The prose is tight and snappy, with appropriate detail but not excessively so. No stylistic issues I could find. The question mark on 1b is related to a specific sentence that may not be salvageable since the leaked audio had to be removed from this article; see 6. Otherwise, 1b is a pass.
Most of the sources are music and culture outlets (Complex, Rolling Stone, etc.), augmented by a few reviews and coverage in news-focused outlets such as the New York Times. Appropriate reference density. Earwig notes similarity to a few articles but the sections in question are quotes, such as those from Nicki Minaj.
The article maintains appropriate focus by explaining prior West-Minaj collaborations and the history of the track when it was a collaboration with 6ix9ine.
Media are all freely licensed. Captions provided. It's unfortunate the leaked audio and song descriptions had to be removed, but that was a necessary alteration to avoid potential legal issues. (That said, is the mention of "flutes and a bassline" from the lead section still verifiable without what had to be taken out?)
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
My only concern is the one lead sentence issue. Otherwise, I think this meets the GA criteria.
