Apparently telekinesis isn’t her only superpower…

Eleven from Stranger Things raps Nicki Minaj's 'Monster' verse

At the moment it seems like everyone going - from dogs, grannies, and teachers, to greengrocers, amateur magicians and gardeners - is watching that new telly show Stranger Things. For the uninitiated, it’s vaguely similar to Goosebumps in general spooky feel, and follows a bunch of kids - one of whom has telekinetic superpowers, natch - around 1980s Indiana.

It turns out that Stranger Things’ Eleven (played by actress Millie Bobby Brown) isn’t just blessed with psychic abilities, either. In an appearance on Jimmy Fallon with her other Stranger Things co-stars, she revealed that she can rap, and all.

For whatever reason, Eleven’s performance of Nicki Minaj’s guest spot in ‘Monster’ - from Kanye West’s 2010 album ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ - comes with added silly string. Have a watch below.
