Following the release of the record, Nicki Minaj teased a surprise for fans, tweeting: “If the Barbz are good they’ll get another surprise. #SuperFreakyGirl trend it if you want it…”

The Queen rapper’s latest win coincides with the 11-year anniversary of her RIAA diamond-certified mega-hit “Anaconda” peaking in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart at No. 3.

Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” win also underscores her upcoming MTV VMA’s honor as the 2022 recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

After Nicki was announced as the recipient of this year’s award, Missy Elliott — the first female rapper to win the Video Vanguard Award in 2019 — congratulated the Queen lyricist on Twitter writing: “Congratulations to @NICKIMINAJ on this achievement!”

Nicki Minaj quickly replied: “Mumbling & cackling??? nah omg thank you Missy. You kicked down this [door]. Nothing but Love & Respect for your iconic artistry. #VMAs #NickiVmas #VideoVanguard.”
