Everything You Wanted to Know About Rapper and Singer-Songwriter Pap Chanel
Rapper and singer-songwriter Pap Chanel is a force to be reckoned with.
The artist released her debut album, Pretty & Paid, in 2020 before following it up with Pretty & Paid 2.0 last year, which featured her six "PAPonalities," or alter egos, each with their own unique looks and approaches to her music. Last week, she released a new single, "Bipolar," complete with a fairytale music video showcasing "Papillon," her soft side. We've been listening to it on repeat—and here's everything we learned about her as our latest Woman Crush Wednesday.
