‘Billboard Unfiltered’ Discusses Hottest Female Rappers List, 2025 Predictions & More

Billboard Unfiltered returned with a brand new episode on Friday (Dec. 13), and some new faces joined the fellas for the 25th installment of the series.
Vibe‘s Regina Cho and Amber Corrine make their Unfiltered debut alongside co-hosts Carl Lamarre and Kyle Denis for the final episode of 2024, during which they also discuss predictions for 2025.
Billboard‘s Top 10 Hottest Female Rappers of 2024 list created some waves around the culture, and the foursome debated what they liked and didn’t, as well as who they hope to see make a leap next year.
“Any list that does not include GloRilla at No. 1 I feel like causes an uproar because it is undeniable the year she has had,” Cho said. “It is so remarkable how in June, Doechii was not on the list, and now she’s at No. 6. The ascension she’s had in the last few months is so amazing to see … My year was defined in Latto, Megan Thee Stallion and Glo.”
As a resident of Gag City, Corrine wanted to see Nicki Minaj get the nod over Megan Thee Stallion at No. 2. “I’m very happy to see Nicki Minaj in the top five, but I would maybe make her No. 2,” she said. “I’d like to see Tierra Whack too.”
Denis is very happy with how the list turned out, as JT moved up a slot compared to June’s iteration. “I’m happy to see my girl JT move up a spot. I’m incredibly proud of the year she’s had,” he shared. “Latto was another defining artist regardless of genre or gender for me … If I had to champion one person who didn’t make the list, it would probably Little Simz.”
Lamarre, who spearheaded the list, enjoyed the reception to it, but especially the humility displayed by Cardi B at No. 10, as he sees a dominant 2025 in her future. “To be quite frank, there were discussions about her being off the list altogether,” he admitted. “We’re used to seeing Cardi in superstar form and she has not been that … She took it with grace … I think Cardi is going to put herself in position to have an explosive 2025, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her go from 10 to one.”
Also discussed during the episode was Jay-Z, who in a civil lawsuit filed Dec. 8 was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards afterparty with Diddy. A Jane Doe made the assault allegations against the two men in the suit filed by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee. Hov has vehemently denied all allegations against him, calling the suit “extortionate.”
“I wasn’t shocked because it felt like they were coming for Jay-Z next,” Corrine said. With Jay-Z being a fixture in his life as his favorite rapper, Denis shared that his “stomach sank” after hearing the shocking lawsuit’s details. “That was pretty heavy to sit with. I’m gonna wait to see how this plays out,” he said. “My heart broke for Blue [Ivy].”
