Rihanna has locked in another colossal win after becoming the first woman to have 10 songs with over 1 billion Spotify streams, and Nicki Minaj had some celebratory words for her.
On Friday RiRi took to her Instagram with a post announcing that she had achieved the rare feat. In her caption, the 35-year-old shared a verse highlighting reaching the milestone with no new music.
"Bad Gal billi…wit no new album…lemme talk my shit 😜🇧🇧," Rihanna wrote.
The tracks in question are "Needed Me," "Love on the Brain," "Diamonds," "Love the Way You Lie" with Eminem," "Work" featuring Drake, "Umbrella" featuring Jay-Z, "We Found Love" and "This Is What You Came For" with Calvin Harris, "Stay" featuring Mikky Ekko, and her collab with Kanye and Paul McCartney, "FourFiveSeconds."
Nicki Minaj caught wind of the post and showed love to her "Fly" collaborator in the comments writing, "Not Bad Gal billi/Poppin shit like a wheelie/I mean poppin like a pilly, like a really/Man Down ‘cuz she making a killy! SILLY!/Bout to be pushin out a new kid like Gillie/Caribbean girls run it & AWWLLL these btchs know da dilly."
The rapper wrapped with, "Okay bars 🤧🇧🇧🇹🇹."
While many of her fans were celebrating Rihanna's latest accomplishment, others let it be known they're desperate for new material from the Barbadian superstar. Rihanna hasn't released a full-length project in seven years, with her last album being ANTI which dropped in 2016.
"Girl stop playing and drop a song! It can be 10 seconds long! We will take anything," one fan wrote. Another said, "Everyone saying, no rush. BUT RUSHHHH. I've been waiting 7 years now." A third person said, "That's why we're listening to those 10 songs a billion times, cuz you not giving us no new music."
Rihanna last spoke about her highly anticipated album during an interview with British Vogue in March, where she said she puts pressure on herself to make a better album than ANTI. She acknowledged that attitude was "toxic" and "not the right way" to look at music because it's "an outlet and a space to create, and you can create whatever."
Nicki Minaj, meanwhile, took to her Instagram last week and revealed her newly titled album Pink Friday 2 will arrive Nov. 17.
