In November, rapper Kash Doll took to social media to express her frustration with some of the other artists using the moniker "doll." Kash emerged on the rap scene in 2014, before the other women she was referring to, and therefore claims the position of the veteran doll among the four similarly named MCs — Asian Doll, Dream Doll, and Cuban Doll.
After she sounded off her feelings about the use of the word, minor tiffs ignited between Kash and Asian Doll and DreamDoll. Now that the drama seems to have subsided, we can focus on the fact that, though the four rappers have names in common, each of them is dynamic and can thrive on their own.

As the self-proclaimed "Queen of Teens," the Dallas-born MC is focused and successfully applying pressure on her rap peers.
