Nicki Minaj delighted Scots fans during her gig at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro last night as she chanted an iconic song.
The US rapper really got he crowd going as she belted out the words to the The Proclaimer’s classic tune, Gonna Be (500 Miles).
Last year, Gonna Be (500 miles) generated an estimated $3.6 million in royalties after being streamed on Spotify more than half a billion times.
Brothers Craig and Charlie Reed’s tune has proven to be a strong earner in the digital age despite being released as a single in 1988 and it’s since become the unofficial anthem of Scotland.
And of course Minaj likes to tailor her shows to the audience so it was no surprise when the official ‘Gigs in Scotland’ Instagram page shared the footage of Nicki on stage with a Scotland flag wrapped around her, as she chanted the words to the Scots twins’ famous anthem.
They penned: “Tonight Glasgow was Gag City @ovohydro It’s @nickiminaj ’s world and we’re just living in it! Thank you for an incredible night. #pinkfriday2worldtour.”
And fans absolutely loved the surprise and flocked to the comments.
One penned: “It was an amazing show!”
Another added: “She’s got the joint rocking.”
While one said: “Come back soon!”

This comes just day after the star was arrested in Amsterdam resulting in her Manchester gig being cancelled.
The 41-year-old was detained at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on Saturday and says she spent around six hours in custody before leaving the Netherlands for the UK.
