It takes a certain type of confidence to name your new album Queen. But that’s exactly what Nicki Minaj has done—and if the latest track from her upcoming LP is of any indication, she’s still got swag to spare.
“Rich Sex” is a moody hip hop stomper that sees Minaj pairing up with Lil Wayne to exchange cocky, hard-hitting verses over a sinister trap beat. “He say ‘baby every day we ballin’, I say ‘swish swish’ / Got him callin’ nonstop ’cause he don’t wanna miss this,” Minaj spits on the opening bars, making it perfectly clear that she knows exactly how much she’s worth.
Lil Wayne levels the playing field, though, serving it back just as hard. “Make you put your money where your mouth at / Babe, that’s some lipstick,” Weezy rhymes.
Queen is due June 15. Listen to “Rich Sex” below:
