Nicki Minaj chats with the hosts of the Elvis Duran and the Z Morning Zoo radio show at Z100 Studios on Wednesday (November 21) in New York City.

The 29-year-old singer was supposed to celebrate the release of her new album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up the night before at Soho club Greenhouse, but she never made it out of the car, according to the New York Post.

After Nicki‘s boyfriend Safaree Samuels was denied entry for his entire entourage of 30 friends, he reportedly said his gal would not enter the party.

“Nicki was in a car outside, and didn’t come in because only a portion of her boyfriend’s group of 30 was allowed entry. He was trying to bring in too large a party, and therefore Nicki chose not to come in,” a club rep told the paper.
