Nicki Minaj has dropped off her first solo single of 2023, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.”
Clocking in at approximately three-and-a-half minutes, the track features production work from Go Grizzly and Cheeze Beats. “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” samples Lumidee’s “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)” and hears the rapper refer to her 2018 Street Fighter-inspired cut “Chun Li” while touching on how she remains as No. 1 despite not releasing anything since Queen.
“Red Ruby Da Sleeze” is her first solo release since 2022’s “Super Freaky Girl,” which gave her her first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and marked the first time since 1998 that a hip-hop song by a solo female artist debuted at No. 1; Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” was the last cut to achieve that feat.
