"Stupid" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper Ashnikko from her second EP, Hi It's Me, released under Digital Picnic/Parlophone Records on July 12, 2019. The song features American rapper Yung Baby Tate and was produced by Oscar Scheller. "Stupid" became popular on the video-sharing app TikTok, where celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Cody Simpson have danced to the song.[1]

Reception

Since September 2019, the song has been used in over 400,000 videos on TikTok, and has gained over 10 million streams on Spotify alone.[2] Miley Cyrus gained over 2.3 million likes when she lip-synced the song on a TikTok video with Cody Simpson.[3] The song topped the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart,[4] the Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop chart,[5] and the Spotify Viral 50 chart.[6][7]

Cat Zhang from Pitchfork described the song as a "venemous [sic] rap song animated by its snide dismissal of men, ghoulish theatrics, and Pornhub shoutouts."[3] Robin Murray from Clash said "[the song is] a sign of her personal and creative autonomy, with Ashnikko placing herself front and centre in a striking but de-sexualised way."[8]

Ashnikko responded to the song's performance online when she took to Instagram to write, "Since 'Stupid' is having a weird little moment on tik tok I think that it's only fair that I force u all to help me actualise my lifelong dream of going viral".[9] When asked in an interview with Billboard about how the song got the reaction that it did, Ashnikko said "It's quite a divisive song, isn't it? The lyrics are straight-to-the-point and blunt and honest."[10]
