Reneé Rapp Just Addressed Those Cheating Claims on ‘Call Her Daddy'
Reneé Rapp is back on Call Her Daddy hot off the release of her sophomore album, Bite Me, and she's getting candid about how her personal life plays into its lyrics. ICYMI, the singer-songwriter has been catching side-eyes on a certain side of the internet thanks to her new track, 'You'd Like That Wouldn't You,' which alludes to potentially cheating in a relationship.
Upon listening to the song, fans on TikTok began theorizing that Reneé may have cheated on her ex, Alissa Carrington, with her current girlfriend, Towa Bird —and the artist is weighing in on the discourse.

During the episode, Reneé revealed that the song almost didn't make the final cut of the album because she wrote it when she was 'really stressed' in Nashville and decided to add in the 'cheeky line about like, I would never cheat again.' Eventually, she slotted it in as the closing song on her tracklist.
'I feel so relieved to be able to poke fun at something so horrible that happened to me and make light of it and something that I did at one point that I'm not proud of. I was like, this feels so fucking good to get out,' Reneé told CHD host and former Cosmo cover girl, Alex Cooper.
She also admitted that she was worried her lyrics would be misinterpreted, adding, 'And then months later I was like, 'Oh my god, what if it isn't received in the right way? I don't know if I want to put that much of my personal life out there. I don't know what I did.' Ultimately, what I always come back to is, no one knows every intimate detail of my life. This is how it should be. That is okay. I made something that I am really proud of.'
While she wasn't clear about timelines, Reneé admitted to cheating in a past relationship during an interview with Ziwe Fumudoh before she dropped her album on August 1. 'Is it okay for straight women to cheat if it's with another woman?' Ziwe asked, to which Reneé replied, 'Totally. It's discovering yourself.'
She then got candid about her journey when she was asked if she had ever cheated. 'Yeah, it was fucked up,' she admitted, adding, 'I was in a miserable relationship, which doesn't excuse cheating. I'm not saying that. It doesn't excuse cheating.'

'I got super drunk with one of my friends, and then I woke up the next morning, and was like, 'All right, I think it's time to pack this one up,'' she explained without going into full detail. It's unclear whether she was referring to her most recent relationship or a previous connection.
Towa performed as the opening act for the U.S. and European leg of Reneé's Snow Hard Feelings Tour from September 2023 to March 2024, and the pair hard-launched their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party soon after.
