Myaap Explains Her Credit Card Statement

Credit History is an interview series where we ask our favorite artists to comb through their credit card statements and tell us about what they bought, from the necessary to the frivolous to the outlandish.

Milwaukee raper Myaap didn’t always know music was her calling. While growing up in Wisconsin, she spent her days freestyling with her brother while aspiring to be either a backup dancer or a mortician. “My momma used to help a lot of people, so that inspired me at first,” she says over the phone while driving through her current home city of Atlanta. “But I also used to watch a lotta movies and I heard they be makin’ money, so that also pushed me.” But the ​​formaldehyde would ultimately have to wait. In 2023, two songs she recorded while attending trade school—”HTS” and “Party Crackin’”—both went viral on TikTok, and later that year, another single, “Getting To It,” impacted even harder. 

After putting out a handful of projects and opening for Detroit rapper Veeze on tour, Myaa’s biggest taste of success came from the release of her 2025 single “Fairy,” which set her hometown’s trademark low-end clap drums against a swelling string sample. It exploded to the tune of millions of streams and thousands of dance challenge posts across social media. I could barely step outside last summer without hearing that song blasting from a car stereo or from someone’s phone speakers. Her latest mixtape, Pixie Dust, aims to capitalize on that next-level ubiquity with a full serving of whimsical slappers. From classic Milwaukee-style cuts like “Beep Beep” or “Reaper” to moodier tracks like “Mamacita” or (my personal favorite) “Blicky Blicky,” there’s something for everyone looking to get their fairy on. 

Myaa’s profile has grown exponentially in such a short time, but she’s still moving at her own pace. Her recent purchases reflect her new adopted home of Atlanta, her love for cooking for her girlfriend, and embracing her still-budding stardom without being too consumed by the vortex.             

Fairy wings (three pairs, $430 total)

I got some fairy wings around the house—one large pair of silver wings and a smaller pair that’s pink and blue. I got a lotta fairy clothing around the house.  

Since “Fairy” was your breakout single, talk to me about how the song came together and the impact it had when it dropped. 

I was in the car on the highway with my girlfriend when the producer (Christiangetbizzy) sent me the beat. I listened to it and I was like This beat is fire, but I don’t know where it’s from. It sound like a sample. My girlfriend showed me the TikTok where they say “She was a fairy,” and I had an idea. I don’t really be freestyling, I write my music, but I was already on my way to the studio, and I just made the catchiest hook ever right there in the car [sings the hook to “Fairy”]. She said “You gotta record this.” I had stopped at first because I wasn’t fully feeling it; I had to change a couple lyrics. But then when the song got done, it was so fire. I was ready to preview it right there. I know I got a hit because as soon as I leave the studio, I be wanting to post it on Instagram or TikTok. It felt good seeing people dressed as fairies, dancing, a lotta celebrities messing with it. It felt really good.  

It’s dope to see you having fun and embracing your viral hit because I know sometimes people will have a hit song and then get tired of it and come to resent and feel trapped by it. When did the fairy wings come into play for you? And how many pairs total do you have?

The wings came into play when I made the “Fairy” video. I have three pairs, the third being the pair I wear in the video. I got those from Claire’s for $30. The other two pairs of wings were both $200 apiece, and I had them custom-made by Fly, a stylist who live out here in Atlanta. 

Amiri two-piece set ($1,200)

The set is a matching brown shirt and shorts. I love designer, that’s one thing about me. At first, I think my love for designer was a trend, but now I’m really in love with it. I seen so many people I listen to wearing it, and now I can finally get this type of stuff for myself.    

Dinners: homemade steak ($20) and stuffed alfredo shells ($20) 

That money was what I spent on steak and alfredo to cook. Sometimes, I go out to eat with my girlfriend and the bill be, like, $300 just for the two of us. Most of the money I be spending is on food for me to cook for my girlfriend when we don’t go out. My signature meal is these stuffed shells with alfredo in the middle.

How often do you cook for your girlfriend, and what’s her favorite thing for you to make for her? 

I cook for her just about every day. [To her girlfriend] What’s your favorite thing to eat by me?

Girlfriend: Hot honey lamb chops.

You gotta describe those for me. 

So what I do is I put butter in the skillet, then I melt the honey and put some hot sauce in it. Then, I fry the lamb chops up and pour the honey and hot sauce mix on top.         

Nails ($300)

Oh my god, my nails are so expensive because I like my nails really long. Every time I go to the nail shop, they can be anywhere from $150 to $200, but the most expensive ones I’ve ever paid for was $300. They was blinged out, all gold with rhinestones and stuff on it. Nowadays, I buy press-ons, but they’re still around the same price. Press-ons are way quicker than getting your nails done for real because I be in a rush to get to my videos and stuff like that and I don’t wanna be late. The last time I went to get my nails done was about a month ago. They were super long and white and had red tips on the inside. It was fire. 

When you do get them done, do you have a preferred nail tech?

When I’m in Atlanta, I go to Buckhead Nails & Spa.

Chain & Tinkerbell pendant ($25,000) 

A couple months after “Fairy” went viral, I spent $25K for my whole kit, the pendant and the chain. The chain is rose gold and the pendant looks like Tinkerbell and it’s got black diamonds in it with green and silver. That’s the most outrageous purchase I ever made. 

With Pixie Dust being an extension of “Fairy,” what do you want people to take away from this project? 

I want them to know that I’ve improved on my work skills. I dropped “Fairy” around this time last year. When I first dropped the song, I had a lotta hate comments saying This is buns, this is buns. But then, people started asking me for more songs like “Fairy,” so I put all those together on another tape. The reason I called the tape Pixie Dust is because I’m still that same fairy from before.
