Rapper Chika Shows Off Her New Boyfriend

Female rapper Chika burst onto the scene in 2019 – the industry was pushing her HARD as the new gay female rapper.

Chika, who is from Alabama and has a strong following for her hard hitting lyrics, came out as LGBTQ+ and quickly gained a push from people hoping to increase gay voices in hip hop.

She once told the media, “As a queer black woman raised from immigrants, my entire existence is political, … For me to have a platform and be like, ‘Oh, I don’t do politics because that makes people uncomfortable’ is tone deaf to people who have to be political.”

Chika was featured by The Gay Times, OUT Magazine, and other prominent LGBTQ+ platforms. She’s also been honored at Pride parades across the country.

Well it turns out, she’s not gay anymore. Chika posted pics of her new boyfriend, whom she says that she’s in love with.

On April 10, 2021, Chika posted a widely publicized note to her Twitter account explaining her decision to retire from music while reflecting on the “mental toll” that life as a musician in the spotlight had taken on her health. In an Instagram Live session in which she interacted with fans following her initial retirement announcement, she criticized “trolls” or “stans” who “dogpile on top of people’s other mental problems and make them worse.”

She specifically cited the effects of online abuse on her ongoing battle with depression on her decision, although she left a small possibility for a comeback in her final statement.
