20-year-old Chicago artist Cupcakke had a talk with Rolling Stone about her career and what inspired her to turn from a church poet into a rapper who makes sexual songs. “One day, I was listening to ‘My Neck, My Back’ by Khia and… I was like ‘Oh yeah, I’m gonna write something that’s sexual to get it out.” That transition has turned her into a successful recording artist and an inspiration to other people. She has used her influence to try and help other people. After spending a part of her youth in a homeless shelter, she wants to help those in need. “That could be the last 99 cents in their pocket to pay for your single.
