She spits with the White Girl Mob and smokes trees with Snoop, but there's a whole lot more underneath the 'Gucci Gucci' singer's hood…
Everything from her ridiculously spelled moniker (a play on the word “creation”) to the insipidly catchy “Gucci Gucci” suggests Kreayshawn (born Natassia Zolot) is a one-hit wonder. But before we eject her from the pop culture lexicon entirely, check out six factoids about the 22-year-old, Oakland-bred lyricist:
She’s a high school dropout…
…Who managed to score a full ride to Berkeley Digital Film Institute. “Me being me, and always having to change up every five seconds, I just got impatient. I had to spread my wings up out of there,” she told Complex of her decision to bail after two semesters.
Her entire backstage rider consists of one thing: milk
“I have this thing with milk. I always have to drink milk,” she has said. “I do shows at the club, they have to have milk on ice for me. And the club managers or whatever are always asking, ‘Did she drink the milk?’ Hell yeah, I drank it.”
She used to work at Ikea:
“I sold sofas,” she said on Chicago radio program, The Breakfast Club. “[I was] just slingin’ them sofas.”
Her sexuality is, well, up for grabs:
“I don’t label myself as anything,” she has said. “If someone likes me, I like them, no matter age or race…”
She has some choice words for canines:
After getting bit in the face twice, she’s adopted a new mantra: “Fuck dogs,” she told GQ.
She’s ironic:
In “Gucci Gucci,” she says designer duds are for “basic bitches,” but a recent Marie Claire profile has the Kreay decked out in Thakoon, Cavalli, Dolce and oh yeah—Gucci.
