"Stupid Hoe" is a song by rapper Nicki Minaj. The song was written by Minaj and Tina Dunham. It was produced by DJ Diamond Kuts and released through Cash Money Records on December 20, 2011, from Minaj's second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), two weeks after the release of the album's first promotional single "Roman in Moscow".

Following the release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, critics suggested that the track may have contained attacks directed at Lil' Kim due to many of the song's derogatory lyrics. Kim later suggested in an interview with 105's Breakfast Club that the song "Automatic" was similar to her unreleased material, also calling Minaj "obnoxious and catty".

An accompanying music video for the song was shot and directed by Hype Williams. The video broke the record for the most views by a single artist within 24 hours of its release on VEVO. In the following week of the song's release, it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 81. After the video's release, the song peaked at number 59.

"Stupid Hoe" is described as an anthem to Minaj's female haters. The song's production features double-quick drum claps and strange squeaking sound effects, with Minaj performing in a quick rapping style. In the song, Minaj hints at her performance at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show in the lines "Put ya cape on, you a super hoe/2012, I’m at the Super Bowl." Minaj also references Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. Compared to previous mixtape release "I Get Crazy" by Erika Ramirez of Billboard, Minaj takes jabs at longtime rival Lil' Kim, stating "Bitch talkin' she the queen when she looking like lab rat", only to later sing in the song's outro "Stupid hoes is my enemy/ Stupid hoes is so wack/ Stupid hoe should have be-friended me/ Then she could have probably came back." Minaj growls ferociously as she states "These bitches is my sons and I don't want custody!" The song features Minaj singing the words "stupid hoe" in falsetto vocals. Vocally, Minaj performs her verses in different pitches, slowing down and speeding up her bars and stretching out some syllables, similar to the remix of Big Sean's single "Dance (A$$)". In the chorus of the song, her intonation makes her appear to be singing "You a stupid how", rather than "You a stupid hoe", without the typical American English pronunciation. The song ends with Minaj stating "I am the female Weezy", a line borrowed from her past feature "Y.U. Mad" with Lil Wayne and Birdman.
