She also thanked her "very own" producer J Reid, who created the instrumentals for both "Chun-Li" and "Barbie Tingz" as his first big placements.
The news comes after "FeFe," Nicki's collaboration with controversial rapper 6ix9ine became her highest-charting song of 2018 and her 93rd entry into the Hot 100, pushing her past Kanye West's total of 92 and behind only 5 others: Glee Cast (207), Drake (186), Lil Wayne (138), Elvis Presley (108) and JAY-Z (98). She also thanked 6ix9ine in the post. "Congratulations to @6ix9ine [so smart, genuine & humble], thx for allowing me to make history w|you today, ugly!" she wrote.
