CupcakKe’s latest single is making a strong early impact on the US iTunes store.
As of press time at 3PM ET Friday, her “Mosh Pit” is #1 on the store’s all-genre song sales chart. “Mosh Pit” seized the throne from Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which is now #2 on the list. Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open” (#3), Masked Wolf’s “Astronaut In The Ocean” (#4), and Gabby Barrett’s “The Good Ones” (#5) complete the Top 5.
Recently, the rapper spoke about how she doesn’t want to be perceived as sexual as she did in her past on Instagram live. On video she talked about how she felt like she had to say outlandish things just to get people to listen to her music, even though it was the opposite of her personality. Later, she hinted at the discrepancy in Black women’s actions versus white women’s actions because of misogynoir when she said “why the white person don’t gotta do that? You know what I’m saying? Like, why the white person don’t gotta get online and put a dick in her ass, you know, suck a dick just for muthafuckas to start listening to their music?”
The music video for “Mosh Pit” is out now on Youtube, which can be seen above. You can also stream or purchase the single on all online music platforms.
