It doesn’t take much to appreciate a queen as Kenneth Petty is proving. Nicki Minaj’s husband made sure the Queens rapper was celebrated after her historic debut at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart on Monday (August 22) with her new single “Super Freaky Girl.”
Nicki Minaj shared a sweet video of the gesture with her son, whom she calls Papa Bear, enjoying the pink balloons. “Zoo was trying to surprise me with this for hours but I just kept doing one last thing leaving out b4,” the rapper captioned a video showing giant pink balloons.
“By the time I got out it was dark but it actually looked so pretty in the dark… Gangst, B’z, Skarr thx for helping him out,” the rapper added. She also revealed that her husband has given her roses and that her label has also come out.
“They were also perfection. My Republika family with these gorgeous flowers… And then there’s the star of the show. mommy loves you daddy bear. You make every moment count,” added the rapper.
Nicki Minaj scored a historic title on Monday as the only female rap artist to debut at number one on the top 100 this century. The song sold more than 100,000 units in less than a week after its release and earned the additional title of being Minaj’s only solo single released this year.
The Hot 100 analysis showed the track topped the charts with 256 points and 217,000 units. The song has 20.4 million streams and 71,000 sales, along with 41 million streams. The history-making record also had the biggest solo debut of all time on Spotify globally and in the US with 3M and 1.5M streams respectively, as it replaced Doja Cat’s ‘Ain’t Sh*t’ which previously held the record .
“Super Freaky Girl” samples Rick James’ 1981 hit “Super Freak”.
This year has been an important year for Minaj as she has achieved many more achievements. Of note is her 26 million billion Spotify streams in all credits for becoming the first female rapper to achieve this feat. She will also be honored with the 2022 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at this year’s MTV VMAs.
