Ten years ago, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Lil Wayne dropped a track that didn’t just hit—it oozed. “Truffle Butter” wasn’t just a club banger. It was a mood, a movement, and for us at INYIM, a certified drinking-at-home anthem.
Released in January 2015 as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of Minaj’s The Pinkprint, “Truffle Butter” quickly became the unofficial song of the summer. With its hypnotic house-infused beat—courtesy of a sample from Maya Jane Coles’ “What They Say”—and verses that start with a relaxed:
“Thinkin’ out loud / I must have about a milli on me right now…”

the track was a subwoofer-ready, beat-heavy masterpiece that critics called “tastefully glimmering” and “slicker than anything else on the album.”
It peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, hit No. 1 on the Rhythmic chart, and earned a Grammy nod for Best Rap Performance. But more than stats, it gave us a vibe: sultry, confident, and unapologetically cool. Whether you were out on the town or pouring a drink at home, “Truffle Butter” was the soundtrack to your best self.
And yes, the lyrics were as bold as the beat. Nicki didn’t hold back:
“I might kiss the baddest bitch if you dare me / I ain’t never need a man to take care of me…”
She flossed, flexed, and reminded everyone why she’s still the highest-selling female rapper for the record. And Lil Wayne? He took it all the way there:
“Truffle butter on your [explicit] / Cuddle buddies on the low…”
And now, the definition you didn’t ask for—but probably Googled anyway. Let’s just say “Truffle Butter” isn’t just a luxury spread for your filet mignon. In slang terms, it’s a NSFW concoction born from a very specific sequence of adult activities. We won’t spell it out, but it involves a remix of bodily transitions that would make even the Urban Dictionary blush. Nicki and crew may have meant it as a metaphor for indulgence, but the internet had other ideas. You’ve been warned.
A decade later, “Truffle Butter” still slaps. Still seduces. Still makes us want to dim the lights and turn the volume all the way up.
We’re always raising a glass to the tracks that defined a moment. If “Truffle Butter” was your summer soundtrack—or your solo sip anthem—drop us a comment. Let’s talk Minaj, let’s talk memories, let’s talk what’s next.
