Bella Poarch explains how being bullied inspired \u2018Build a Bitch\u2019 song with Valkyrae YouTube: 100 ThievesTikTok star Bella Poarch is dropping her very first music video tonight, and its lyrics clearly have a strong meaning \u2014 one she claims was inspired by her own childhood bullies. Bella Poarch, much like Charli D\u2019Amelio before her, has seen an extremely quick rise in online stardom. Going viral in 2020 for getting the most likes on a TikTok ever, she has since garnered over 66 million followers in the past nine months \u2014 all thanks to her \u2018M to the B\u2019 lip syncing clip. The simple video blew up almost immediately, and so did Poarch\u2019s career, which has now taken her on an unexpected route in the music industry. On April 30, Poarch dropped a teaser for her very first song, \u2018Build a Bitch,\u2019 which included a few pointed lyrics: \u201cThis ain\u2019t Build a Bitch \/ You don\u2019t get to pick and choose \/ Different a** and bigger boobs \/ If my eyes are brown or blue.\u201d May 14th.

In a May 13 episode of 100 Thieves\u2019 CouRage and Nadeshot podcast, Poarch made an appearance alongside Valkyrae to discuss the inspiration for her first song, which she claimed stemmed from her experiences being bullied as a child. \u201cGrowing up, I used to get bullied and stuff,\u201d Poarch admitted. \u201cHow I looked like. So I\u2019ve always wanted to be a singer, an artist. It\u2019s always been my dream since I was little. I wanted my first song to have a good meaning to it and to help a lot of people just to be like, more confident about themselves.\u201d \u201cI want the song to be meaningful,\u201d she added. \u201cI thought about something that can help people.\u201d (Topic begins at 9:45) The conversation then steered toward social media and how much pressure young people can face for their appearance and status online, with Valkyrae, CouRage and Nadeshot congratulating Poarch and the positive message of her first song. Fans can catch the Build a Bitch music video on Bella Poarch\u2019s YouTube channel on May 14, 12 AM EST \/ May 13, 9 PM PST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
