Lists are now hotly debated topics. After the uproar over Apple Music’s list of the 100 greatest albums of all time, music lovers are still trying to get over it. Let Billboard take the lead now. The publication published a list of the most popular female rappers currently, and the comment section was filled with gripes and points of view, as expected. Critics said it left out less well-known but more creatively ambitious rappers, while supporters said it was missing key elements. Nicki Minaj’s claim to the top spot angered some.

To be fair, none of the other rappers on the list could have gotten their start without Minaj. A number one song and a record-breаking tour have also contributed to her recent comeback. The numbers put Nicki Minaj at the pinnacle of female rapper success, and that doesn’t even account for her immense influence. Doja Cat, GloRilla, and Cardi B have all said that Minaj influenced their personal style. Considering all the doors that Minaj opened for female rappers, GloRilla went as far as to sаy that Minaj gets too much hate. Regardless, the careers of rappers such as Megan Thee Stallion and Sexyy Red have skyrocketed in the past few years. Second place goes to them, and third place to them. The top five is completed by Ice Spice and Doja Cat, with Doja Cat having a more traditional pop star background.

Doja Cat, though, has been far more successful than Megan or Sеxyy Red, as some fans have pointed out. As a featured artist and a solo artist, she has scored multiple number one singles, and her albums sell more than anybody else on the list. “Why is Megan ranked higher than Doja?” one user wondered, while another shared the same sentiment: “Lol, there’s no way Meg is better than Doja.” There were others who thought Megan ought to have been first. Some viewers thought Sеxyy Red deserved to be named “hottest” since she has been the center of attention the most so far in 2024. “Sеxy is definitely the most popular,” one Instagram user commented.

Commissions were the next focus. Rapsody was the one nаme that was missing and that really irritated fans. With the release of her critically acclaimed album Please Don’t Cry in May, the North Carolina native solidified her position as the most esteemed female rapper in the industry. “No Rapsody is an automatic ignore,” one Instagram user commented. “Rapsody is LIGHT years better than this entire list,” someone else wrote. “No shade tho.” Che Noir, Lola Brooke, and Kamaiyah were among the other notable names mentioned as deserving of consideration. Is the Billboard list something you can get behind? Among those who were promoted, who was passed over?
