Biography
"Super Freaky Girl" is a song by Trinidadian-born rapper and singer Nicki Minaj, released on August 12, 2022, by Young Money Entertainment and Republic Records. An upbeat, raunchy song, it prominently samples Rick James's 1981 single "Super Freak", as Minaj raps about her sexual fantasies and endeavors, while also boasting about her career. It received comparisons to Minaj's 2014 single "Anaconda", as both tracks feature classic samples and sexual lyrics.
Upon its release, the song broke the Spotify record for the biggest debut for a solo female rap song. The song debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it the second solo song by a female hip-hop artist to debut at number one after Lauryn Hill's 1998 single "Doo Wop (That Thing)". It marked the third US number-one single of Minaj's career, as well as her first number-one song as a solo artist. Internationally, the song has topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand, becoming Minaj's first number-one single in both countries. The song reached the top ten in over 10 countries including Canada, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Philippines, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The song received a nomination for Song of Summer at the 2022 VMAs.
An extended version of the song, called the 'Roman Remix', was surprise-released on August 18, 2022; it sees Minaj incorporate her alter ego, Roman Zolanski. On September 9, 2022, a second remix titled "Queen Mix" was released featuring multiple female rappers including JT of City Girls, BIA, Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V, and Maliibu Miitch. The original version of the song is included on Minaj's first greatest hits album Queen Radio: Volume 1 (2022).
