Episode 91: Runaway Rap Girls Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

In this episode:

Bay area legend Kamaiyah made history as the first female rapper to headline the Fox Theater in Oakland. Staying local might be the key to longevity for female rappers.
Nicki Minaj claims to be neurodivergent, while Doja Cat admits to a borderline personality disorder diagnosis and Lil Nas X addresses fans after court for a battery charge related to his own alleged mental health crisis.
Female rap’s decline is sending the girls overseas. Despite becoming the first female rapper this year to surpass 700 million streams on spotify this year, Doja’s biggest booking yet is in Rwanda for Global Citizen’s Move Afrika Festival. Similarly, industry veteran Lil’ Kim is headlining two shows in Australia, Vivid Sydney and Melbourne's Rising. This is her first time in Australia in 15 years.
Has public opinion finally turned against GloRilla? Some are accusing her of being a Pick Me.
For Ass Last, available exclusively on Patreon, we are following up on a theory about Doja Cat and congratulating the latest expecting mom in female rap.
