What's The Real Meaning Of We Go Up By Nicki Minaj? Here's What We Think

Posted by Arica Deslauriers on Saturday, May 18, 2024

"We Go Up" is all about Nicki Minaj bragging about her status in the rap game — and rightly so! The star discusses how successful she is in the hit, as well as throwing some serious shade. Minaj boats about her impressive wealth (Minaj has a net worth of $100 million, in case you were wondering!) as she raps, per Genius, "Ayo, this week, 'Rari ('Rari), next week, Lambo (Lambo)" referring to buying Ferraris and Lamborghinis. It looks like that will be demonstrated in the music video too, with images popping up fancy cars that were seemingly used while filming. The star also seemingly raps about fancy belongings, noting, "Louis bag, oh, that Louis bag more colorful than a peacock," which appeared to be about Louis Vuitton bags.

She then takes aim at what appears to be other females in the music industry who have called her out, but doesn't explicitly name any names (though we know Minaj has beef with quite a few people). "Uh, you b*****s is salty, I give them pressure/Uh, you b*****s is salty, pass me the pepper," she raps, before telling the unnamed haters, "After all of that surgery, you are still ugly/Now that is what gets me." She also takes aim in several other lines, including, "These b*****s bums, when I see them, they make me throw up/I wish a b**** would spin, I'm like, 'Please show up'/When you talk to me, please don't bring a cheap h** up."
