Listen now
Description
Long Live The Fupa! lol. We choppin it up with Lupe Katoa about her live video, how life has been after going viral, and what it's been like to have a hefty size of humble pie. Lupe recently went live at the Donna Marie concert and was talking hella s**t. She claimed to have wasted her outfit and called a group of women who were living their best lives ugly, pathetic, grenades. Her video was then leaked and went viral. The internet was relentless and tore her up, called her all kinds of names, made hella memes about her, and called her out threatening her with violence. After a week of being put through the wringer, one of the women who was in the video, Kaveinga, reached out to Lupe to address the issue like adults. They sat down, reconciled, and Lupe issued out an apology. The situation took an unexpected turn for the better that changed the momentum of the whole ordeal.
