"Anaconda" singer Nicki Minaj will join forces with boyfriend Meek Mill at a New Year's Eve party in Miami, Florida, as replacement to Latina superstar Jennifer Lopez who backed out of the gig. The project is reportedly worth $1 million.

Despite rumors of their split up, Minaj will join rapper lover Meek Mill who will rake in $220,000 for his performance at Dream Nightclub in South Beach. Minaj's take home pay, however, is still not disclosed but according to sources, Lopez sacrificed a $1 million payday when she gave up her spot in the gig.
The tickets for the event start at $340 which is inclusive of two hours of open bar and a champagne toast at midnight, according to Billboard. Some tickets reach as much as $500, an increase of almost half the price of the original tickets.
The New Year's Eve gig will cap off what critics would say Minaj's year. A few weeks ago, a game based on Minaj was released where the players control the 34-year-old rapper into building her reputation in the hip-hop industry. The game is called "Nicki Minaj: The Empire" and it is free for both the App Store and Google Play.
Also, Minaj tied with pop superstar Taylor Swift in second-most appearances on the Hot 100 when it comes to solo women with 70 songs each to at least spend a week on the list of the 100 most popular songs in the United States. Both singers are just behind the No. 1 Aretha Franklin who holds the record with 73 songs.
