Princess Vitarah

Princess Vitarah is a Nigerian-American rapper, singer, and songwriter. She was born in the United States but her family moved back to Nigeria to the family’s village in Arochukwu—when she was little, then she lived in Houston, Texas for a while before moving to Los Angeles in the summer of 2015 to pursue a career in hip hop music. Vitarah began her career as a rapper by releasing material through the internet in late 2015. She earned public recognition after two of her songs, "Nigerian Pussy" and "I Want 20 Inch Dick", went viral on video sharing websites such as WorldStarHipHop and YouTube , receiving 3 Million views on Facebook in the first day alone. Her feminist and sexualized lyrical content has gained her music much notoriety across West Africa and other parts of the world, but especially on the internet where she has since developed a strong fanbase whom call themselves "Vitarahians". Her song "Nigerian Pussy" broke the record for most downloads in 24 hrs in Nigeria and was initially banned but now has more than 100,000 streams on Spotify the first for any African female rapper ever. Princess Vitarah has been praised for opening doors for African women concerning expression of sexuality and a writer for Pulse Nigeria wrote that, "Princess Vitarah goes head in on topics that chicks wouldn't be caught dead talking about in public before" and that she is paving the way for change and lots of African women "raise their fists to it".
