Vitarah began her career as a rapper by releasing material through the internet in late 2015. She earned public recognition after two of her songs, Nigerian Pussy and I Want 20 Inch Dick, went viral on video sharing websites such as WorldStarHipHop and YouTube, receiving 3 million views on Facebook in the first day alone. Her feminist and sexual lyrical content has gained her music much notoriety across West Africa and other parts of the world, but especially on the internet where she has since developed a strong fanbase whom call themselves "Vitarahians".
Her song Nigerian Pussy broke the record for most downloads in 24 hrs in Nigeria and was initially banned but now has more than 100,000 streams on Spotify the first for any African female rapper ever. Princess Vitarah has been praised for opening doors for African women concerning expression of sexuality and a writer for Pulse.ng wrote that, "Princess Vitarah goes head in on topics that chicks wouldn't be caught dead talking about in public before" and that she is paving the way for change and lots of African women "raise their fists to it".

Princess Vitarah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you hoes still broke
Your life is a joke
I just bought a boat
When I go to the bank
They recognize my face
I go to Wells Fargo
My rent cost $5000 dollars every month
But itโs nothing, Itโs nothing
Iโm stunting, Iโm stunting
Heard your new song it sounds just like me
All of these girls watch and copy me
None of you hoes can touch this flow
Flying first class everywhere I go
Online shopping
Order it
Tracking it
Flying it
Booking it
Money In
Flipping it
Whipping it
Double it
Taxing It
Mixing It
Cooking It
Rolling It
Calling It
Stalling It

I came from overseas
You know I rep NIG
Got that Visa now I eat
Itโs 2000 and something
Why you hoes still broke
If you ainโt got no money
Take yo broke ass home
My pockets getting deep
But the work will never stop
Cause making moneys easy
But keeping it is hard
Getting cheese is a habit
I chase it like a rabbit
If I see it Iโmma grab it
Thatโs why Iโm never lacking

My name is Princess Vitarah
Baddest B
I am the most fashionable and successful woman
I came from overseas
I moved from another country to the United States
You know I rep NIG
I represent Nigeria
Got that Visa now I eat
Now that I have a visa, I am successful and wealthy
Why you hoes still broke
I am confused why other women are not successful like me
If you ainโt got no money
If you don't have any money
Take yo broke ass home
Go back to your poor lifestyle
My pockets getting deep
I am becoming richer
But the work will never stop
I will always continue to work
Cause making moneys easy
It is not difficult for me to earn money
But keeping it is hard
Maintaining my wealth is challenging
Getting cheese is a habit
Making money is a routine for me
I chase it like a rabbit
I always pursue it like prey
If I see it Iโmma grab it
I will take advantage of any opportunity to earn money
Thatโs why Iโm never lacking
I am never lacking in wealth or resources
