Nicki Minaj continues to stack up one accolade after another as her 2023 hit “FTCU” has now reached new heights.
On Friday (April 19), the Republic Records single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, meaning that it has now generated over 1 million sales units since its release last year.
That very same day, Queen Barb dropped a “SLEEZEMIX” of the Pink Friday 2 cut, which expands to “fuck the club up.” The alternate version adds a new glow to the blockbuster with features from Travis Scott, Chris Brown and Sexyy Red.
Injecting some raunchiness into the speaker-slapping anthem, La Flame raps: “She gon’ think I popped a pill ’cause I fucked her ’til she burst/ Yeah, let me see you work/ Can you twerk, can you squirt?/ All this money on me soon as I hit the club, they get alert.”
Breezy keeps pulses racing by bragging about sleeping with an OnlyFans star, while the “Pound Town” hitmaker closes things out by reminding listeners she isn’t to be played with.
“In the club, fucked up, hoes muggin’, I’ll beat you ass/ Who think they can fuck with Sexyy?/ I be hangin’ with them shooters, so like why would you test me?/ Yeah, I’m a bad bitch, but this shit can get messy/ I ain’t gotta lift a finger, I just look at my bestie,” she warns.
Back in January, Nicki Minaj revealed that the song in question was originally meant for Drake‘s For All the Dogs. She also shared that it was an early favorite of J. Cole’s when she played him material from her latest album.
“After I played him [‘Let Me Calm Down,’ which features the Fayetteville native], I played him ‘FTCU,’” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I was like, ‘Yo, I don’t like playing my music, but I’ll let you hear another song.’ So I played him that. And when that second verse came in, his reaction is why that song is so high [on the tracklist].
“Because Drake had originally loved that song. While he was working on his album, he was thinking about if that could fit for his album as well. Because I sent it to him when I did it, because I loved the beat. But I wasn’t sure about the chorus.”
She continued: “So then when J. Cole was listening to it and he was bopping, and then the, ‘High heels on…’ When that dude was saying goodbye and that shit dropped. If you would’ve seen him, it was the dopest fucking thing.
“He looked at me and he said, ‘I’ve never heard anything like that before.’ […] But that’s what made me go, ‘Oh, this is something that I should just leave alone.’ And you know what I said to him?
“I said, ‘Yeah, I like the song. I know I bodied the verse and I know the beat is hard as fuck, but I don’t like the chorus.’ I was like, ‘Because you wouldn’t be able to play it on radio.’ He was like, ‘Who cares?’ He was like, ‘Man, fuck the radio.’”
