In 2011, while serving as a member of the rap group with her friends, titled White Girl Mob, she released the music video for 'Gucci Gucci' to viral success. White Girl Mob disbanded in 2012 but Kreayshawn's solo career took off with notable critical and public reception. 'Gucci Gucci' followed the release of her 2010 debut mixtape 'Kittys x Choppas' and appeared on her first studio album 'Somethin' 'Bout Kreay'. The classic track generated nearly three million views on YouTube in the first three weeks and is now at over 68 million views.
Her other business ventures included the launch of the OK 1984 fashion brand and she released a choker collection called Hella Cute. She is the sole creative director of OK 1984 since ever since the brand was created. In 2014, Kreayshawn announced that she is starting a podcast with Chippy Nonstop called 'Lost in Thot' but it was since removed from SoundCloud. Around the time Kreay also kept producing and collaborating, releasing songs such as 'Hey Ricky' and 'Pizza Song'. During her trending resurgence on Twitter, Kreayshawn actually responded and let fans know how best to support her as she is currently in debt to Sony.
