"Stupid Hoe" (or its radio edited title "Stupid Stupid") is a song by Trinidadian rapper and singer Nicki Minaj. The song was written by Minaj and DJ Diamond Kuts, the latter of which handled the production. It was released through Cash Money Records on December 20, 2011, from Minaj's second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), two weeks after the release of the album's first promotional single "Roman in Moscow".[2]
Following the release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, critics suggested that the track may have contained attacks directed at Lil' Kim due to many of the song's derogatory lyrics.[3] Kim later suggested in an interview with 105's Breakfast Club that the song "Automatic" was similar to her unreleased material, also calling Minaj "obnoxious and catty".[4]
An accompanying music video for the song was shot and directed by Hype Williams. The video created what is now known as the Vevo Record which is based on the number of people who have viewed a music video in its first 24 hours of its release on Vevo. In the following week of the song's release, it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 81. After the video's release, the song peaked at number 59. It also charted in Canada and the United Kingdom and was certified Gold in Australia.
