Most of this Cupcakke character's songs seem to be about sex. That on it's own would actually be fine; "Like A Virgin" by Madonna was my favorite song when I was DD's age, I'm no prude! But this is just over the top. I can't even the names of most of these songs, that's how bad they are. Some of the less inappropriate titles are "Squidward Nose" and "Dementia". As for the lyrics...I'm not squeamish but this stuff is just insane. Look it up if you're curious, I don't feel comfortable describing specifics. It makes me uncomfortable that she's listening to this content and maybe getting some questionable messages from it. How should I discuss it with her and possibly get her to find some new tunes to listen to?

CupcakKe does not support misogyny, and her songs make this very clear. She makes music that is feminist and empowers women, and you'd know it if you listened to her instead of guessing based on some pretty messed up assumptions about rap music.

My nearly 16 yo son has zero music on his phone or even access to money to download stuff. He uses cash only if he wants to hang out with friends. No access to a credit card, debit card or Apple Pay. He’s quite responsible as a result.
What on earth is this response?
I don’t know the artist, but it seems like she is on the “shock” side. Like Wet A.. P…. Not that big of a deal as long as your kid is even the slightest bit mature.
