Viral Hip Hop Artist Nepo Scores iTunes #1 Dance Hit “WHOS YA DADDY”

WHO’S YOUR NEPO?

In a music industry currently suffocating under the weight of famous offspring claiming they “worked hard” for their break, one rapper is leaning into the label so hard it’s turned into a chart-topping hit.

The mysterious rapper known only as Nepo somehow bagged a #1 dance single on iTunes in the USA on July 23rd with his track WHOS YA DADDY.

MTV Latin America had crowned the song their “Pick of the Week” just six days previously. Not content with just quietly collecting royalties, Nepo dropped a music video for the track that instantly sent eyebrows flying. His idea of a tasteful promo as debuted on Fox Soul’s show Side Dish? A full, highly controversial parody of the JFK assassination. Because nothing says “banger of the summer” quite like re-enacting Dallas 1963 in a convertible.

Despite the sudden chart surge and taste-defying visuals, nobody has the foggiest idea who Nepo actually is. A quick scroll through his website offers zero clues about his identity—just a bizarre “Nepo Baby Power Rankings” list where he meticulously rates Hollywood royalty like Paul Giamatti, Lily-Rose Depp, and Chet Hanks.

Is he a disgruntled industry insider having a laugh, an actual famous kid hiding behind a mask, or just a master troll with a decent budget?

Have you got any idea which industry legend’s child is secretly dropping dance tracks? Drop us a line if you know who’s under the hood.
