It's a partnership in hip-hop that fans probably thought they'd never see: Cardi B and Nicki Minaj on the same song — without a glimpse of animosity in sight. Amid rumors that there was a beef brewing between the two, the female forces recently paired up with Migos on a single that has listeners going completely insane over its lyrical content. However, Cardi B and Nicki Minaj's "MotorSport" collaboration also seems to be causing a buzz for another majorly empowering reason — unity amongst female rappers.

Throughout the years, fans of hip-hop have become all too familiar with the disparaging deficiency of women within the rap genre. And to make matters even worse, the history of female unity in hip-hop, with a few exceptions, has long been documented by discord and infighting among those who risen to the top of the largely male-dominated industry.

As Nicki Minaj continues to, arguably, hold the crown as the top female rapper in the industry, it's worth noting that there really hasn't been anyone to come close to the accomplishments she's achieved over the past decade. With that said, however, it seems that 2017 has officially become the year of Cardi B within the rap world. As the new "it girl" of hip-hop, Cardi's infectious lyrical delivery and undeniable quality of likability quickly turned her into fan favorite. Following a stint on VH1's Love & Hip Hop, the popularity of Cardi's debut single "Bodak Yellow" boosted her into mainstream attention as she became the first solo female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 Chart since Ms. Lauryn Hill, a feat that took more than 19 years to conquer.

Given the history of hip-hop and its sometimes bravado nature, plenty of people assumed that Cardi's achievements would somehow become a point of contention for the two women as chatter began to surface about their rumored bad blood. However, "MotorSport," the first single from Migos' forthcoming album Culture II, entered the scene on Friday, Oct. 27 to prove just the opposite.

And it seems that fans couldn't be any happier about seeing two of their faves share the spotlight. Some of the fan reactions to the alliance between these feminine forces are simply priceless.
