“Super Freaky Girl” Goes Double Platinum, Nicki Minaj Celebrates

by

No one goes harder for Nicki Minaj than The Barbz, but that doesn’t mean the “Barbie Dreams” lyricist doesn’t ride for them too. An artist would be nothing without their loyal fans, and the mother of one made that abundantly clear when celebrating a new record set by her “Super Freaky Girl” single this week. Less than a year after it first landed on DSPS, the Rick James-sampling hit has achieved double-platinum status after amassing upwards of 390M streams on Spotify alone.

Upon hearing the news, Minaj shared a tweet from @chartdata with her followers to celebrate. “In a matter of months? Omg, Barbz, the bad btchs that you are!!!!!!” the 40-year-old praised those who endlessly stream her music. “Ugh! Your minds!!!!! #DOUBLEPLATINUM 1st #1 SOLO female rap debut since Lauryn Hill,” she further bragged. Interestingly, Nick Cannon recently included both The Fugees alum and Nicki in his female rap Mount Rushmore, even referring to the latter as “the GOAT.”

Nicki Minaj Praises The Barbz for “Super Freaky Girl” Milestone

“Last solo debut since… Well, since me!” the former Young Money starlet further quipped, recollecting her numerous accomplishments. “Oh Barbz, you’ll always be famous 😉. Thank you, I love you so 🎀🦄💫,” Minaj’s message ended. Clearly, the achievement means a lot to her, and it’s certainly not the only one she’s accomplished as of late.

Just last month, the Trinidadian artist joined Ice Spice for the remix of her “Princess Diana” cut, which not only earned them plenty of praise but has also been doing numbers. At the start of the month, it was reported that the New York baddies’ first joint effort has already gone gold, and is likely to only continue earning more certifications into the summer as music lovers add it to their summer party playlists.

Nicki Minaj Soundtracks Trailer For Jennifer Lawrence’s “No Hard Feelings”

by

Nicki Minaj’s hit “Super Freaky Girl” appeared in the trailer for Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming comedy, No Hard Feelings. Moreover, the film hits theaters this summer and stars Lawrence as a young woman on the verge of losing her childhood home. While working, she finds a job listing from parents looking to hook their 19-year-old son up with someone before college. From what the trailer shows, Lawrence takes the leap, and craziness, hilarity, and subtly deep coming-of-age themes follow. Even though it sounds hectic to begin with, it’s well-suited by Minaj’s colorful No. 1 hit.

In fact, that single is one of many that formed part of a prolific run for Nicki recently. Along with that track, there’s “Do We Have A Problem?” with Lil Baby, which started off Nicki’s eventful 2022. Also, she released various collaborations with Fivio Foreign and Coi Leray that boosted hype and settled her in with some newer faces in the game. Most recently, she dropped “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which allegedly contains some subliminal disses at other female rappers. Still, the 40-year-old rapper clarified some aspects of the song in a recent interview.

“‘Red Ruby [Da Sleeze],’ I dropped it as a itty-bitty just something,” the Pinkprint star remarked. “’Cause I know it’s gon’ go off on tour, it’s gon’ go off on y’all. It’s just rapping. But the album, obviously, I have to drop my official single for the album. ‘Red Ruby’ is not the official single for the album.” Diss track or not, she continued to fan the flames of those rumors during her Rolling Loud L.A. set. However, beyond just rap beef, Nicki apparently held onto “Super Freaky Girl” for a while before releasing it.

“My label wanted me to go full out with a single and everything when I was pregnant, and I couldn’t bring myself to put out a song about p***y and d**ks and sucking and eating,” she elaborated. “I couldn’t bring myself to put a record out like that while my son was growing in my body! Nothing wrong with anybody who’s able to do it, but with me, I just felt in a very different, new space.” Check out the trailer for No Hard Feelings above and return to HNHH for more news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

Akbar V. Drops Cardi B Diss “Bothered”

by

Akbar V. is not letting up on Cardi B. Days after their Twitter war, the Atlanta rapper still has some things to get off her chest. Earlier this week, she shared a snippet of an alleged diss track about the Bronx rapper, stating “It be the ones that don’t know what’s going on that have so much to say. I can really end b**** with like two lines. New music getting ready to drop.”

