Is cupcakke gay

A teenager from San Antonio, Texas turned to his favourite rapper after his mother kicked him out of home for being gay.

17-year-old Christian wrote to Chicago-based rapper CupcakKe on Twitter, saying that her music was getting him through the ordeal.

“I’m homeless my mom just booted me from the house," he wrote, telling her that her music was helping him pull through.

“I even made a song called “LGBT,” strictly for the gay community to know that they are loved and don’t need to feel judged,” CupcaKe told Teen Vogue. We write love songs because love is a part of our lives.” 

Across her catalog, CupcakKe never shies from queer themes. Don’t be surprised if she turns Washington Square into one big, sweaty, queer lovefest.

Get Ready, Utah

Whether you’re a die-hard fan who can rap every lyric of “Duck Duck Goose” or just Pride-curious and looking for a good time, CupcakKe’s set is guaranteed to be a highlight of this year’s Festival.

I remember when one of my fans tweeted me that he had no where to stay because he just came out to his parents about being gay. She replied, “Need a hotel?” and quickly arranged shelter for him.

CupcakKe has become a queer icon.

CupcakKe never publicly called herself “queer,” but fans crowned her a queer icon anyway.

In the “Crayons” music video, she battles homophobia head-on — with drag queens, rainbow flags, and a full-on dance showdown where she literally takes down a bigot.

Before she rolled with the LGBTQIA+ crowd, CupcakKe was just a South Side Chicago girl with a mic and a message. It was a happy moment, but a sad moment at the same time: happy because he had finally gained enough courage to come out and live his truth, without having to worry about what people would think about him.

After a 17-year-old tweeted that his family kicked him out for being gay, CupcakKe jumped into action. But it’s also sad that a parent would throw their child out — someone they brought into the world — over loving the same sex. And when she hits the Utah Pride stage, it’s not just a performance — it’s a statement.

“Radical Love,” CupcakKe Style

It’s hard to think of a better match for this year’s Utah Pride theme, “Radical Love,” than CupcakKe.

Only time will tell I guess.”

Chicago’s own CupcakKe isn’t your average rapper — and that’s exactly why fans ride so hard for her. But there’s one question folks keep asking — is CupcakKe part of the LGBTQIA+ community?

CupcakKe is a proud LGBTQIA+ ally.

Don’t hide your truth. “Before I even had a career, I had LGBTQIA+ friends whom I’d hang out with. Whether she’s rapping about female pleasure, dismantling purity culture, or celebrating LGBTQ+ lives, love is at the center of her work. To see a smile on my child’s face would be the only thing that would matter and keep my blood pumping.

I recently wrote a song called “LGBT” for the LGBT community, stating nothing more or nothing less but it’s okay to be you.

She openly supports the LGBTQIA+ community and says she created her anthem “LGBT” as a love letter to queer fans. She quickly gained a cult following online, especially among queer fans who saw themselves in her fearless, zero-shame energy.

And for a community that’s been fighting hard for joy, visibility, and space, there’s something downright revolutionary about dancing under the Salt Lake sun to a woman who raps about loving yourself loudly, lustfully, and without apology.
