Who Is Cupcakke?
This rapper is on the rise as one of the best talents of modern rap. Cupcakke, through her music, is evoking a rawness in expression to one of humanity’s most basic instinct, sex. Born Elizabeth Eden Harris in Chicago, Illinois on the 31st of May, 1997, she was raised by a single mother, with whom she has developed a close and intimate relationship, telling a journalist that she is her only friend.
The beginning of Cupcakke’s life wasn’t easy. Between the ages of seven and eleven, she lived in homeless shelters in Chicago. Despite her financial disability, Cupcakke attended high school, growing up and attending the same school as Chicago-raised rappers, and Lil Reese.
Her entry into the music world started at the age of 10 when she started writing verses and singing at her local church. While she was at the church, Cupcakke began learning the art of performing for an audience, performing in front of pastors and church members, reciting poetry about her faith in Christ.
If you wonder how a girl who was ingrained in the Christian faith turned into a 21st-century sex activist, it was at the behest of a friend who admired her poetry and encouraged her to turn them into rap. Her discovery of the rap genre is what could be discovered as opening Pandora’s box. She fell in love with acts like 50 Cent, Da Brat, , all influencing her flow and rap style. When she fell in love with rap, she was 13 years old.

Between 2012 and 2014, Cupcakke dedicated herself to releasing covers of other songs and original music, amassing over 300,000 subscribers.
She released her first mixtape, Cum Cake in 2016. Before that, she released the video to one of her original songs, Vagina, in 2015.
