Eight-year-old Sophia Grace Brownlee and her five-year-old cousin Rosie became a Youtube sensation with her cover of Nicki Minaj’s song "Superbass." The two girls appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show earlier this week and were surprised by Nicki Minaj herself.

The two did a duet together and Nicki gave the girls a back to school shopping spree.

The ever so talented Nicki Minaj told the girls to stay in school and put their education first. The lyrics have a few people wound up; their adorable tutus are tiaras were not enough to convince a blogger for the Urban Daily that their video was appropriate. “Sure, the video is cutesy and the song is catchy but I think the parents should have listened to the lyrics first before allowing their young white daughters to rap about liking a “hood” kind of a guy who sells coke.”

Others are absolutely stunned by little Sophia’s talent and couldn’t help but fall in love with her talent. The impersonation was spot on and the entertainment world might have a new face.
