Who is Cortisa Star? All about the trans “Bad asf” rapper going viral [Video]

Cortisa Star is a trans rapper, who has gone viral for TikTok smash hit “Fun.”

In a world where mainstream queer rappers are limited to Lil Nas X, Frank Ocean and Azealia Banks, any addition is more than welcomed, which is perhaps why Cortisa, who uses she/her pronouns, is gaining attention.

Known for her explicit lyrics and devil-may-care attitude on social media, Cortisa has close to 42,000 Instagram followers, more than quarter of a million on TikTok and almost 33,000 on X/Twitter.

And according to her recent Spotify Wrapped results, the rapper’s 2024 run was a “chewww” – meaning very good indeed – with 397,000 listeners and more 7.4 million streams.
