Forbes cites Nicki Minaj as most successful female rapper of all time

[GaGaAst 13,020]

While it may be difficult to believe, “Say So” is Minaj’s first No. 1 hit on the Hot 100. The most successful female rapper of all time has come close to claiming the throne before, but somehow she’s never managed to rise all the way. This latest smash is her eighteenth top 10 on the list.

The new champion is now the bestselling track in the country, having sold 66,000 copies. It is also the second most popular song on radio in the U.S.

Go Nicki. Slay the haters. 

Not a fan of her music, charting tricks and her behaviors but she has had a huge impact on RAP music. Gotta give that credit to her.

Most successful doesn't mean the best but congrats to her for knowing how to make a hit and being a business woman.

Who does it like her? Missy Elliot doesn't have more success than her, Lauryn Hill is a one album wonder, Cardi B is too new and the rest of female MCs as well.

She doesn't have a solo number one   the fact that Cardi B got there first...

Superbass deserved that numbah 1 spot

if her personality was something else, i would stan. talented for sure

and that's a fact

Not really a lot of people in that category compared to the male rappers at least as far as the ones who've actually made it. The fact that it took her so long to get a token #1 after over 10 years in the business and whoring herself out to countless features, it's not really impressive. Kudos to her for being the most prominent figure in female rap but at the same time

Say So would have made it to no.1 eventually but the gimmicks it took to get it to no.1....

She IS the best female rapper in the industry. Megan is second place.

Was there a lot of choice?  anyway, congrats Nicki, also with your first #1 hit on the Hot 100.

And just four of them are from her albums - one per album: Super Bass, Starships, Anaconda and Chun-Li.

Her stats are so inflated by those quick lil verses.

It reeks of desperation which makes it all the more unimpressive.
