[edit]Early life
Princess Vitarah 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 for a while before relocating to Los Angeles in the summer of 2015 to pursue a musical career.[2]
Music career
2015–2016: Early output
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 Spongebob, went viral[3] on video sharing websites such as WorldStarHipHop[4][5] and YouTube, receiving 3 million views on Facebook[6] in the first day alone. Her feminist and sexual lyrical content has gained her music much notoriety across West Africa[7] and other parts of the world,[8] but especially on the internet where she has since developed a strong fanbase whom call themselves "Vitarahians".[9]
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.[10][11] Princess Vitarah has been praised for opening doors for African women concerning expression of sexuality and a writer for Pulse.ng 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".[12]
2017-present: Too Much Talent
On June 12, 2017, Princess Vitarah released her debut album Too Much Talent.[13] The album was preceded by the single I Want 20 Inch Dick, which was described by Media Take Out as "a hit record charting on Billboard".[14] Pulse.ng described the album as an 8-track body of work from Princess Vitarah because "her Nigerian fans and the rest of them in the world is ready and desirous of an album from her".[15] On June 12, 2017, Princess Vitarah uploaded an image of the album cover art on Instagram.[16] Days later, the track listing for the album was revealed by Genius,[17] and iTunes.[18]
In early November 2017, Princess Vitarah revealed that she had begun work on her second studio album, just months after releasing Too Much Talent.[19] She dropped several singles in the third quarter of the year including Don't Be Racist, Snatching Wigs, and Pussytime Sadness.[20] On October 3, 2017, Vitarah released another single titled I Wanna Fuck Donald Trump. The music video went viral garnering 75,000 views on Worldstar in its first day.[21] Nylon Magazine described the track as "making waves on social media" and a fun "takedown of Trump".[22] Lacy Babcock, editor for BeatReaper.com wrote that "her content is NSFW but very “self-discovery” oriented. She is compared to the likes of Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim with raw edge. She seems genuine in her pursuit to inspire, engage, and motivate others to chase their dreams."

Where is the source to support this statement: "Her music would often go viral during this period of time, receiving more than 30 million combined views, on video sharing sites such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram"? Where is the source to support this: "Between 2016 and 2022 Princess Vitarah spent 7 years as an independent artist growing her fanbase with 2 self-released mixtapes"?
