sell out fraud trying to be white with that nasty blonde/white lace front and fake booty pads. I hate this b**** so much. Nasty ass. But thank God she won’t exist in about a year.
If the queen is so worthless then why the f*** are you here wasting your time commenting on a post about her dumb ass?
Because I can do what the f*** I want to do and it ain’t like you stopping anything over here b****. If I want to comment on her ass, guess what, I will. F*** outta here with your corny ass.
Dont worry, I speak “PressedBitchese”. She said, “Because I have no life, nor any friends.”
TUNE IN TOMORROW TO WATCH NICKI ON AMERICAN IDOL TOO B****!
SKINTIGHTJEANS you are a sorry piece of t-urd,continue to be you you can’t be anything else but a sorry hater you claim, i feel sorry for you.
And you can suck a fart out my ass with a smile b****. I will continue to be me because I’m greatness in its rarest form. So you can take that and get hit by a bus s***.
I agree with Sam, im getting tired of stanning for her when she keeps on making mistakes like this. Nobody wants Freedom.
Your negative opinions don’t solidify your taste in talents…it just shows how pressed you h*** really are. You don’t have to tell us to have a seat…We’ve been seated atop you bums…
I feel like Rihanna fans bash and say the nastiest things because Mama don’t teach them to love themselves.
Most of you come to these sites to exercise your distaste for artists because you secretly wish you could be them…It’s ok to be yourself…
And it’s also okay to be mad about this post…(giggles) I expect you to be…
Performance was spot on! Love it! 🙂
Haters keep hating but she is headed for greatness!
you got lice in yo p****
Boringgggggg news !!!!
I miss f****** up Christmas leftovers for breakfast already. Where is my fat Mc D you n**** h***???
🙁
leave Nicki alone you guys are so evil towards her ):
Fake h** like Nicki aint getting nuggets or love.. 🙁
SHE HAS IT COMN HELL!! u b****
Gawd yass hanty, get that promo Nicki!
Chile she a flop (blowing fingernails dry)
Nicki Minaj day on ThatGrapeJuice.
Taylor Swift Keeping Justin Timberlake’s ‘Suit & Tie’ Away From iTunes Number OneJT’s comeback single remains at number two on both the US and UK iTunes charts
I live in the US and am looking at the itunes charts right now. JT is still number 1 and Tay is number 3…but oh well it’s still in the top ten regardless.
*Tay is number 2
Yeah I just looked, the .entertainmentwise website got its facts wrong then haha.
The only reason I’ll be watching AI tomorrow is because of Nicki.
Mooriah can fall in a ditch for all I care.
Let’s be objective tho….her background singers were belting more than her. Bye Sam.
Give some credit to her background singer Kiesha Renee though…
She killed it as always
Exactly…
It’s so hard to find Someone to admire…..

but i found it.
59 year old stripper I can’t lol
Better than the clown you stan for.
NOT THE BIGGEST MINAJ FAN…
HOWEVER I ALWAYS GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE
CAN’T KNOCK HER HUSTLE! WHATEVER SHE’S DOING I HOPE SHE KEEPS IT UP!
GET MONEY! MAKE GREAT MUSIC NICK!
I love the way the audience was feeling nicki as usual,wave them arms side to side,keep putting in work sista.
I’ll throw Nicki OnetrickphonyNAJ a bone cuz her Reloaded CD was out of stock and that’s why it’s sales were oh so low…but if she flops like that on the Pink Print it’s OVER and she will join Ciara, Xtina, and Nelly Furtado on the bench. Just being honest. But Nicki stans thumbs this down. Who gives a f***!
*I meant re-up CD whatever it was called…forgot. ..
3, 2 yeap this B**** 15 mins of fame bout gone chile. (smokes blunt)
THIS H** TRYNA SING!! FUNNY S***
One Direction “Jungle” http://www2.zshare.ma/6238jqejtrmh
When did she belt exactly? LMAO
Plus the song is really a below average mess. Come on!
I know that this website stans for Nicki but honestly where did she belt out anything? It seems like her BG singers did most of the belting.On aSN Nicki is nowhere near a good singer she’s not even decent at best. But her hustle speaks volumes.
b****** shut the f*** up, nicki is killing it
F*** U
B**** ain’t killing anything except my eardrums.
TGJ your headline is misleading vocalist belt not rappers.Nicki is a rapper and a pop star but she is below average singer.You save the word belt for MC,WH AND AF.
God!…she looks like a globe, her ass looks like balloons, i’m the only one who don’t like her body.
you are g** that,s why you don’t like her body simple as that,are my your g** twisted @ss is gealous are feels your body is better than hers,you are a dude not a girl and if you are a girl you are a girl i know you are confuse don’t now if you are what you are,pray on it he will help you figure things out.
You should learn how to spell before trying to read people. Its jealous not gealous. no matter how much you say if you have grammar mistakes you become the read. Try again
So many grammar mistakes.i think you mean or instead of are. You should pray for an education and allow god to help you figure things out. Lol
lol omg i said the same thing as far as lady gaga’s BTW and nicki’s last effort – they went oooo far left and abandoned thier core fanbase resultings in sales that were unworthy of their suppsoed stature – let this be a lesson that greatness has to be earned and if u start feeling yourself to early then u are in for a rude awakening..hint hint more so Nicki then Gaga who is on an entirely diff level but still the same applies
I like this song, I like all the RE-UP songs, u guys need 2 let artists have fun, u want them 2 stay in 1 lane-that gets old! this was cute!!!
Get Money B****…Get Money! lmfao hahahahah!
AMAZING AND FLAWLESS…… GOTTA LUV THE HATERZ…… SHE IS DRESSING VERY CLASSY AND LOOKS FREAKING AMAZING….. I LOVE YOU, NICKI MINAJ…..
