Billie Eilish has made it clear who she believes holds the crown in female rap. During a recent conversation with Complex, the “Bad Guy” singer openly declared Nicki Minaj as the “G.O.A.T.” of rap. In the video, which was released on March 27, Eilish and her best friend, influencer Quen Blackwell, discussed their personal picks for the greatest in various categories. When it came to female rap, Billie didn’t hesitate, saying, “Nicki Minaj is like, obviously… Nicki is GOAT, for sure.”
This recognition comes after Eilish and Minaj teamed up on the track “Are You Gone Already” from Pink Friday 2. Billie has been a longtime admirer of Nicki, and their collaboration only solidified the mutual respect between the two artists. Nicki’s influence on the rap game, particularly for women in the genre, is undeniable, and it’s clear that Billie holds her in the highest regard.
