Doja Cat & Nicki Minaj have earned a the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for their “Say So (Remix),” . This makes it the first number one song for each artist. It’s also the first time in history that a collaboration between two females has made it to the number one position .
“Say So (Remix)” has become Nicki Minaj’s 18th Top 10 single, extending her record as the female rapper with the most Top 10s.
Last week, both songs made history as the first time that two solo songs by female rappers have both ranked within the Top 10 at the same time.
The idea originally started as a joke with her fans on instagram Live but the collaboration actually happened.
“I was ending every sentence with ‘featuring Nicki Minaj,’” she continued. “So, I was saying, ‘Damn you look good featuring Nicki Minaj’ [or] ‘My ass itch featuring Nicki Minaj,’” she said.
“But, that was so long ago but then, it happened and I feel like I manifested it or something ” she added. “It wasn’t discussed before so it was a surprise for me too, but she killed it as per usual.”
