Ashnikko can package chaos, confidence, and pure rebellion. With her breakout single "STUPID," featuring Yung Baby Tate. She's lighting up the internet and building viral fame into something that will endure.
A genre-bending, speaker-blasting anthem of unadulterated defiance, "STUPID" is a middle finger draped in electric blue hair and razor-sharp wordplay. With fellow internet disruptor Yung Baby Tate joining in, "STUPID" is an all-out explosion of bratty rap, punk-ish energy, and unfiltered self-confidence. She doesn't merely toy with her words; she weaponizes them. Over a menacing beat that thrums like a ticking time bomb, she sneers and spits about a romantic interest who's too dumb to merit her time.
But Ashnikko is not an overnight sensation. Her 2019 EP, Hi, It's Me, showed she has more to offer than TikTok tricks. She's a fully formed artist, a visual mastermind, and a marketing genius, whether persuading her grandparents to shoot reaction videos or singlehandedly turning Latvia into her fanbase.
"STUPID" is a statement. Raucous, ostentatious, and utterly unrepentant, it confirms Ashnikko as one of contemporary music's most captivating and ungovernable presences. If this is how she sounds on the come-up, the world better prepare for what's to come."
