Nicki Minaj has announced three new songs to celebrate the re-release of her 2009 mixtape .
The superstar rapper, 38, took to Instagram Live just before midnight on Friday in the US to confirm would be released on major streaming services.
The Super Bass singer said: "This is the 12-year anniversary of the mixtape. Because this is the 12-year anniversary, we thought we would do something special.
"Having said that, because I knew if I just re-released a mixtape without putting out anything new, I knew y'all would cuss me the f*** out. So I did a couple of new joints for the mixtape."
The new songs on the mixtape include 'Seeing Green', which features fellow rappers Drake and Lil Wayne, and 'Fractions'. The third song is a remix of Jamaican singer Skillibeng's dancehall track 'Crocodile Teeth'.
Beam Me Up Scotty can be streamed now on Spotify and Apple Music.
