Nicki Minaj Shares Spotify Stats In Response To 50 Most Streamed Rap Albums Of All-Time List

by

Nicki Minaj took to Twitter on Monday to share some of her streaming stats after Spotify shared its top 50 most streamed rap albums of all-time list. The streaming platform did so in honor of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. With her classic project, The Pinkprint, landing at No. 39, Minaj was one of only two women to make the cut. The other was Cardi B, who took the 16th spot with her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy.

While fans discussed the placements on the list, Nicki chimed in on Twitter by referencing the success of her 2022 single, “Super Freaky Girl,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Last rap song to debut #1?” she asked. The last female artist to accomplish that feat before Nicki was Lauryn Hill, who did so with “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.

She wrote back to a fan: “Well I have to post it myself b/c I don’t come from the era of paying publications to post stats for me.”
