Minaj’s latest offering broke another record last week by becoming the fastest album by a female rapper to surpass one billion streams on Spotify.
The Young Money hitmaker is now also the first female rapper in history to have five albums surpassing one billion streams on the streaming platform.
2010’s Pink Friday, 2012’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, 2014’s The Pinkprint and 2018’s Queen have all previously reached the milestone.
Pink Friday 2 also set a new record on the Billboard Hot 100 last month when 17 of its 22 songs landed on the chart, the most from any album by a female rapper.
Nicki beefed up PF2 by adding another collaboration with Future to streaming services over the weekend as they joined forces again for the ATL Jacob-produced “Press Play.” They already teamed up on the album for “Nicki Hendrix.”
