"Mama" (stylized in all caps)[1] is a song by American rapper 6ix9ine featuring Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj and fellow American rapper Kanye West from the former's debut studio album, Dummy Boy (2018).
The three artists were supposed to film a music video for the track in Beverly Hills, but it was never finished due to a shooting on set, though none of them were injured.[2] Surveillance footage showed gunmen firing on the set.[3] On November 16, 2018, 6ix9ine claimed while visiting The Breakfast Club that the video had "already been shot", but two days later he was set to show up to shoot additional footage for the video but was arrested instead on racketeering charges. Since no word have come out of the video since the arrest it has been indicated that it has been scrapped.[4]
"Mama" debuted at number 68 on the UK Singles Chart upon the release of Dummy Boy.[5] Within the same week, it reached number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 51 on the Canadian Hot 100 and rose to its peak of number 16 in Canada the next week.[6] "Mama" performed best in Slovakia, charting at number 11 on the Singles Digitál Top 100.
