Just days away from the first episode airing of American Idol, in which Miss Minaj will be starring as a celebrity judge, the Young Money queen takes to The Ellen Degeneres show to perform “Freedom”, a classic cut off her recent release of “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re Up”.

However, the rapper-singer-business woman-mogul still hit the stage and rocked out a packed audience like we knew she would. Check it out after the jump.
