"Nicki Minaj, definitely Top 5 Female Artist of All Time," he said in a brief clip. "She definitely in the Top 5. For me though, just for me, you know what I'm sayin' I think majority of people in the world, she definitely Top 5." He made sure to tag Nicki in his post to let her know that was publicly showing her love.

Young Thug isn't wrong; in conversations regarding the "top" women in Rap, Nicki's name is a staple on the list. Those lists, of course, are subject to wide debates among Hip Hop fans who go at it about who deserves what spot and who truly is the best. Thugger has made at least one of his choices clear.
