Boyfriend at Hunnypot Live Show #296 (The Mint, LA - 07/28/2014)

Written by 

Hunnypot has been bringing music and culture together for 25 years, and over the years, we've thrown some unforgettable parties. Hunnypot Live has produced over 500 shows, bringing incredible artists to the stage for a quarter century. As part of our Best of Hunnypot Live series for our 25-year anniversary, we’re highlighting some of our favorite artists who have graced the stage.

This live footage comes from Show #296 on July, 28 2014, featuring the genre-bending rapper Boyfriend, known for her bold lyrics and high-energy performances.

Boyfriend, the "mysterious, raunchy, feminist rapper" as described by NPR, has taken her special brand of "campy rap antagonism" (LA Times), "high-concept booty bass" (Rolling Stone), and "candy-coated cultural criticism" (Nasty Gal) to stages across the globe.

Boyfriend is a songwriter (Charli XCX, Slayyyter), producer (Rebecca Black, Jon Batiste) and performer (“5 Best Things That Happened at Outside Lands” – Rolling Stone and featured in Sony Pictures’ Grammy-Award winning Jazz Fest documentary).

The Nashville-born and New Orleans-based artist is featured opposite Lil Wayne and longtime collaborator Big Freedia, on the song “El Niño (feat. Lil Wayne & Boyfriend)”, off of Freedia’s 2023 album Central City. The single follows Boyfriend’s debut project, Sugar & Spice, which features the likes of the global feminist-art collective Pussy Riot, award-winning T-Pop artist Pyra, and LGBTQ-icon Amanda Lepore. The album peaked in the top 70 on the NACC College Radio Charts and landed placements with Netflix, HBO, and Apple, to name a few.
