“Her ass on Minaj/I got her locked in as Onika”
On August 30, Esparo — one of Giant Music’s newest signees — released a new single titled ‘Onika’ from his forthcoming album (no confirmed release date shared yet). On the Mike Mvjor, Meech, and AUSGOD production, the hazel-eyed artist raps about dealing with women who look like vixens, his deceased friends, and a pink Lamborghini. Joining, New Orleans rapper Rob49 rhymes about being in the trenches with big ass guns and getting paid for features. The arrival of this record couldn’t be more coincidental.
At least a week or so later, Nicki Minaj — real name Onika Tanya Maraj — publicly criticised JAY Z’s choice to book Kendrick Lamar instead of Lil Wayne, one the world’s most influential artists ever to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. As we could imagine, everyone from Stephen A Smith to Memphis Bleek added their thoughts and hot-takes to the bag. Hopefully, and eventually, the “Queen of Rap” receives another bouquet for her hard work that doesn’t go unnoticed.
Stream the single below, and stay tuned for the official music video. Recently, the artists met up in New York City to film the song named after the chart-topping legendary superstar, Nicki Minaj.
The official cover art features her iconic pink wig, a way for Esparo, her fellow Queensite, to pay homage to what she has done to change the landscape of modern Hip-Hop music — especially for women who are rapping.
