This plays everyday on my tv. Am I the only one who thinks they did better singing/rapping their verses on the live performance than the audio for this song? 😭

As Blavity previously reported, Minaj recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden‘s Carpool Karaoke and rapped some of her best throwback hits.

During the show, the rapper opened up about dealing with anxiety and constant criticism.

“I think when I was younger, probably my more natural state was to be more confident. But I think when you are a woman and you’re in the public eye all the time, if you’re not careful, you can become less confident because you’re being constantly scrutinized,” she said. “It’s not natural for a human being to just always feel like everyone’s critiquing them.”

According to HipHopDX, Minaj first worked with Beyoncé in 2014 for their joint song, “Flawless (Remix).” The collaboration came four years after the release of Pink Friday. As the album re-entered the iTunes Top 10 on Tuesday, the 39-year-old reminisced on her journey to stardom.

Pink Friday debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album sold more than 375,000 copies in its first week, marking the second-highest sales week for a female hip-hop recording artist. Eminem, Rihanna, Drake, will.i.am and Kanye West were among the artists featured on the project.
