"Trollz" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper 6ix9ine and Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj. It was released as the second single from 6ix9ine's second studio album, TattleTales (2020). It was postponed twice before being released on June 12, 2020, as the follow-up to "Gooba", released four weeks earlier. It was written by the artists, along with its producers Sadpony and Jahnei Clarke, the latter having also produced "Gooba". The song marked the third collaboration between the artists, following 2018's "Fefe" (with Murda Beatz) and "Mama" (with Kanye West). Lyrically, the song takes aim at internet trolls.

On June 16, 2020, a new version of the song was released, featuring a different verse from Minaj, a new verse by Hernandez, and an altered beat. The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the first song to top the chart from an indie label since XXXTentacion's "Sad!" in 2018.[1]
