After watching her 2022 single, ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ become her first solo Hot 100 #1 hit (and longest-charting tune on the tally since 2012’s ‘Starships’), Rap Queen Nicki Minaj is undoubtedly hoping her long-awaited new song – ‘Red Ruby Da Red’ – gets that same reception.

Featuring a prominent sample of Lumidee‘s 2003 hit, ‘Never Leave You (Uh Oh),’ ‘Ruby’ shines as Minaj’s return after a lengthy hiatus.

“Only on them C’s if it’s breeze (Uh-oh, uh-oh) / Red Ruby Da Sleeze, Chinese on my sleeve / These wannabe Chun-Li’s, anyway, (Nǐ Hǎo, uh-oh) / Who the f**k told b***hes they was me now? (Uh-oh, ooh) / I knew these b****hes was slow, I ain’t know these b***hes senile (Ooh).” she spits on the blazing track.

Packaged with cover art similar to that of 2018’s top 10 hit ‘Chun-Li,’ the song’s delivery heightens anticipation for its forthcoming music video.

Until it arrives, hear ‘Ruby’ inside.

This award season has seen the legendary actress honored in earnest for her stunning performance as Queen Ramonda in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.’

Prior to the star receiving the honor, That Grape Juice‘s Shar Jossell caught up with her on the red carpet – where she opened up about this season of “gratitude.” She playfully welcomed continued buzz around Ariana DeBose‘s now infamous BAFTA performance and the oh-so-apt lyric we’ve been singing since – “Angela Bassett Did The Thing”!

Queen of Funk Chaka Khan has fans of Adele, Mariah Carey, and Mary J. Blige in a funk after she took to ‘The Originals’ podcast recently to suggest she was disappointed the divas ranked higher than her on Rolling Stone’s infamous “200 Greatest Singers” list.
