This week Nicki Minaj has released two new songs, Barbie Tingz and Chun-Li. Both songs have ended up on Billboard’s Hot 100 at number 13 and 16.
Now… Nicki Minaj is no underdog, she knows exactly what she is doing. With releasing these two new songs during the week of Cardi B’s debut album she is reminding people to not sleep on her. Although there is no present feud between Cardi B and Minaj and they recently featured on Migos’ song Motorsport together, Nicki has not faced a threat to her like Cardi B since she became famous.
Nicki is planning on releasing a new album this year to compete with Cardi B and let her remember who was first. The rap world is a tough industry for females since there are so few, 2018 has been a special year for women in hip hop and it will be interesting to see how well Cardi B and Nicki Minaj succeed throughout the year.
