After spending most of the summer throwing shade at Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj is finally walking the walk on the chart.
Minaj's new single "Anaconda" knocked Azalea's smash hit "Fancy" out of the No. 1 spot on the digital hip-hop/R&B chart for the first time in months, according to HipHopDX.
But the victory is not total; Azalea still has three songs in the top 10, including "Fancy" (now No. 3), T.I.'s "No Mediocre" and "Black Widow."
As previously reported, Minaj was crowned the Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards and proceeded to throw shade at Azalea during her acceptance speech.
"What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it," she said.
Her statement was taken as an allusion to rumors that Azalea uses T.I. as a ghostwriter, which he denied.
But Minaj isn't the only person who seems to have an issue with Azalea's effortless climb to fame.
R&B singer and reality television star K. Michelle also offered up her opinion about Azalea and what some have perceived as her imitation of black women and Southern hip-hop.
"How can you be from another country and rap like you're from Memphis TN? But u don't hear me though #offended," she tweeted.
A couple weeks after Minaj's statements, the "Superbass" rapper decided to back off.
"My point of saying what I said was that women need to have a perspective," she told The Fader. "If we're out here saying that we're so confident, and we're so this and so that, but we don't even trust ourselves to write down our own thoughts and spit it on a beat? It just doesn't add up. I knew those were Lauryn's words [on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill], and it made me fall in love with her mind."
