Career
Thot Squad began creating music with Ari in 2022 with the goal of becoming a one-hit wonder, inspired by Zack Fox's 2019 song "Jesus Is the One (I Got Depression)".[1] Their debut single, "Super Soaker", was released in January 2022.[2] In May 2022, they opened for rapper Cupcakke, who is one of their major influences.[1] Sixteen singles were released across 2022 and 2023. Their song "Pound Cake", released in November 2023,[3] earned viral attention online.[4][5] The Escapist later dubbed it a "banger".[6]
In March 2024, they became the first non-binary artist to perform at the Black Queer Advancement Festival.[4] In July 2024, they released the single "Hoes Depressed",[7] later described by Kotaku as "a catchy-as-hell cheerleader-style hip-hop bop".[8] In September 2024, they were a main act at Pop Montreal and named by Paper magazine as a "must-see".[9] They released a total of three singles and one remix single in 2024.[10]
In December 2024, Thot Squad was cast in the episodic video game Dispatch after their music caught the attention of AdHoc Studio;[11][12] both "Pound Cake" and "Hoes Depressed" appear in the game.[12] They said in an interview that they felt "very fortunate that they (AdHoc) like the things I say and they like the things I sing."[12] Released throughout October and November 2025, David Jagneaux from Comic Book Resources singled out their character and performance as his favorite, noting that it also brought more attention to their music.[13] For Dispatch, they were nominated for Supporting Performance in a Comedy at the 2026 NAVGTR Awards.[14]
From March to April 2025, Thot Squad embarked on the Thots n' Prayer tour with Rob Apollo.[15] They released a live EP, Thot Squad x AMP, with the Art of Music Project in April 2025.[16] This was followed by a string of performances across the United States from May to October 2025.[15]
In April 2026, Nylon magazine titled Thot Squad as one of "The New Faces of Party Rap".[17] They appeared as a guest artist on Qveen Herby's 2026 song "The Fool".[18] They began touring with Qveen Herby as a supporting act for her Isle of Qveen Tour in May 2026, which will run until August 2026.[19] They wrote on social media that, during a break in the tour, they will begin work on their debut studio album Ungovernable, planning its release for sometime in 2026.[20]
