Published
Nicki Minaj made a surprise cameo appearance Thursday at Elon Musk's Starbase site in Texas, where SpaceX tried to launch its new megarocket into outer space — but it all fell apart due to technical issues.
Still, Nicki had a blast attending her first attempted rocket launch, hanging out with some of the SpaceX staff — and even getting interviewed on camera.
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
Check out the clip ... Nicki called the moment "historic," pointing to her t-shirt emblazoned with the rocket's name, "Starship," which is also the name of one of her most famous songs.
The rapper also got super excited when one of the staffers told her only 6 minutes remained before the much-anticipated launch. But the rocket never made lift off as a result of technical issues that could not be fixed in time.
After the issues are finally resolved, though, the rocket could potentially launch Friday night at the earliest.
We'll have to see if Nicki makes another cameo. By the way, Nicki and Elon traded pleasentries on X with Nicki calling his Starbase site "magical."
