Not Us Lady, We’re On The Right Side! Cupcakke Opens Up About Colorism& Being Blackballed By The Music Media Industry.
She livestreamed via X, a Q&A with followers. One asked: “Do you think your career is being blackballed by labels and colorism?”
The talented artist replied:
“I’ve sat down with almost every label there is, offering me 500k is just not wise for me take. When I can make that in one tour. So yes maybe I am facing the repercussions. Not one blog posted the album besides pop-crave , not one playlist for the album, no media , absolutely nothing but the album still pulled in 10Million in a month, so I’m blessed regular-less.”
“Do darkness also play a role? Of course. Dauntless is the best female rap album put out this year. And n****as know that , that’s why they didn’t even put a rate on it. But luckily I do it for the sport.”
‘Dauntless Manifesto’ record unleashed in June. Her first album in over six years.
