In late February 2018, Ric Flair posted a photo to his personal Twitter account of himself and Offset in sequin robes reminiscent of those famously worn by Flair during his WWE career, suggesting that a music video was in the works. Song namesake Ric Flair stars in the music video. It has since been certified 3× platinum by the RIAA, and is both the best-selling, and highest-charting song from any solo Migos member as a lead artist. The song ultimately spent 31 total weeks on the Hot 100, and was ranked number 38th on Billboard 's annual year end chart for 2018.

Almost half a year after its initial release, the song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, following months of gradual ascension from its number 71 debut.

The song is the third track on 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin's collaborative studio album Without Warning, which was released in October 2017.

It is also the second most streamed song of all time on Spotify's influential RapCaviar playlist. The song has amassed over 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it the 240th most played song ever on the streaming service. It is prominently featured in the WWE 2K19 soundtrack, particularly in the "Ric Flair Collector's Edition" version of the game. After its release as the lead single, and a subsequent music video starring Ric Flair himself, it rose to number 13, becoming both Metro Boomin and Offset's highest-charting song as lead artists at the time, until the release of Savage and Metro's " Runnin", which would peak at number 9. Upon the album's release, it charted at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was included on their collaborative studio album with 21 Savage, Without Warning (2017).
