Young Money‘s Drake and Nicki Minaj are putting a chokehold on the Billboard Hot 100. The two hip-hop heavyweights’ latest singles have locked in top spots on the prestigious chart.
According to reports, Drizzy’s “Nice For What” remains atop the chart while Nicki’s “Chun-Li” now sits securely in the Top 10.
Drake’s “Nice for What” leads the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a second week, following its debut at No. 1 a week earlier. Plus, Nicki Minaj soars to the top 10 with “Chun-Li,” which bounds from No. 92 to No. 10 following its first full week of tracking. (Billboard)
Over the weekend, rap veterans Nas and Diddy both turned up to Drake’s “Nice For What” anthem.

Earlier this month, Drake came through clutch with his eye-popping “Nice For What” premiere.
As promised, Drake has dropped a new song. It’s called “Nice For What.” He also shared a surprise music video starring Issa Rae, Olivia Wilde, Rashida Jones, Tiffany Haddish, Tracee Ellis Ross, Misty Copeland, and more. Drake’s latest track samples Lauryn Hill’s 1998 song “Ex-Factor,” and was produced by Murda Beatz, a Canadian producer who worked on 2017’s More Life and 2016’s VIEWS. Drake previously sampled Hill’s “Doo-Wop (That Thing)” on his 2014 song “Draft Day.” (Pitchfork)
In a few weeks, Nicki Minaj will perform on the “Saturday Night Live” season finale.
