Trinidad-born Nicki Minaj has moved to No. 3 on the list of rappers with the most Billboard Top 10 hits on the Hot 100 chart, trailing her mentor Lil Wayne and friend Drake.

She earned her 23rd Top 10 hit this last week when her collaboration with Ice Spice and Aqua ‘Barbie World’, debuted at No. 7.

This is the second Top 10 hit alongside Ice Spice this year, as the Princess Diana remix reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in April.

Nicki has moved above Eminem and Jay-Z who each have 22 Top 10 hits.

All this comes as she is gearing up to release her album, titled Pink Friday 2 on November 17.
