Remy Ma and Lil Kim have much to celebrate this year.
For, after spending much of the last decade eclipsed by Nicki Minaj, 2017 has seen them cultivate a fan base keen to support them as they rebuild their careers in lanes far removed from their versatile nemesis.
How the base they now share is showing their love?
Streaming.
Good news for the Hip-Hop titans below…
Their collaborative cut ‘Wake Me Up’ bombed viciously following its November 8th release and has failed to sell or stream enough units to impact the Billboard Hot 100.
A worrying sign for Ma’s label Columbia? Perhaps.
Why it’s not the end of the world?
The 1.9 million spins the jam has generated on Spotify alone powered by Remy’s well-received role in the series ‘Love & Hip Hop‘ and the success she enjoys as a fully booked live act.
‘Wake’ can be expected to sail above and beyond the 2 million streams barrier by the end of this week and support the rapper’s forthcoming album ‘7 Winters and 6 Summers‘ which will hit retailers in 2018.
With all of the above in mind, ‘Wake’s failure to fly on a pure sales front doesn’t indicate that the general public isn’t interested in her for her streaming gains prove that we all are.
However, with all the hype and backing she’s received since her homecoming in 2014, commercial expectations for ‘7 Winters’ should be high as she’s now had over three years to lay the foundations for its arrival.
Do you think it will fare well?
2 million streams? A whole 2 million wow
I really liked this song and wish it had more success. New rap fans prefer trash gucci gang these days..
Could you just appreciate what you like without disrespecting other ppls choice of art or music? Is that possible? Dam
Yeah 2018 is going to be all about the woman
This song could have been way bigger had they had more support from their peers. Not once did Cardi or any other chick help promote like we all did for Cardi. What people fail to realize that this collab was history for female rap. Ain’t no way this song is not supposed to have charted by now. Especially with all this bubble gum rapping topping the charts.
y’all spend too much d-mn time hating on Nicki Minaj, instead of supporting Y’all so-called favs. and what history are you talking about..there’s nothing historical about two female rappers doing a collab together, that ain’t nothing new. must people who f-ck with Remy ma like that is Nicki’s haters, because she dis Nicki. nothing more nothing less. the amount of Hype Remy ma get from she came out the pent and that carrier they gave her for dissing Nicki, all her sh!t should be in the top 40-20…like I said a lot of yall love to talk trash and pull down other. and where it counts for yall favs yall an’t doing s***.
Girl stfu
@Itsmegworl is mad haha
Tbh they didn’t read lily advertise the single, I think her joint with Chris Brown will be the official single. And anyway TGJ you’re so desperate to discredit these two it’s pathetic, Nicki is flopping too just like her last album!
Really advertise*
8girl Sam an old queen that’s forever coming for Kim and anyone associated with her. Nicki pays her honey, so she stand for icki
Nah y’all just not supporting y’all new fav lmao and Nicki’s last album didn’t flop try again Wig
Bodak Yellow came out on June 16. So what are you comparing Remy song too? It’s still climbing. Check the numbers.
it’s still bubbling under.
So. Go bathe ho
Ho eye thank u for letting them know
the song is dope and so is the video but tbh..nobody gives a fvck bout them
Personally I thinks that’s the problem no matter how jaw dropping and edgy their music/video is people won’t just feel them because peeps are not into them enough to really support them.
This numbers aren’t even that good for streaming.
Sam u such a hating queen. Nicki PAYS for her music to be played and its still flopping! Kim and Remy doing just fine. How is Nicki label feeling about her flopping all over the place u sissy?
Awww you called him a sissy but you on his site poor you. Nicki pays for her music to be played stfu with that lame excuse
Meanwhile, MotorSport just went #6 on Billboard making Cardi’s 3rd top ten and Nicki’s 15 top ten and 85th Billboard hit. ? Last week was 17, this week is #6. That’s a BIG a** leap. It’s going num 1 soon y’all.

Nicki Minaj been dropping so many features lately. Word on the streets is that her feature prices dropped to $50,000 a verse trying to stay relavant. Begging people like Ferg who didn’t ask her to be on the plain Jain remix watch ebro hot 97 interview with Ferg. Birdman broke. He losing he mansion. So that mean Forbes list is b******* just like Nicki networth. Birdman owes Lil Wayne $50 million dollars in royalties. At the moment Wayne is going through the courts to get Young Money dissolved from the Cash Money, Universal label. So in actually Nicki Minaj is stuck in limbo into Wayne goes to court. Sorry Barbz. No new music as of yet from Nicki Minaj
I guess 50k is a drop in the bucket you got that number from her 1st major song with Kanye and Jay when she said she gets that much without an album out.
So how come drake can drop new music projects so frequently then?
they t a joke… i don’t think anybody can take them seriously…
