The Latest Viral Video Smash: Kreayshawn

She’s a white, bisexual rapper who’s uses the ‘n-word’, is endorsed by Odd Future, got two million hits in two weeks, and got signed from just one song.

In the three weeks since Kreayshawn uploaded her debut single ‘Gucci Gucci’ to YouTube, she’s managed to get almost two and a half million hits and she just got signed to Columbia Records.

Left Brain and Jasper Dolphin of uber-cool controversial LA rap crew of Odd Future have given her the thumbs up and so has hipster mag Fader.

But the knives are already coming out for this 21-year-old rapper from Oakland, California whose real name is Natassia Zolot.

She’s been under fire from media outlets for using the ‘n-word’ in tweets, telling voice-online.co.uk “In Oakland, Asian people will call Mexicans that. A Mexican will call a black dude that. A white person will call an Asian that. Everyone calls each other that.

“I feel like that word is used in the low-income community more than anything. I can see if I was some rich crazy trick and I was just saying this because it’s hip-hop. I was raised around this. Me and my sisters were all raised around this. People call me that. But personally I’m not flaunting it around.’’

And she’s been accused of starting a spat with Nicki Minaj, telling Complex Magazine, “Honestly man, this is no disrespect to her because she’s got talent. She’s got an image. But when it comes to inspiring young women, her message is to be a Barbie – to be plastic, to be fake, to all have blond hair.”

Of course she had to clarify those statements too, telling Billboard "I'm not hating on anybody. I'm not coming for anybody's neck. I say one thing about Nicki Minaj that's not a diss at all and you have Nicki Minaj fans barking at me. I love Nicki's thing, she's independent and a powerful woman."

And she’s also been open about sleeping with women as well as men, a rarity in the rap world.

So, it’s been a heady couple of weeks for Kreayshawn and her supposed crew White Girl Mob. Let’s go to the video (note: lyrics might be a little unsafe for work).
