Minaj's also got her first No. 1 hit recently when she appeared on a remix of Doja Cat's "Say So." With the achievement, Minaj broke the record for most Hot 100 appearances without a No. 1 song, clocking in at 109 entries, 19 being in the top 10.
The outlet also reports that the song had the highest weekly sales sum -- starting with 116,000 units -- since Taylor Swift's "Me!," which was released last year.
Hernandez was arrested on racketeering, weapons and drugs charges in 2018. A testimony against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang and his cooperation with prosecutors helped him land a spot in a private prison for his own safety, as well leniency.
