[5] Her debut single, "DDLG", was released in the same month and also gained attention on TikTok. [9] A snippet from an unreleased song, "For That Cash", was posted on her TikTok in July 2020 and was heralded as a "lesbian anthem" on the platform. [5] She released her single "3 Musketeers" featuring fellow rapper NextYoungin in July 2020. The song also gained traction on TikTok.

Public image

Jessica Wang of Bustle said ppcocaine is best known for "aggressive vocal deliveries". [5] According to Zoe Haylock of Vulture , she has a "nasally cartoon-character voice". [10] Jon Caramanica of New York Times said her music has a "rascally joy and bad-kid energy", calling it "playfully lewd" and noting that it has become "TikTok grammar" since its release. [7] Time called her vocals "energetic, if chipmunk-esque". [16] In 2020, her song "3 Musketeers" was described by Caramanica as "one of the definitive songs of this summer" and "something of a lesbian anthem on TikTok". [7] Wang called her song "PJ" "an anthem for women psyching each other up" and called her unreleased song "For That Cash" "a lesbian anthem". [5] She gained popularity on both "alt" TikTok and "straight" TikTok. [10] The Los Angeles Times called her songs "so over-the-top sexual that they make 'WAP' read like The Notebook ." [14]

Vulture compared her favorably to rappers Megan Thee Stallion, Flo Milli, and Rico Nasty. [10] According to Wang, ppcocaine's songs became popular on TikTok due to dance videos made during the COVID-19 pandemic. The publication called her "the TikTok star behind, among other trends, the viral 'Shake Some Ass' dance trend". [5]

Diomi has cited American rappers Rico Nasty, Stunna Girl, Bali Baby, and Flo Milli as influences on her music, [5] the former of which featured Diomi in the official remix of the song "Smack a Bitch" on her 2020 album Nightmare Vacation. Diomi is also known for her trademark color pink, usually wearing pink clothes and or bubblegum pink hair. [10]
