Background

After collaborating on "5 Star" (Remix) and "Down in the DM" (Remix), "Rake It Up" marks the third time Yo Gotti and Nicki Minaj have worked together on a recording.[1] To promote the song, Gotti has, on May 30, 2017, teased the song on his Snapchat during a private boat party.[1] Minaj also played a snippet of the song on May 31, 2017 via her Instagram account, confirming that the track would be released the following day at midnight (EST).[2][3] Soon after the song was announced, critics wrote how Minaj was probably trying to "steal a little of her ex-boyfriend's (Meek Mill) thunder", since he was very recently featured on another Yo Gotti song called "Top Lookin Down".[2][3] On June 1, 2017, "Rake It Up" premiered online and was released worldwide as a digital download.
