The Root: Fly Style Supplements Wack Rhymes : NPR: She raps, she's weird and she's white. Now 21-year-old Kreayshawn is also the latest YouTube oddity-turned-overnight celebrity — and no, that's not a good thing.
Three weeks ago Natassia 'Kreayshawn' Zolot — a petite, foulmouthed woman hailing from Oakland, Calif. — posted the video for her song 'Gucci, Gucci' on YouTube, and the Internet went nuts. The song is her self-aggrandizing rant against 'basic b———' and label whores who define themselves by the luxury brands they wear.
The clip — currently at more than 2 million views — features Kreayshawn in her signature huge earrings and a pair of shiny pink Minnie Mouse ears, hanging out in the streets of Los Angeles with her sidekick-doppelganger Lil Debbie and an entourage of young black men. The video has inspired mentions of this Internet sensation and her 'White Girl Mob' on sites such as Complex, GQ and Jezebel. The video was the chum for yet another Internet-media feeding frenzy fueled by an appetite for all things anomalous, ridiculous and, of course, ironic.
