"Ric Flair Drip" is a song by American rapper Offset and American record producer Metro Boomin. It was included on their collaborative studio album with 21 Savage, Without Warning (2017). Upon the album's release, it charted at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] After its release as the lead single,[3] on March 1, 2018, and a subsequent music video starring Ric Flair himself, it rose to number 13,[4] becoming both Metro Boomin and Offset's highest-charting song as lead artists at the time, until the release of Metro's "Like That", which would peak at number 1.[5][6] It is prominently featured in the WWE 2K19 soundtrack, particularly in the "Ric Flair Collector's Edition" version of the game.[7] The song has amassed over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify, making it the 271st most played song ever on the streaming service.[8] It is also the second most streamed song of all time on Spotify's influential RapCaviar playlist.[9] The song has been credited for popularizing the term "drip", a slang expression denoting one's fashionability and excess swagger.[10][11]
