Ice Spice continues to make her mark as her powerhouse “Karma” collaboration with Taylor Swift has written her into the history books, even breaking a record held by the Queen of Hip Hop, Nicki Minaj.
According to Chart Data, the red-hot Bronx rapper earned the biggest streaming debut for a female rapper in global Spotify history thanks to the star-studded remix.
The song, which was released on Friday (May 26) as a bonus track on Swift’s new deluxe album Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition), racked up 5.036 million streams on the platform on its first day. That figure propelled “Karma” to No. 5 on the global Spotify chart, making it the top new entry.
It also helped Ice Spice earn the biggest streaming day of her nascent career on Spotify, accounting for almost half of her 10.5 million plays on May 26.
Previously, Nicki Minaj held the record for the biggest streaming debut for a female rap song on Spotify with her chart-topping “Super Freaky Girl,” which opened with 3.021 million streams following its release in August 2022, per ChartData.
