Houston, we have a problem, and this is a true sign “THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END.”
Bhad Bhabie just added a new accolade to her résumé—an official city citation from Providence, Rhode Island. The viral sensation-turned-alleged rapper, Danielle Bregoli, was formally recognized by Councilman John Goncalves for her “contributions to Hip-Hop artistry and cultural influence.” What is going on in the world? Looking at him crazy and her, too.
How did a now-21-year-old who became famous in 2016 after saying “Cash me outside, how ’bout dat?” on Dr. Phil became worthy of a rap honor? Well, rather than fade into the internet obscurity, Bhad Bhabie flipped the moment into becoming a rapper. Right. She could have done anything, but she accepted a deal from Atlantic Records to rap.
Let us look into this just a bit before we go off. Her breakout single, “These Heaux,” made her the youngest female rapper ever to chart on Billboard’s Hot 100. How? OK. She followed that with Gen Zero hits like “Hi Bich” and “Gucci Flip Flops” featuring Lil Yachty. OK, we’re getting warmer. This supposedly established her as an “artist.” To me, she was still a meme, but I live in outer space.
Councilman Goncalves is feeling her. His citation praised her for redefining how young people engage with culture and music. OK. “Bhad Bhabie has leveraged her platform in a way that’s undeniably impactful, from music and business to raising awareness about social issues,” he noted during the presentation.
Beyond music, Bhad Bhabie has carved out a lucrative digital empire. OK, we are now cooking. She famously claimed to have earned over $50 million on OnlyFans, capitalizing social media following. She’s also got a Snapchat show. She’s reportedly helping teens, who are abused by sharing her story.
In March, she welcomed her first child—well, OK.
For a girl once dismissed as a viral joke, Bhad Bhabie should be heralded. But she should not be regarded as anything honorable in Hip-Hop. Just say she’s entertainment and music, because we do not know this person outside of drama, and troll behavior. Once upon a time, her label used to check me because she was under 18. Welp! She’s grown now!
I will say one thing, she had DMX in a video and that was clutch. RIP, X!
Cash ya outside!
