She also discussed plans for her new singles from the album The Re-Up, “I think I’m actually going to shoot a new video for one of the songs on The Re-Up in a couple weeks, so I’m really excited. It might be “I’m Legit” or “High School” but I’m not sure yet.”

Inside, the “Super Bass” star was welcomed with a mind-blowing roar from the excited crowd as she rushed to PURE’s sprawling outdoor Terrace, which overlooks the Vegas Strip to prepare for the New Year’s Eve countdown. Raised high above Las Vegas Boulevard, with an unparalleled view of the whole city, the chart-topper became the center of attention as fans screamed loudly when she got on the mic and began the long-awaited countdown to 2013. When the clock struck midnight, Minaj greeted everyone with a “Happy New Year” and a champagne toast as an amazing fireworks display burst into the sky.

After the impressive display of fireworks concluded, she was escorted back inside the venue to her VIP table located in PURE’s iconic main room. Minaj took some time to settle in and began partying with her large entourage of close friends, family and boyfriend Scaff Beezy.  Just after 1 am, she emerged onto the main stage and got on the mic to wish everyone inside the club a “Happy New Year” followed by performing her hit singles “Moment 4 Life” and “Starships” as guests danced and sang along.

Following the energetic performance, Minaj rejoined her crew and enjoyed the night by dancing, partying and celebrating the NewYear until the early hours of the morning.
