Nicki Minaj wears a Saltire and performs Scottish classic in Glasgow

Nicki Minaj wowed fans at her Glasgow show when she performed a version of a Scottish classic.

The Starships singer visited the city's Hydro on Wednesday evening as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

During her impressive 32-song setlist including Anaconda, FTCU, Super Freaky Girl and Barbie World from the 2023 film Barbie, the 41-year-old got into the spirit of Scotland to the amazement of fans.

Between Anaconda and Super Bass, Nicki performed a rendition of The Proclaimers' hit 500 Miles.

She sang the 1988 track to the audience while dressed in ripped jeans, a leopard print crop top and a Scotland flag wrapped around her. 

The superstar shared her love for Glasgow after the gig in a heartfelt Twitter/X post.

She said: "Whenever I perform in Scotland, I leave feeling like they’re the kind of people you would become best friends with instantly.

"It was really hot in the venue tonight and they still gave me all they had in the final act of show. I love you guys so much, Glasgow!"
