Background and release


After collaborating on "5 Star" (Remix), "Coca Coca" and "Down in the DM" (Remix); "Rake It Up" marks the fourth time Yo Gotti and Nicki Minaj have worked together on a recording.[2] To promote the song, Gotti has, on May 30, 2017, teased the song on his Snapchat during a private boat party.[2] 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).[3][4] 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".[3][4] On June 1, 2017, the song premiered online and was released worldwide as a digital download.



Music video


The official music video for the song premiered August 21, 2017, on Tidal,[5] but was subsequently released on YouTube on August 26. It was shot in Miami, and features a guest appearance from Blac Chyna.
