Nicki Minaj’s ‘Starship’ Producer Reacts On Her Disliking for the Song

In one of their recent encounter with the media, Nicki Minaj said, she doesn’t like her 2012, hit single ‘Starship’. RedOne, the producer of the song, has responded to this criticism. The Swedish producer is responsible for hits such as Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” and “On the Floor” by Jennifer Lopez. Recently, they also have discussed the Young Money rapper’s comments with the media.

Previously, the 41-year-old told the audience, “Hold on. Psych, psych, psych, psych. I don’t perform that song no more, y’all.” She also added, “I don’t like it, what y’all want me to do?” She also demeaned the number by calling it “Stupid”. She said, “I hate ‘Starships,’ I mean ew, ‘Starships?’” She also added, “I’m like, ‘Why did I do that? I really think that every time I hear it.”

To this public exhibition, RedOne clarified that they have no problem with Nicki’s attitude to this number. They said, “I have the utmost respect for Nicki Minaj and I love her work very much. I will always respect an artist’s wishes.” They also added, “I feel very proud to have made that record with her along with the global success it made.”

Apart from Nicki Minaj’s ‘Starship’, she also has collaborated with RedOne for her second album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” including another of their popular release, “Pound the Alarm”, “Whip It”, and “Automatic.” ‘Starship’ is not the only song Minaj has expressed disgust; she has been criticizing her previous release every now and then. She also criticized her 2014, megahit ‘Anaconda’.

During her Q&A in 2020 she shared, “So much of my discography,” she said, “I wish I never recorded ‘Anaconda.’ I like the video but, ugh.” She also added on that 2020 Q&A “My first ever solo song on Billboard was ‘Your Love.’ To this day I like the video but I hate the song. I could go on and on. I hate ‘Starships,’ I mean ew, ‘Starships?’ I’m like, ‘Why did I do that?’ I really think that every time I hear it.”

Despite her self-criticism, ‘Starship’ remains one of her biggest releases by far selling 9 million copies of this number in the U.S. alone. But upon release, ‘Starship’ had received mixed responses from the audience.
