It’s easy to break down what her viral tracks “Stupid” and “Daisy” have in common, from mind-numbing beats to deceptively simple, repetitive lyrics, but none of that accounts for Ashton Nicole Casey herself, who carried those songs to TikTok fame with her sheer charisma. 1s or Grammys - not yet, anyway - but she has harnessed the power of TikTok for hits in a way many artists are still figuring out.
No, the rising hyperpop rapper doesn’t rack up No. Other pop stars would kill for the success Ashnikko has had. “The ‘double album’ idea started off as just a joke between me and my manager,” Wallen conceded in a statement - but if Dangerous succeeds, he’ll become a giant in his own right.
