Reneé Rapp is back in the hot seat—and she’s not holding back. Following the release of her sophomore album Bite Me, the lesbian pop star returned to Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast to clear the air on everything from her own cheating scandal to her hatred of… well, we’ll get there.
“I swear that I would never, ever, ever cheat…”
One of the biggest topics tackled in the episode? Rapp’s new track “You’d Like That Wouldn’t You,” in which she openly addresses cheating in a past relationship. The standout lyric—“And I swear that I would never, ever, ever cheat / Again”—has had fans buzzing since the album dropped.
“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,” Rapp shared. “I was like, this feels so f*cking good to get out.”
The “Snow Angel” singer revealed the track almost didn’t make the cut after writing it in Nashville. “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.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time Rapp has cracked a joke about the lyrics. While speaking to Ziwe Fumudoh, she answered a pointed question about whether it’s okay for a woman to cheat if it’s with another woman: “Totally. It’s discovering yourself,” she deadpanned.
Still, she’s not letting herself off the hook. “Yeah, it was f*cked up,” she admitted. “I was in a miserable relationship, which doesn’t excuse cheating. I’m not saying that. It doesn’t excuse cheating.”

How Gay Can You Get
Naturally, Cooper also asked Rapp to name “the most lesbian thing” about her—and her answer had fans howling.
“Towa said this to me the other day,” she said, referring to her girlfriend, musician Towa Bird. “She said, ‘You are so f*cking gay. You are so much gayer than I am.’”
Her reason? Rapp’s hatred towards men genitalia. “It makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t understand she,” she continued. “It makes me deeply upset.” And the listeners ate it up.
“This is the realest thing my ears have ever heard,” one user wrote.
Leaving The Sex Lives of College Girls
Cooper also did not shy away from asking Rapp why she decided to throw shade at her previous acting role in the HBO Max comedy series.
Specifically, the lines in “Leave Me Alone,” “I took my sex life with me. Now the show ain’t f*king.”
“God forbid I use wordplay,” Rapp giggled. “God forbid a girl uses wordplay. Look, similar to all the bullsh*t, what am I to do if not make music that is genuinely reflective of my life? It just is.”