The track, which spans one-minute and 46 seconds, entitled “Bothered,” comes just days after the two femcees traded insults on social media; dragging each other about everything from record sales to motherhood. As Cardi continues to celebrate the success of her chart topping collaboration “Tomorrow 2” with GloRilla, Akbar unleashes her wrath on the Grammy nominated star, rapping, “She still ugly.”

Last month, the 33-year old rapper joined Nicki Minaj on her controversial track “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix).” Since the success of the record, Akbar has been finding her footing in hip hop game, by any means necessary. Share your thoughts on the new track below. 

Quotable Lyrics

I’m pretty in real life, this face don’t need no fillers
Keep it a band, keep it a buck, b**** you don’t really know no hitters
Why you bothered? Why you bothered?
Calling my phone b****, how you get my number?

Azealia Banks Blasts Nicki Minaj For Being “Obsessed” With Cardi B 

by

No one is safe with it comes to the wrath of Azealia Banks — especially her fellow female rappers. Last month, the Harlem rapper refueled her beef with Nicki Minaj after claiming that the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper was responsible for putting an end to her upcoming reality show. Azealia shared via Instagram that she was supposed to start filming a show with an undisclosed network, “but apparently Nicki gave the network an ultimatum because she knows I’ll have better ratings.”

The “212” rapper went on to unload on Nicki, claiming that the network execs, “all hate her and think she’s ghetto, terrible to work with, overweight and boring.” Though Nicki hasn’t responded to the accusations, Azealia still hasn’t let up on the Queens rapper. On Tuesday (September 27), Banks reignited her feud with Minaj by targeting the 39-year old’s beef with Cardi B. “Nicki is so obsessed with Cardi it’s only making me like cardi more,” Azaelia shared via Instagram. 

“Nicki is giving twenty levels of peasy black girl with the burnt perm who is jealous of the Spanish girl that just moved down the block.” The controversial rapper continued on blasting the Barb for relying on “tokenism” to get ahead in the game. “A smart Nicki would have done the cardi, doja, Megan collabs smiled in their faces while safaree worked on her album in the background then came through and dominated. Without showing the world how desperately you’ve relied on tokenism and sabotaging other black female rappers behind the scenes.”

This isn’t the first time AB appeared to be team Cardi. Over the summer, she made headlines for calling the Bronx rapper an industry plant, but later clarified her statement, adding, “But sis took advantage of the opportunity and rode that bi**h the f**K out, assembled the right team, seized the moment and made herself a cultural mainstay. U have to respect it.”

Nicki Minaj has yet to comment on Azealia’s comments. Share your thoughts below. 

Why Are Cardi B And Rapper Akbar V Beefing On Twitter?

Rap fans logging into Twitter this week have been confronted with trending topics including Cardi B and Akbar V and might be confused to learn that the two rappers have been beefing for the past 24 hours. For one thing, who is Akbar V? Why does she have a problem with Cardi B? And what does Nicki Minaj have to do with all this? Here’s a quick primer to help you get up-to-date.

Who Is Akbar V?

For the uninitiated, Akbar V is, like Cardi B, a rapper with an origin rooted in the Love & Hip-Hop universe. Hailing from Atlanta, this 33-year-old rapper has had a rough childhood but has been using the exposure from the show to slowly build an audience for her music to turn her life around. She currently has a little under 18,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a little over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. While none of her songs has yet broken the million-streams mark on any platform, she recently received a big look when Nicki Minaj tapped her to appear on the “Super Freaky Girl” “Queen Mix” alongside JT of City Girls, BIA, Katie Got Bandz, and Maliibu Miitch.

Why Is Akbar V Beefing With Cardi B?

Over the weekend, Cardi received a ton of attention for featuring on buzzing Memphis rapper GloRilla’s new song “Tomorrow 2.” While the song had plenty of fans, it’s also found its detractors — one of whom is Akbar V. The Atlanta rapper tweeted, “If @chartdata ain’t say it we ain’t believing the CAP,” referring to the song’s hype and the popular account that aggregates album song performance listings from DSPs and Billboard‘s charts. It seemed to some — including Cardi — that the tweet was meant to shade the supposed success of “Tomorrow 2,” since the track had been released in close proximity to “Super Freaky Girl.”

