Earlier today, Billboard published their list of the hottest female rappers around right now. They considered a myriad of different criteria like chart success, quality of their albums, impact on the culture, touring success, and more. That led them to a top 10 list of artists any rap fan should be plenty familiar with. Flo Milli, JT, Latto, GloRilla, and Cardi B make up the bottom half of the list. Ice Spice, Doja Cat, and Megan Thee Stallion cracked the top five. Coming in at number two, behind only Nicki Mianj, is Sexyy Red.
That’s no surprise as she had an absolutely massive breakout year in 2023. On the back of her Hood Hottest Princess mixtape and numerous high-profile collaborations that followed, Red became a superstar. She followed it up with a new mixtape last month that debuted in the top 20 of the Billboard 200 this week. She took to Instagram to share a hyped reaction to her inclusion on Billboard’s new list. “SHOUT OUT TO US WE WINNIN 🤩🎀 BIG THANKS TO @billboard” her caption reads. In response to comments about her placement on the list she shared more thoughts. “It’s not about the rank we top 10 dats coo wimme 🤷🏽♀️ stay blessed” her comment reads. Check out her reaction to being included on the list below.
