Watch: Nicki Minaj Suffers Tech Malfunction At ‘PowerHouse 2014’

It may have been the most anticipated set at the Honda Centre-held show last night, but it would seem Nicki Minaj‘s set at ‘PowerHouse 2014‘ may be on course to being remembered for all the wrong reasons today.

For, after welcoming the likes of Sage The Gemini and Trey Songz heat up the stage, the show saw Minaj arrive with a ‘Training Day‘- inspired entrance, but succumb to what appeared to be faulty in-ears…seeing her unable to hear herself and perform a portion of the set on a delay.

What happened next?

Find out below!

Fortunately, even without the bells and whistles a number of her counterparts depend on to “kill it”, Minaj rescued her set with a fire and charisma that saw her audience captivated from start to finish, giving us all ample reason to anticipate the live shows set to aid new LP ‘The Pink Print.’

The lesson to be learned? Live skill will always trump all.

For, as her delivery of ‘Chi-Raq’ and the cuts that followed prove, little can stop this pint-sized Rap Queen from putting on a stellar show.

    i thought she was lipsyncing at first…

    …. but then I remembered her name wasn’t ‘Mariah Carey’

      You dumb piece of excrement – The dumb s**** Trashaj was LIP-SYNCHING…A RAPPER LIP-SYNCHING?! And your the one falling for TGJ fake ass “Mariah Lip-Syncs” video….get a brain cell slag

  2. Realest May 18, 2014

    Nicki Minaj is LITERALLY the first rapper I have linked the phrase ” lip synch” to because she lips as much as she does it live. And if it’s live prepare for here to walk back and forth like a Sims character playing in her hair… No hype.. No energy… EVERYTIME

    • Nicki is queen May 18, 2014

      F*** outta here u pressed f**

    • Ashton May 18, 2014

      OBVIOUSLY there were mic and playback issues. She kept tapping her in ear and giving the dude dirty looks until he turned it down. There was no lip-synching to it.

    She still slayed! the queen handled that little mis-hap like a pro and still slayed the f*** out of her set.

    • K May 18, 2014

      Barbie’s World so true, the mic was going out on other performers too. sometime you couldn’t hear anything,i was hoping they fix it before Nicki came out but it catch her too. but Nicki handled it like a boss and did her thing anyways, and the audience didn’t seem to care for the technical difficulties. they were in a frenzy from the start to finish.

  18. sissy that walk May 18, 2014

    wow

  19. did you say bieber,one direction,gaga,j.cole,miley,rita ora YMCMB austin mahone,or bey(my faves are in my name…drag stan) May 18, 2014

    dont be paying attention to this thug misses piece of shiit ,bitchh stole my email and is using it,,,what a shitface

  20. This is Horrible May 18, 2014

    Her songs can’t hold up two-three years later. It’s important to make classics and Nicki Minaj has none. It’s a shame she has to resort to performing PTAF’s song. This is horrible from a self-proclaimed Queen. She doesn’t even know the words to her own damn songs. Anytime, a rapper has to rely on Soulja Boy to save their show, it’s a shame. But, hey, she got fans.

  21. Honey Boo Boo May 18, 2014

    Compare that to the one and only QUEEN BEE’s stage presence…this b**** is so weak her only competition is Iggy Azalea nbuff said!!

  22. GaGa’s Tampon May 18, 2014

    SMH at the trolls!

  23. Royalkev May 18, 2014

    The only thing proven last night was that Nicki’s a BEAST! If you don’t see the level of skill she has by now … something is wrong! I don’t even see how you can be that unfair to her unless you’re simply a hater. I have a lot of respect for talent.

    • Royalkev May 18, 2014

      *her talent

  24. FAF May 18, 2014

    That needs to be her album intro & she killed it, even tho Kim tried to have her flopsquad cut her mic 😆

  25. RDK May 18, 2014

    I enjoyed her performance from start to finish, and the audience clearly felt the same way too.the ear piece didn’t stop Nicki from doing her thing, she did her thing and the audience didn’t give a damn about no earpiece. they just wanted Nicki to do her thing and she did do her thing, she killed everything in the building.

  26. nicko May 18, 2014

    The performance was great. I loved it. #ICONIC

  27. clover May 18, 2014

    It had its moments. Got better towards the end. I liked the performance of boss ass b****, when she cut that loud playback.

    But Nicki do proper sound checks moving forward cuz if she dont have the most mic issues. Stop using all that playback. Bring a band or just do fill ins for performances.

  28. The Truth May 18, 2014

    Dry ass performance. That’s what happen when you take all the bells a whistles away. I didn’t think her performances could get any worse than her award show appearances but this takes the cake. She looks good though.

  29. MusicStan May 18, 2014

    My n***** she demolished this 1st off she did her new s*** and that trap ol s*** ight she kills any rap b**** in da building including mr.chong pregnant ass and that impromptu acapella s*** was obvi from the s*** droppin Wednesday I feel that s*** her rapping was on point even with the techs f***** up and them vocals was life Nicki SLAYED watch out h*** the Punk Print bout to slay 3rd Era B****

  30. RihIcon(Navy Comm) May 18, 2014