After catching wind of the tweet, Cardi made a few comments of her own. “Count all the times chart data posted u,” she wrote. “I don’t really like the internet games… My dms is open and also the streets!” Cardi apparently reached out to Akbar privately to inquire about the tweet, but Akbar clearly didn’t feel like settling the matter behind the scenes. In a string of tweets of her own, she complained that someone “gave this ho Cardi B my number” and shared a screenshot of their text exchange, accusing Cardi of threatening her.

Akbar then went on a long tirade, proclaiming her fealty to Nicki Minaj — with whom Cardi has had a long history of friction — denouncing Cardi’s success. “@NICKIMINAJ is the #QueenOfRap and @iamcardib u are the peasant ho ..” she wrote. When Cardi made a pointed comment about taking care of her kids — a shot at Akbar, who has five children of her own — things escalated into full-blown conflict. When Akbar replied, “U was in the strip clubs i was in the streets ..how is it any difference… you still talking but bringing my kids into it,” Cardi let her have it, contrasting their situations. “I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was I raised in let alone ABANDONED THEM ..u had that choice to make as well not once but FIVE TIMES,” she wrote.

The back-and-forth continued with a slew of responses from Akbar, to which Cardi replied by sharing a video from Akbar’s leaked sex tape. “Now my kids got to watch this again @iamcardib u dead wrong for uploading that porn stuff about me again u scoop so low but kool,” the Atlanta rapper replied. “U just threw me back into anxiety.” Cardi deleted the tweet, but later retweeted a notice from a fan that Akbar had used a screenshot from the video as a single cover on DSPs. “WAIT A DAMN MINUTE…she lied to me?” Cardi wondered.

The two rappers continued to trade insults into the evening, with Akbar accusing Cardi of having her husband Offset call her to and daring Cardi to take it to the street. Cardi exasperatedly predicted the next steps: “Let’s guess the next step …a diss track that’s going to be mass bought on iTunes and going to chart on twitter… I should of never argue with this deadbeat , I should of just left it at this.”

They might still be going, but at some point, Akbar’s Twitter account was suspended for unknown reasons. Incidentally, it’s not the first time her account was suspended. Meanwhile, Cardi B has gone back to promoting “Tomorrow 2,” while Nicki Minaj, the apparent motivation behind the whole Twitter spat, went back to promoting her own new video for “Likkle Miss (Remix)” featuring Skeng after going off on YouTube for age-restricting it.

Nicki Minaj Enlists Bia, JT, Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V, And Malibu Miitch For The ‘Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)’

by

Still riding the highs of her first solo Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, “Super Freaky Girl,” Nicki Minaj has unveiled the track’s hotly anticipated remix. Dubbed the “Queen Mix,” the updated version of the new track features rappers Bia, JT, Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V and Maliibu Miitch.

The original version of the track proved to be an instant classic for Minaj, and now, “Super Freaky Girl” continues to be a remarkable moment in hip-hop. On JT of City Girls’ verse, the Miami native confidently proclaims, “I’m the princess of this sh*t, and a motherf*cking gang member.”

Equally as powerful, Bia reminds her competition that she’s a force to be reckoned with, as she raps “I’m just the realest b*tch you see, when Nicki taking the pic.”

Chicago drill rapper Katie Got Bandz delivers some randy bars, saying, “He like ’em freaky / p*ssy squeaky / Give me that tongue / make it leaky.”

Just as raunchy is Akbar V’s verse, on which she calls for someone to “put that D all down my throat / no gag reflex, I ain’t ever gonna choke.”

Maliibu Miitch delivers the penultimate verse, promising, “I’ma put this p*ssy on him, have him sleeping like NyQuil.”

Last but not least, the closing verse goes to none other than Minaj’s alter ego, Roman, who reminds haters to “keep your two cents, this ain’t a meter.”

Last month, Minaj accepted the Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music awards. During her speech, she thanked several artists who she credits for opening doors for her, including Lil Wayne, Mariah Carey, Foxy Brown, Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh. With this remix, she continues to open doors for an entire generation of young women rappers.

Nicki Minaj's "Super Freaky Girl" Makes No. 1 Debut on Billboard Hot 100

With her new single “Super Freaky Girl” currently running up the numbers, Nicki Minaj is prepping the remix. Hitting Instagram, Minaj wrote, “#QueenMix guess who????!! Coming SOON.”

There is no indication on when soon is, but with Friday fast approaching, it may be reasonable to take a look for the new single then.

