Keep up with the queen of rap, Nicki Minaj, who holds the title for the most number-one albums on the top R&B/Hip Hop album charts among female rappers. Nicki has four number-one albums, while Eve and Missy Elliott each have three. Lauryn Hill, Foxy Brown, and Megan Thee Stallion each have two.
Sadly, Cardi B hasn’t released a second album yet. But Nicki is always ahead of the game. I’m trying to understand how this list is made. Is it based on the top R&B/Hip Hop album chart? It can’t be the main album chart since Megan Thee Stallion doesn’t have two number-one albums. Also, Glorilla and Doja Cat don’t have any number-one albums, and I just realized Doja isn’t on this list at all. In any case, these other rap girls can’t compete; only Nicki consistently tops the charts. Congrats to the queen of rap!
Moving on, Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2” just had the biggest first-week sales for a female rap album in the U.S. this year, with over 66,000 copies sold. Wow, that’s incredible! The Barbz, Nicki’s dedicated fanbase, are really showing up strong. No wonder other artists are envious of the Barbz – they’re an amazing support system. It’s pretty wild how they managed to sell 66,000 copies of “Pink Friday 2” right after its release in December 2024.
And get this – they even outsold Megan Thee Stallion’s first-week record of 64,000 copies. Nicki Minaj definitely deserves some major credit for that. The Barbz went all out, streaming and buying her album like crazy last week. What do you think about this?
I saw this trending on social media, and I couldn’t believe it at first. I decided to wait until major publications confirmed it before discussing it. Lil Wayne recently performed “Not Like Us,” and earlier this year, he shared his top five rapper list, once again excluding Drake. Now, he’s allegedly revealing information about Drake, which is shocking. Fans are saying that Nicki Minaj might be Drake’s only true friend left.
Drake has support from DJ Akademiks and others, but it seems his close friends, like Lil Wayne, have turned on him. Nicki Minaj, however, has always remained loyal to Drake. The queen of rap is known for her loyalty, but I wish she would reconsider her stance with Drake. During the backlash against her, Drake was collaborating with Cardi B, even calling her one of the best female rappers he’s seen. Nicki Minaj should strategize and not always remain loyal. What do you think?
Nicki Minaj has just wrapped up the first leg of her sold-out “Pink Friday 2” tour, and it’s officially the most successful rap tour in history. Every single show was packed, with Nicki selling out 99% of her performances, including festivals. The first leg was a huge success, and we’ve got to give Nicki Minaj her due credit for her amazing performances. Despite any haters, she keeps on winning. What do you think about Nicki’s successful tour?
Switching gears to Katy Perry, her new song “World” is aiming for a top 70 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Some fans are saying that if Nicki Minaj hopped on the track, it could shoot up to the top 50 or even the top 20. Personally, I love Katy Perry, and I stream her song and watch the video, but I don’t think Nicki should jump on this one. If they want to collaborate, they should start fresh with a new track. The current song has too much controversy around it, and Nicki doesn’t need that drama. Let’s stop hyping this idea – Nicki isn’t going to be on it.
And now, about Cardi B – some fans are asking for another collaboration between her and Normani after their song “Wild Side” didn’t do too well on the charts. They want another song together, but I think Normani’s album could be at risk if Cardi B is involved. No shade, but Cardi B might not be the best choice for Normani right now. Normani should be careful with her collaborations, especially after switching sides on Nicki Minaj, which lost her some support from the Barbz. Cardi B jumping on another track with Normani might not be a smart move.
Hey everyone! Ciara just hinted at something big happening on her Instagram Live tomorrow. What do you think it could be? I’m guessing she might announce a new album or maybe even that she’s retiring to focus on her family. Drop your thoughts in the comments! Personally, I think it’s more likely she’ll announce an album, but there’s also a chance she could say she’s quitting music. Some fans are speculating about a hot collaboration, but I’m not sure if Cardi B is really into music right now. If she were, she would’ve dropped an album a long time ago. It seems like she’s more interested in following the Rihanna route and focusing on a brand.
Switching gears, it looks like Megan Thee Stallion has been giving away free tickets because her fans, the Hotties, aren’t buying them. Honestly, even if I got a free ticket, I might not go. It seems like her fans aren’t turning out for her tour. Megan’s popularity on TikTok isn’t translating to concert sales, which isn’t too surprising. Rock Nation must be pretty disappointed after investing so much money, and now they might not see a return because TikTok artists often struggle with ticket sales.
On a brighter note, Doja Cat’s “Demons” has sold over 500,000 units in the U.S. Congrats, Doja! Personally, I’m not a huge fan of “Demons,” but I think her previous album didn’t get much attention because of how it was promoted and the song titles. No shade, but if Doja Cat goes back to making music like she did during the “Planet Her” era, I’d definitely support her. I loved the “Planet Her” era, but the only song I’ve liked from this era is “Agora Hills.” Doja, if you get back to making great music, the public will definitely support you.
Safari recently made a comment about how quickly Ice Spice has lost weight, claiming that people are always pressuring others about their appearance. What do you think about this?
Honestly, Safari should mind his own business and take care of his responsibilities, like paying child support, instead of talking about Ice Spice. It’s unfair to criticize her for wanting to lose weight. If she wants to get in shape, that’s her choice. Some people might think there’s something shady going on, but we should respect her decision. She’s preparing for her mini-tour and needs to stay fit. Good breath control is essential for performing well, and losing a bit of weight might help her with that.
