3. Migos, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B – MotorSport (Official Video)
About:
“MotorSport” is a song recorded by American hip-hop group Migos and Trinidadian-American rappers Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. It was released on October 27, 2017, as the lead single from Migos’ third studio album Culture II (2018). It was produced by Murda Beatz and Cubeatz, and the producers wrote it with the artists. It reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Migos’ second top 10 in the country. Cardi B won a BET Hip Hop Award for Best Featured Verse for the song.
“MotorSport” marks the first time Migos, Minaj, and Cardi B have worked together on a song; although Offset had already collaborated with Minaj on London on da Track’s “No Flag”, and with Cardi B on her own track “Lick”. On October 25, 2017, radio station Hot 93.7 confirmed that a collaboration between Migos, Minaj, and Cardi B would be released two days later. On October 26, the night before its release, Migos previewed the track on Power 105.1’s music celebration, Powerhouse. On October 27, the song premiered online and was released worldwide as a digital download. Soon after it was released, Joe Budden from Everyday Struggle speculated that Kanye West was originally on the song and that he’s the one who actually pitched the idea of getting Minaj on it. It was also rumored that Cardi B and Minaj were dissing each other on the song, which both rappers denied. Minaj commented on the rumors saying that the song was originally only a collaboration between her and Quavo, that she was “in full support of Cardi B’s ‘Motor Sport’ feature” and that “the conspiracy theorists are just so tired”, while Cardi B said that “people wouldn’t be satisfied even if [we] was making out” and “I don’t really have the time”.
