"Bad and Boujee" on YouTube |
"Bad and Boujee" is a song by American hip-hop group Migos featuring American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. Written alongside producer Metro Boomin and co-producer G Koop, it was originally released to the Quality Control Music YouTube channel on August 27, 2016 before being officially released on October 28 by Quality Control Music, 300 Entertainment, and Atlantic Records as the lead single from the group's second studio album Culture (2017).[2][3][4]
In late December 2016, "Bad and Boujee" became an Internet phenomenon, spawning many memes with the lyrics "rain drop, drop top".[5] This viral trend, combined with Donald Glover's shoutout at the 2017 Golden Globes,[6] would help its commercial performance and cause the song to spike into the top ten and later peak at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week of January 21, 2017, making it the first number one single for both Migos and Lil Uzi Vert.[7] There were also many memes about member Takeoff's omission from the song.[8] The single received a nomination for Best Rap Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. The track has acquired 950 million Spotify plays as of November 2024.
