Nicki Minaj has reached a significant chart milestone, effectively dethroning her Young Money partner in rhyme, Drake.
Chart Data reports that Minaj has become the rapper with the most No.1 hits on the Digital Song Sales chart. Overtaking Drizzy’s 13 No.1s, Nicki has earned her 14th thanks to her Ice Spice collaboration, “Princess Diana.”
The pair dropped the remix off earlier this month, and it’s currently sitting at No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100. As a result, Nicki extends her record as the female rapper with the most Top 10 hits on the Hot 100 chart.
Check out Chart Data‘s tweets about the feat below:
The duo recently released an EP of “Princess Diana” remixes, which include four alternative versions of Ice Spice’s popular track, including one called “Extendo Clip.”
Although they maintain the energetic beat of the original, each remix has its own flavor, texture, and influence.
The remix of the Like…? single comes after Ice Spice was shouted out by the Pinkprint rapper after she appeared on the cover of Dazed magazine.
“GAG!!! ‘The people’s PRINCESS.’ Catch it!!!” Nicki wrote at the time. She also quoted Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana” lyrics back to her in the comments, making the link-up very fitting.
Earlier this month, the Bronx-bred rapper dropped the accompanying raunchy video featuring Nicki Minaj. Both rappers donned uniforms of pink as they got up close and personal in a Barbie-inspired bedroom.
At one point, Nicki grabs on Ice Spice’s derrière, after the Ice slapped on hers earlier in the clip.
“Princess Diana” is the latest single off Ice Spice’s debut EP to get the visual treatment, after previously releasing the video for “In Ha Mood” in March.
As for Nicki Minaj, she released her latest track “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” in February, which she confirmed in a recent interview would not serve as the lead single off her forthcoming follow-up to her 2018 album Queen.
“‘Red Ruby [Da Sleeze],’ I dropped it as a itty-bitty just something,” she said while premiering the song on the Stationhead app. “’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.”
