How and why did the trend of rappers naming songs after female begin?
I recall a British boy band having a song called Rihanna about a decade ago but there's been an uptick lately.

That "Dua Lipa" song by Jack Harlow is lowkey skeevy as hell.

Drake had a song called "Madonna" in 2015 (and "Girls Love Beyonce" in 2013 if you include that one). Bryce Vine released "Drew Barrymore" in 2019, right? (Of course SZA named a song "Drew Barrymore" in 2017.)
In general, though, there is a long history of this kind of thing with various styles of artists naming songs after famous people. Lil Wayne had a song in the 2000s called "Kobe Bryant." Duck Sauce had a hit with "Barbra Streisand." Jay-Z had a song called "Tom Ford." Back in the 1980s U2 had a song with "Elvis Presley" in the title. Phish had a song in the 1980s called "David Bowie." Sheryl Crow had a 2002 song called "Steve McQueen." Fifth Harmony has the song "Like Mariah."

I don't know why but it needs to stop. They're all garbage songs.
