Cupcakke Persuasive Speech

Is what Cupcakke’s DJ, or whoever was playing her music during her performance, said before teasing us with 30 more minutes of random mash ups of overplayed club music. Even before this, the audience and I were tormented with disastrous performers that could have easily killed the few brain cells that I have left. This made me thirsty for the actual performance that I had initially came for. As expected, the chicago based artist made the wait worthwhile.

I knew the wait was over when the DJ asked us to make noise for Cupcakke. After almost losing my voice screaming for the main act, the prurient queen finally appeared.
Once on stage, the iconic sex symbol first thanked her fans for waiting for her, which I greatly appreciated because she must have heard the nonsense we were put through. Cupcakke wore a red wig with dark roots, a red lip, paired with a striped dress and white gladiator boots. The look alone was very simple but very her, and eye catching. Her stage presence was phenomenal, truly captivating me and the crowd without even beginning her performance.
