Six other versions of the track were also released to bolster the sales of the song, including the clean version, "chopped & screwed" explicit and clean versions, and an instrumental and clean and explicit DJ-edited version.
It topped both the Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales Chart, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs.
The song becomes Megan's third leader on the Hot 100, but her first solo hit so far. She topped the charts with Cardi B in "WAP" and "Savage" with Beyonce.
Infamously, the track has become the subject of the revival of her feud with Nicki Minaj. Megan Thee Stallion publicly taunted Nicki Minaj by alluding to her husband Kenneth Petty's sex offense by using the legal jargon Megan's Law.
"Thank you thank you thank you ! Thank you GOD, Thank you MAMA HOLLY, Thank you to EVERYONEEEEE that took the time out of their week to go hard and make this happen! I love you I appreciate you I'm so grateful likeeee #HISS is number 1 !!! Thank you for RUNNING IT UP HOTTIES Let's keep going hard and staying positive ! Love yall" she said in a celebratory tweet.
In the past week, Megan Thee Stallion launched a "Cobra" merchandise giveaway and has since received 3.5 million entries. Nicki Minaj fans complained that when Nicki asked for receipts the sales for "Pink Friday 2" were slashed.

On the other hand, Nicki Minaj's "Big Foot," her response to Megan Thee Stallion's diss track, debuted at No. 23 with only four weeks of tracking period.
It also earned Nicki Minaj's 148th entry at the Billboard Hot 100, the most for any rapper, and also her 75th Top 40 hit of her career.
