CY@CY Says Welcome to my dreamscape. Where a Lim is also a Ling.
Sophia Grace Brownlee, 8, and cousin Rosie Grace McClelland, 5, became a YouTube sensation after the video clip of their adorable performance of Nicki Minaj’s Super Bass went viral earlier this month.
They were invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday where they, dressed in their now famous pink ballerina outfits and tiaras, wowed the crowd with a lively rendition of Minaj’s Super Bass.
Then they got the surprise of their lives when Ellen introduced the pair to their idol after their performance.
Sophia Grace squealed with delight when Minaj emerged from backstage, immediately jumping into the singer’s arms and throwing her arms around her.

DeGeneres then gave them Nicki-inspired wigs, microphones and necklaces to complete their look. Minaj then joined her little fans for another rendition of the song.

The pop star said she was so impressed when she first saw the clip, which has now been viewed more than eight million times.
“Within five seconds of seeing this video I was calling everyone,” the 28-year-old star said.
She added: “I said ‘superstar’. Seriously, we are watching a journey that’s about to be amazing.”
