For #LesbianVisibilityDay, let’s find out more about the 120 lesbian rappers from 25 countries listed on Madame Rap!
Since 2015, Madame Rap has undertaken the significant task of cataloging lesbian female rappers worldwide. This effort is complicated by the absence of official statistics. Information remains limited to a few media reports, community-generated lists, and academic research, highlighting the challenges of gathering systematic data on this demographic.
This lack of data stems from a combination of factors, including privacy considerations, prevailing marketing strategies within the music industry, the absence of institutional data collection, and the persistent stigma surrounding LGBTQ+ representation within hip hop.
Despite the challenges, we remain committed to increase the visibility of lesbian female rappers. Visibility matters and representation changes everything. Here is our latest infographic: Out and Loud: Mapping Lesbian Rappers Worldwide.
