Nicki Minaj: “Starship” Producer RedOne Reacts To Nicki Saying She Hates That Song

RedOne, the maestro behind Nicki Minaj’s “Starships,” is cool with her putting the brakes on performing that banger. He’s all about respecting artists’ wishes, and he’s got mad love for Nicki and her work.

In RedOne’s words, “I feel very proud to have made that record with her along with the global success it made.” No hard feelings, just major respect.

“Starships” has been rocking since 2012, hitting that 9x Platinum status, but Nicki’s saying no more live renditions. She straight up told her New Year’s Eve crowd, “I don’t like it, what y’all want me to do? Stupid song!” It’s all good, though. Artists gotta vibe with what feels right.

RedOne’s got a killer track record with hits like Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” and Usher’s “More,” and he’s still dropping gems with Nicki, like “Pound the Alarm” – and she’s keeping that one in rotation.
