Beyonce? Taylor Swift? Megan Thee Stallion?
Guess which female artist curses the most in her song lyrics?
A recent study by language experts at Preply analyzed 3,632 songs by the top Billboard 100 female artists to determine who uses "the most explicit language." The songs, the group reported, spanned multiple genres and decades.
Coming in at No 1. on the list: Trinidadian-born rapper and singer Nicki Minaj, who the study found has used 1,612 curse words in her lyrics.
"Every one in 30 words uttered by the 41-year-old hip-hop singer" is a curse word, according to the study. Dubbed the "Queen of Rap," her most used curse word, “b*tches” is used 231 times alone in her songs.
At No. 2 on the list: Houston-born rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who the study found swears most frequently in her lyrics: 474 cuss words in her songs. The study found the 28-year-old artist swore "double as much as Nicki Minaj," who leads the ranking with the highest volume of cuss words.
Coming in last on the list: Nashville-based singer, superstar Taylor Swift, who has sworn 60 times in her more than 240 songs.
