Nicki Minaj is back with her first single of 2023, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which she released on Friday (March 3) via Young Money Entertainment and Republic Records.

“Red Ruby Da Sleeze, Chinese on my sleeve/ These wannabe Chun-Li’s, anyway, nǐ hǎo/ Who the f— told bi—es they was me now?” she raps over Lumidee‘s 2003 smash “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)” while also referencing her 2018 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit and alter-ego “Chun-Li.”

“Red Ruby Da Sleeze” marks her first solo single since 2022’s “Super Freaky Girl,” which became the rapper’s career-first solo Hot 100 No. 1 hit and the first No. 1 debut for a hip-hop song by a female artist with no accompanying acts since Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.

Minaj was recently ranked No. 7 on Billboard and Vibe‘s 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list and the No. 10 on Billboard‘s Greatest Pop Stars of 2022 list. She also emerged as the winner of Billboard‘s inaugural Power Artist 2022 – Fan Choice bracket, where fans voted from the 32 artists who made the biggest impact on Billboard‘s 2022 year-end charts.

Nicki Minaj’s natural beauty is taking over the internet, and her fans are totally hair for it. The rapper this week posted a series of videos of herself with little to no makeup and clips of her long, natural hair.

In the first video, Minaj is seen posing with a pulled back ponytail and laid edges. She also posted several videos of her hairstylist combing, smoothing and straightening her mid-back length hair with a brush and blowdryer.

“I’m L Long hair don’t care,” the “Feeling Myself” rapper wrote in a caption alongside the carousel of images.

Since posting, Minaj’s videos and photos have racked up more than 1 million likes and truckloads of comments from her fans. TV host and actress La La Anthony commented on the post with several heart-eye emojis, saying Minaj was “fresh face looking.” Another Instagram user chimed in, saying, “I’m sorry but this is infinitely more beautiful than your wigs,” referencing the colorful hair and blonde wigs the rapper typically sports.

Minaj later followed up with another video, giving everyone a better look at her natural strands. In the video, someone can be overheard saying “no tracks, no wig.” 

Minaj’s second post also addressed criticism from users who claimed her original videos were not a truthful representation of her natural hair.

“If you wanna know how thick my hair is go ask the ppl who do it how long it takes to straighten it out,” she wrote in the caption. “We all have diff texture follicles.” Minaj made headlines in 2014 for a similar post, after she shared an image of herself holding up a ponytail full of her natural hair with the caption, “No perm. No extensions.”
