When it comes to rapping, it is usually male rappers who are in the spotlight and take it all. However, some of the female rappers of the industry have come out to show that this game is a two-way street that cannot and will not be owned by a single-gender. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have surely stood out and gained popularity in the female rapper scene. With hits like Ananconda, WAP, Bodak Yellow and so many more, it is given that their popularity is huge. Below mentioned female rappers have worked hard to be heard and here I present to you the female rappers that are ardently loved today by Gen- Z.
1. Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Jovon Ruth Pete from Texas initially gained popularity and attention through her freestyling videos on social media, mainly Instagram. Anthem “Hot Girl Summer” also featured Nicki Minaj when still very young and in college. She is rightly the future of female MCees. This might shock a few of you who do not know much about Megan that she has been really serious about her rapping career and has been writing raps since the age of 16 (which were also surprisingly very explicit according to her mother). The beautiful hottie’s moniker, Stallion, comes from her height and looks when still a teen. She is a woman of many talents and she is most definitely an Earth activist. If you need another reason to love her, she also loves watching anime!
2. Doja Cat
With such a catchy rap name one could only hardly expect her real name to be Amala Ratna Dlamini. The young American singer and rapper have become an icon with so much commercial success. You can also get yourself a unique one using a cool rap name generator. A part of it also goes to the viral meme “Mooo!” which is the name of her single. Her real popularity showed when her second studio album “Hot Pink” was into 10 on the Billboard 200. The album was exactly like the name suggests. Hot and Pink! Her song “Say so” from the album went viral, especially on TikTok. She even included the fan-made choreography in her official music video of the song.
She has also been nominated for 3 Grammy Awards. The Say So hitmaker has won 2 AMAs( American Music Awards. For someone who does not believe in her power, tell them that she is on Time’s annual list of 100 most influential people in the world for the year 2021.
3. Chika
The very young and iconic American rapper and musician Chika is just 23! The “No squares” hitmaker never thought she would gain thousands of fans overnight when she uploaded a diss track aimed at Kanye West in 2018! Jane Chika Oranika always knew that she wanted to be an artist and had been writing songs since the age of 9. Her first song at that age was called “On my own” which reflects how much she wanted to pursue music and that if she had to do it all on her own, she would. And she did.
4. Rapsody
Rapsody’s real name is Marlanna Evans. Such a cool stage name! She just exudes coolness and hey, if you too are inspired get a cool rap name generator, find a unique name and start making music! You can do it! The American rapper is from North Carolina. Although some people might not have heard her music, they sure have heard her name. The female artist has received 2 Grammy nominations.
