The star’s latest song, Super Freaky Girl, has debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 – making her the first solo female rapper to achieve the feat in almost a quarter of a century.
The last time it happened was in 1998, when Laruyn Hill’s Doo Wop (That Thing) entered the chart at number one.
According to Billboard, Super Freaky Girl was streamed 21m times last week.
It also topped the download chart with 89,000 sales – the highest sales week for any song in 2022 so far.
“You did it,” Minaj tweeted to her fans, after the charts were unveiled.
Super Freaky Girl is also the star’s first number one as an unaccompanied artist and her third overall.
She previously topped the charts with Trollz, a collaboration with 6ix9ine, and as a featured artist on Doja Cat’s TiKTok hit Say So, both of which were released in 2020.
Minaj’s biggest hit as a solo artist before now was 2014’s Anaconda, which peaked at number two.
Only one other solo female rap artist has topped the singles chart since 1998 – Cardi B. Both of her number ones, Up and Bodak Yellow, entered lower down the rankings before climbing to pole position.
