Nicki Minaj Helps A Beloved Rapper Posthumously Return To The Top 10

Later this month, Juice WRLD’s estate will release another posthumous album from the late star. The rapper passed away in 2019 at the age of just 21, shortly after he’d become one of the hottest new names in hip-hop. Before his latest full-length The Party Never Ends arrives, a new single from the set has appeared, and the featured artist on the tune helps it become an immediate sales win.

Nicki Minaj joins Juice on “AGATS2 (Insecure),” which has become a huge hit on iTunes. The track, which dropped on Friday (November 15), currently takes up two spaces inside the highest tier on the list of the top-selling cuts in the U.S.

According to the American iTunes chart, “AGATS2 (Insecure)” is both the No. 2 and No. 5 bestselling song in the nation. Slightly altered versions help it appear twice inside the top 10 at the moment.

At the time of writing, the only artist keeping Minaj and Juice from dominating is Linkin Park. The band’s new album From Zero just arrived, and the final single shared from the project before it appeared, “Two Faced,” is still running the show on iTunes. The project marks the first for the hard rockers since the death of longtime frontman Chester Bennington, so it means a lot to fans of the band.

Minaj’s presence is surely helping “AGATS2 (Insecure)” become such a fast hit. While Juice still claims a large following, his recent previous releases haven’t performed quite as well sales-wise. The inclusion of the bestselling female hip-hop musician of all time means that millions of people will hear the cut who otherwise might not have, as she’s known to sell large numbers of any tune she shares.

“AGATS2 (Insecure)” is an acronym, and it stands for “All Girls are the Same,” though it’s the second of these songs. The original version was released in 2018, when Juice was a rising talent in the hip-hop space. His signature brand of emo-rap was still new, and it remains a standout in the late musician’s catalog.

“All Girls are the Same” reached No. 41 on the Hot 100, barely missing out on becoming a top 40 smash for the then-growing artist. It’s been certified eight-times platinum by the RIAA after moving at least eight million equivalent units in the United States alone. Now, part two has time to shine as the latest single from what appears to be Juice’s final posthumous album, and it may very well be his last hit.
