Nicki loved seeing the fan's take on one of her "Pink Friday 2" cuts.

For many budding musicians online, one way to get attention is by putting their own spin on other artists songs. Numerous famous singers have gotten their start recording their own versions of other artists songs and sometimes the artists in question even show their support. That was recently the case with Nicki Minaj who caught a fan's version of her track "Falling 4 U" and absolutely loved it. But it wasn't just any old cover of the song. The fan was playing it on a violin.

"It was around :57 seconds when I knew. immediate emotional reaction & it got more & more beautiful with every second to the end. I LOVE this. LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you," Nicki said in a response tweet to the original video. The clip itself has over 350k views on twitter following Nicki's quote tweet. In the comments, fans praise the violin performance and even call for Nicki to bring them along on her tour later this year for further violin covers. Check out the full performance and Nicki's reaction to it below.
