Nicki Minaj In January 2023
Minaj Breaks Missy Elliot’s Record For Longest Charting Female Rapper. “On Wednesday (Jan. 4), Chartdata reported its usual updates pertaining to the singles chart. The Queen artist’s August 2022 single “Super Freaky Girl” moved up two spots on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the No. 51 ranked record and bringing it to 20 weeks on the chart overall. The track, which peaked at No. 1, was the catalyst for her reaching 14 consecutive years on the Hot 100, thus breaking the “Lose Control” artist’s previous record of 13. Nicki and Missy have previously shown each other a lot of love. Upon the announcement that the “Chun Li” rapper would receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the last MTV VMAs, the Supa Dupa Fly artist took to Twitter to offer her special recognition.” [Vibe]
