Central Cee made a song titled, “Doja”, mentioning the rapper and Doja has responded. Women have been one of the core topics in hip hop since the genre began. Rappers rap about women in most of their songs. Whether it is to glorify, berate, thank, or hate, rappers love talking about women. I don’t blame them. Men and women encounter each other every day, so why not talk about it. Specifically, though, there are women who get brought up more than others. Most of the times, it is an attention grabber or just a shoutout. Let’s look at some of the most famous women mentioned in hip hop lyrics.
10. Oprah Winfrey
Oprah is rich! And rappers know it and love it. She is also more famous than most of them, which makes it better. Rappers have thrown Oprah’s name in their songs left and right. Whether they wanted to date her or wanted her to be their sugar momma. Oprah is a wanted woman. There are artists who would love to take Steadman’s place.

9. Kim Kardashian
It’s too easy to mention Kim Kardashian in a song. Since she has hung out with Paris Hilton, she has been around numerous athletes, rappers, and tycoons. It’s a small world in Hollywood and word gets around quick. Rappers have either had ties to her, knows someone who had ties to her, or anticipate having ties to her.

8. Nicki Minaj
The Queen of rap has been turning heads for over a decade. When she first came in, all the attention went to her ass. As we haven’t seen a woman in rap with all that junk! It’s easy for rappers to put her name in a lyric as she is in the same league as them. She still gets the adoration as she gets better with age.

7. Nia Long
Nia Long is a favorite amongst rappers. Rappers have adored Long since the 90s. And still to this day, she is a wanted woman. Too bad Boston Celtics Head Coach Ime Udoka took her off the market.

6. Lori Harvey
Lori Harvey’s name just started being brought up in songs. She has been seen with artists like Bow Wow, Meek Mill, & Future. Word on the street, she is pretty cold hearted after calling it quits with Michael B. Jordan. Don’t let the fact that she’s Steve Harvey’s stepdaughter fool you.

5. Beyonce
Just like Rihanna, everyone loves Queen Bey. Even though she is married to Jay-Z, rappers still don’t hesitate to put her name in their lyrics. And out of respect for Hov, the artists are never disrespectful or derogatory. Well then there’s Kevin Gates who said in his latest freestyle he would let Beyonce piss on him. I’m not sure how Hov felt about that one

4. Karrine Stephans
Nicknamed “Superhead”, Karrine Stephans was known all over the industry. She was known for being with many rappers, most notably Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes. It was easy to put Superhead in a song with a name like that. She became so famous she even wrote a book about her experience in the industry.

3. Halle Berry
In the 1990s and early 2000s, many rappers mentioned Halle Berry in their songs. Whether it was to point out her beauty, her acting, or how they would treat her, Halle was a wanted woman.

She was hot on the Hollywood scene as she was always in the media.
2. Rihanna
You can hear Rihanna’s name mentioned a lot by rappers. Everyone loves Rihanna and wants to be with her. Now, that she is with ASAP Rocky, no one has a chance. Rappers have been mesmerized by Rihanna’s beauty, talent, and Barbadian accent since she started. Not too many people have gotten the chance to woo the Fenty founder, so why not get her attention by putting her in a song.

1. Monica Lewinsky
Monica Lewinsky has been mentioned in numerous hip hop songs. From 2 Chainz to Jeezy to Beyonce, Lewinsky’s name can be heard by many. Her infamous moment with President Bill Clinton will never be forgotten. It has been written in books and said many times on record. After Beyonce named dropped her on Renaissance, Lewinsky has called for her to remove her name from the song “Partition”.
