"Dip" is a song recorded by American rapperTyga for his seventh studio albumLegendary (2019). It was released on September 19, 2018, byLast Kings Records andEmpire Distribution as the third single from the album. An alternate version of the song featuring rapperNicki Minaj was released on October 29, 2018, along with an accompanying music video.[1]
Tyga spoke about the making of the track in a 2019 interview withBillboard: “I was in the studio with [Nicki Minaj]. I went to her house, we sat there and she wrote the record. Being there while she was recording reminded me of oldYoung Money days when we all used to be in the studio together.”[2]
An accompanying music video for the remix version of the song was released on Tyga'sYouTube andVevo accounts on October 29, 2018. It was directed by Tyga and Arrad for Riveting Entertainment.[3] Tyga said the music video “was inspired heavily” by "Scream" byMichael Jackson andJanet Jackson.[4][5]
"Dip" debuted at number 83 on theBillboard Hot 100, becoming the 100th entry on the Hot 100 forNicki Minaj. Minaj also became the fifth act to do so and the first female artist to achieve this feat. It moved 20 spots to number 63 the following week. On January 22, 2019, Dip was certified Gold ByRIAA after selling 500,000 units in the United States of America. The certification is Tyga's third after "Taste" and "Swish", prior to his 2019 albumLegendary.
