"Move Ya Hips" is song by American rapper A$AP Ferg featuring Nicki Minaj and first-time collaborator, MadeinTYO, released on July 30, 2020 as the lead single from Ferg's third mixtape Floor Seats II. This marks Ferg and Minaj's third collaboration, following "Plain Jane (Remix)" and "Runnin".
Due to Minaj's particular vocal inflections in the clips, fans have speculated this track marks the return of Harajuku Barbie.
History[]
The song was previewed by Nicki's longtime collaborator DJ Clue on Instagram live in May 2020, soon thereafter going viral on Twitter. Initially presumed to be a scrapped track, both ASAP Ferg and MadeinTYO confirmed they intend to release the track, the former stating "sooner than soon," and the latter sharing an extended clip, including his contribution to the song, on his Twitter.
Minaj instructed fans to demand the song from A$AP Ferg if they wanted it to release.
On July 27, 2020 A$AP Rocky tweeted:
"SUMBODY TELL @ASAPferg 2 DROP DAT SHIT WIT HIM N NICKI ASAP"
After which Minaj confirmed the songs release on July 30, 2020.
The song released at 8 AM Pacific Standard Time and was quickly added to significant streaming playlists, a feat rare for Nicki Minaj songs.
Despite earning an alleged 110k+ debut sales week, A$AP Ferg and his team did not report digital sales to Billboard, thus the song debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[Nicki Minaj:]
It's that time again
Fergie, come out and play
[MadeinTYO:]
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Ooh)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Skrrt)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Ooh)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay
[A$AP Ferg:]
Diamonds all on my gums (Gums, yeah)
Talk all my shit, I got runs (Runs)
Hole in my jeans like I'm Grunge (Grunge)
Fuckin' that bitch in the buns (Buns)
She suck on my dick 'til it's numb (Yeah, numb)
Pockets is fat like the clumps (Clumps)
Rappers is lookin' like lunch
I'm makin' a meal when I munch (Let's go, woo)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving she tell me to stay (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Got a new loft in Harlem, you know, Fergie ain't move to L.A (Woo)
Burberry on my collar (Ooh), diamonds, they still in my face (Woo)
You don't want no problems (Ooh), Fergie be settin' 'em ablaze (Ooh)
[MadeinTYO:]
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Ooh)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Skrrt)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Ooh)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay
[Nicki Minaj (A$AP Ferg):]
All of you bitches is food
If you the opps, you gon' be singin' the blues
Feelin' like Bishop in Juice
Word to my dude, this Jimmy Choo on my shoes
All of my n*ggas is makks
This is a fact, this ain't no cap
All of my bitches is bad, word to my dad
They know we get to the bag
Move my hips, okay
Tell him to go, then I tell him to stay, hey
Baby, it's okay, I have been having one hell of a day, yay
Saint Laurent all on my shades, then I pull up in a cherry Mercedes, yay
Strawberry shortcake hair, Chinese bangs with my two braids, ayy
Straight from out of Queens headed to Harlem now
(I got the panda mink on and it's growlin' now)
Already bodied Plain Jane and we mobbin' now
(That's 'cause all these fake n*ggas try to rob my style)
Yo, these bitches really be slow, tell 'em I'm Billy the G.O.A.T
(I'm getting that dough, my neck and my wrist really glow)
(My model bitch all up in Vogue)
All up in Vogue, put on my Versace robe
Streak in my hair like I'm Rogue
(N*gga, you know, you better not tip on your toes)
(They grippin' the .40 below)
[MadeinTYO:]
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Ooh)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Skrrt)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay (Ooh)
Move your hips, okay
When I be leaving, she tell me to stay
