Cardi B Prevents Nicki Minaj from Securing Another No. 1 Һit
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s ongoing feud has once again made headlines, with Cardi’s latest single blocking Minaj from achieving another chart-topping success.
Cardi’s newest release, “Like What (Freestyle),” debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Rap Digital Song Sales chart. This chart specifically tracks the sales of rap songs in the U.S., showcasing Cardi’s dominance in the genre. With 11,535 copies sold, the single not only secures the top spot on the rap chart but also ranks among the top performers across all genres. Simultaneously, it enters the Digital Song Sales ranking at No. 3.
By claiming the No. 1 position on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, Cardi B prevents Minaj from achieving another leader. While Minaj’s recent releases gained traction among fans following her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, her track “Pink Friday Girls” narrowly misses the top spot, settling for No. 2 with 8,789 copies sold.
Despite missing out on another No. 1 Һit, Minaj still boasts three tracks in the top 10 of Billboard’s Rap Digital Song Sales chart. “Let Me Calm Down,” a collaboration with J. Cole, re-enters at No. 4, while “FTCU” makes a comeback at No. 9.
“Like What (Freestyle)” marks Cardi B’s eleventh No. 1 single on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, adding to her impressive tally of 31 top 10 hits. While Minaj has twice as many chart-toppers, with 96 songs reaching the highest tier on the chart, Cardi’s latest achievement demonstrates her continued dominance in the rap industry.
