CupcakKe is giving away cash on her new 10K Tour

The clue’s in the name, really

CupcakKe is kicking off an American tour pretty soon – September 7, to be precise – but there’s an added twist. Every night, the Chicago rapper will be giving away a not-insignificant chunk of cash to a randomly-selected audience member.

“I present to everyone ‘The 10k Tour’ (Giveaway)!” she writes in a tweet. “I will be giving away $10,000!!! Every night of the tour I will be calling a random name out of a hat & that will be the winner of the night & I will do it every night of the tour!!!”

So buying entry to each show is basically like buying a lottery ticket, only you get to see one of the most radical (and X-rated) rappers perform at the same time (maybe even with her take on Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” thrown into the mix).

Unfortunately the tour, which will cover 21 cities, won’t see CupcakKe travelling outside the US for now; broke CupcakKe fans in the UK will just have to sit tight and wait their turn.
