Personal life

Fowler has one daughter and one son. [2] [3]

Controversy

Fowler, who is dubbed by critics as the Philippines' equivalent to Cardi B, [4] gained viral notoriety and controversy for her sexually-charged content particularly in her music videos, [5] most notably the single "M.P.L. (Malibog Pag Lasing)" (lit. 'Horny When Drunk'); [6] which was also criticised for its alleged objectification of women bordering towards fetishism and pornography. [4] [7] [8]

Fowler maintains that the videos are only intended for adults and were set as age-restricted on her YouTube channel, [9] [10] later stating in an interview with One News PH that "Malibog Pag Lasing" was drawn from her real-life experiences; [11] despite this, she faced an arrest warrant over alleged violations of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 in relation to her music videos following a complaint by the Kapisanan ng Social Media Broadcasters ng Pilipinas (KSMBP) on obscenity grounds. [12] Drag queen Pura Luka Vega–who was also previously arrested for alleged blasphemy law violations in 2023 over a drag performance as Jesus Christ [13] [14] –defended Fowler's right to self-expression in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating "Why are we going after people who are expressing themselves through their art?" [15]
