"Super Freaky Girl" is a song by rapper Nicki Minaj from her fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2 (2023). It was released on August 12, 2022, by Young Money and Republic Records as the lead single from the album. It is an upbeat, raunchy song that samples Rick James' 1981 single "Super Freak," as Minaj raps about a girl having sexual fantasies and endeavors, while also boasting about her career. It received comparisons to Minaj's 2014 single "Anaconda," as both tracks include classic samples and sexual lyrics.
Upon its release, the song broke the Spotify record for the biggest debut for a solo female rap song. The song debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, which marked the third US number-one single of Minaj's career as well as her first number-one song as a solo artist. Internationally, the song has topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand, becoming Minaj's first number-one single in both countries. The song also reached the top ten in multiple other countries including Canada, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Philippines, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The song won Best Hip-Hop at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and Best Song at the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards.
An extended version of the song, called the "Roman Remix", was surprise-released on August 18, 2022, whereby Minaj incorporates her alter ego Roman Zolanski for a third verse on the track. On September 9, 2022, a second remix titled "Queen Mix" was released featuring multiple female rappers including JT of City Girls, BIA, Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V, and Maliibu Miitch. All versions of the song were included on various reissues of Minaj's first greatest hits album Queen Radio: Volume 1 (2022).
