Watch Nicki Minaj's 2018 'SNL' Performances! ("Chun Li", "Poke It Out")
Nicki Minaj was the musical guest last night (May 19) on Episode 21 of Season 43 of "Saturday Night Live", aka SNL. On the Tina Fey-hosted episode of the hit NBC variety show, Onika performed two songs live. First she did her most recent hit "Chun-Li" (taken from her upcoming new album "Queen") and later she performed her Playboi Carti collaboration "Poke It Out" (which was a total disappointment for fans who were anticipating the live debut of a brand new song from "Queen").
Both performances were FIRE; even the "disappointing" "Poke It Out" one.
For the "Chun-Li" performance, Nicki brought a China-themed stage and costumes.
The immediate post-SNL effect? Unfortunately not that positive or immediate. As of the writing of this post, "Chun-Li" places at a shocking #75 on iTunes USA... and I really thought this SNL performance would make it quickly rocket back to the Top 10!