Nicki Minaj and her new single “Super Freaky Girl” debuted on top of the Billboard Hot 100. The single is Minaj’s third time on top of the chart, but her first time unaccompanied. She previously appeared alongside 6ix9ine on top with “Trollz” and with Doja Cat on “Say So.”

“Super Freaky Girl” features a sample of Rick James’ “Super Freak” and had a monster week of 21.1 million streams, 4.6 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 89,000 downloads in its first week.

“Super Freaky Girl” is also Minaj’s 21st single to reach the Top 10 of the Hot 100. It is the rapper’s second single to do so this year, following her collaboration with Lil Baby “Do We Have a Problem.”

In addition to the top of the Hot 100, Minaj’s new single tops the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts.

Nicki Minaj Is A Neighborhood Menace In Her Dollhouse-Themed ‘Super Freaky Girl’ Video

by

Nicki Minaj really leans into her Barbie doll aesthetic in the video for “Super Freaky Girl,” portraying a plastic version of herself that is something of a neighborhood menace. While all the Ken dolls can’t seem to get enough of Nicki, lavishing her with attention, she instead carelessly lays waste to their picture-perfect cul-de-sac, threatening them with scissors, setting them on fire, and running them over with her hot-pink roadster. Despite her star status, she’s definitely bringing down the property values in this neighborhood.

“Super Freaky Girl” is Nicki’s most successful single in nearly a decade, since “Anaconda” peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 2014 and was the first rap song by a woman to reach a billion views on YouTube. This time, though, she surpassed her previous peak, landing at No. 1 ahead of her accepting a Video Vanguard Award, hosting, and performing at the 2022 MTV VMAs. Like “Anaconda,” “Super Freaky Girl” samples a hit from the ’80s — Rick James’ “Super Freak,” a hip-hop favorite if ever there was one — but hopefully, she won’t grow to regret the new song as she did “Anaconda.”

Along with videos for “Do We Have A Problem?” with Lil Baby and “We Go Up” with Fivio Foreign, the success of “Super Freaky Girl” suggests that Nicki is gearing up to release her first album since the 2018 album Queen. Stay tuned.

Nicki Minaj Reacts To ‘Super Freaky Girl’ Debuting At No. 1 And Making History For Female Rappers

Nicki Minaj has found herself in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart a handful of times now. Her first time was with her featured appearance on Doja Cat’s “Say So” in 2020, then with her Tekashi 69 collaboration “Trollz” later that year. Just yesterday, she landed her third No. 1, doing it unaccompanied this time with “Super Freaky Girl,” which debuted in the top spot. This has Minaj excited, so she took to social media to celebrate.

Sharing an Instagram post noting the various things the song’s No. 1 debut means, Minaj wrote, “You did it barbz. You did it. I love you so much. like so so SO much. Thank you.” She shared a more concise version of that message on Twitter, writing simply, “You did it [teary eyed emoji].”

As for what “Super Freaky Girl” has done, it’s the first song by a solo female rapper to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 since Lauryn Hill did with “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998. It also makes Minaj the first female lead artist to debut at No. 1 in 2022, and the first female rapper with multiple songs to debut on top. Aside from the Hot 100, “Super Freaky Girl” is also No. 1 on a number of other charts, including Streaming Songs, Hip-Hop/R&B Songs, Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs Sales, and Rap Streaming Songs.

Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl’ Debuts At No. 1 On The Hot 100, Making History Along The Way

Nicki Minaj’s latest single, “Super Freaky Girl” has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making history along the way. While women in hip-hop have made a resurgence on the chart in the last couple of years, “Super Freaky Girl” is now the first song by a solo female rap act to debut at the top of the chart since 1998 when Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” was released in limited quantities making the song eligible to appear on the chart after initially being released as a radio-only single two months earlier.

Meanwhile, Nicki helped push her own hit to the top of the charts by teasing it on Instagram a month before its release, then taking a fan poll when the title needed to be changed for copyright reasons. Finally, after the single’s release on August 12, she followed up less than a week later with the “Roman Remix” of the song, which added another verse, and juiced its streams at the 11th hour to get her all the way over the hill (and past Harry Styles, whose single “As It Was” held onto the top spot for 10 weeks prior).

“Super Freaky Girl” is now Nicki’s third No. 1 single after she cracked the seal with Doja Cat on “Say So” in 2020, then followed up with Tekashi 69 and “Trollz” later that year.
