Lil Baby knows that women are bigger than ever before in rap music right now. Some of the biggest rap hits of the year have been delivered by female rappers. Ice Spice alone is having a breakout year and has notched 4 top-10 hits on the Hot 100 already. Two of those came as collaborations with Nicki Minaj. Nicki also debuted her own song "Red Ruby Da Sleeze" inside the top 20 earlier this year. She teamed up with rising star Sexyy Red for a potential hit in the making with "Pound Town 2" as well. Two more female rappers notched a top 20 debut back in May. Cardi B and Latto put their powers together on "Put It On Da Floor Again" which debuted at #13.
In a recent interview on the Complex produced show GOAT Talk Lil Baby discussed the women in rap music today. "“It’s like crazy, crazy female artists right now, for sure," he begins. He's right as even more artists like Coi Leray. Glo Rilla, Kalii, Doechii, and Lola Brooke have also landed on the Hot 100 this year. "Females like running the game right now,” Lil Baby explains. He's also asked who his favorite female rapper is and his answer won't surprise anyone. “Yeah, I’d say Nicki Minaj for sure.”
