- Cardi B is a hero who is vocal about women's right and supporting women's choices.[1] She constantly breaks barriers and shares her opinions using platforms such as instagram, and Snapchat. Cardi preaches her brand of feminism founded on taking advantage of opportunities, or in street vocabulary, hustling. [2]She is vocal of her love for feminism despite her vernacular and how society paints her out to be. If I’m going to apologize for something is for not knowing what are the right terms to call people .You guys want me to be something that I’m not I’m not going to let you make me feel like I’m something that I’m not .Ya so quick to bash but not educate . She makes her role in feminism clear “Being a feminist is such a great thing and some people feel like someone like me can’t be as great as that,"[3]
Nicki Minaj entered the scene in hip hop 2009, Nicki Minaj has used her platform to highlight colorist and racism in the slut shaming of women in the industry. When Minaj received negative feedback after releasing the cover art for “Anaconda,” she took to her Instagram to highlight the inconsistent and—let’s be honest—racist reactions to her displaying her own body. She wrote “Angelic. Acceptable. Lol” alongside photos of white Sports Illustrated models, topless and arching their backs, with their barely-covered bottoms on the cover of the magazine.[4] When Lady Gaga uses her body as a form of expression, she's an “artist.” When Nicki Minaj owns her own sexuality, she's slut-shamed. [5]
Princess Nokia is a Puerto Rican HipHop artist from New York and a “Nuyorican urban feminist”[6] She acknowledges her hip hop work as feminism and continues to speak and perform femininity as a force to be reckoned with. She uses her work to voice her views on feminist politics as well as issues affecting marginalized communities. "I talk about small breasts, suffering from child abuse.... my lyrical content, my subject matter is not about aggression, or violence, or materialism, but about spirituality, cultural diaspora. Subject matters of black and brown women. Although I do speak on really flashy boastful things, because I am a flashy son of a b****. I've created Feminism again in Hip-Hop, it's exciting, it's wonderful."[7]
Robyn Rihanna Fenty, better known by her stage name Rihanna is a Barbadian singer, songwriter, and actress. Rihanna practices a very different and almost anachronistic type of feminism.[8] Hey gothic and rebellious aesthetics make her a notable artist in the industry. Rihanna is known for her subliminal and symbolic work and lyricism. She uses music videos and her songs to voice issues affecting marginalized groups. Rihanna being unapologetic has contributed to the sexual liberation of women. She owns her sexuality and uses it as a tool to promote women to do the same. In a May 2013 interview with MTV, The Vagina Monologues writer and feminist Eve Ensler praised the singer, saying, "I'm a huge Rihanna fan, I think she has a kind of agency over her sexuality and she's open about her sexuality, she has enormous grace and she's immensely talented."
