Boyfriend is a sex positive American rapper and performance artist. Described as a "mile-a-minute rhyme-spitter; a bawdy, brassy performance artist and a feminist provocateur," her rhymes address subjects including sex, feminism, gender and empowerment with 'bracingly blue, carefully crafted, comic turns of phrase." She has said that she uses rap as social commentary, and as a way to start conversations about art and identity. A former teacher from a conservative Christian family, she identifies only as Boyfriend and has not publicly disclosed her legal name.
