Meet Taffy, the 18-year-old Egyptian Rapper Who Could Be The Next Nicki Minaj

Farah Maged aka Taffy is an 18-year-old Egyptian rapper on a self-declared path to change the rap game in the Arab world, and become the next version of her idol and icon: Nicki Minaj. Daughter of Maged Sorour, the most renowned qanun player in the Middle East, Taffy has taken music in a slightly different direction, recently releasing a lush and catchy song titled “Stressin' ft. CaiRoll (Prod. Mubz Beats).”

A talented singer and charming freestyler, Taffy's Instagram sports many videos of her flowing about how much of a queen she is, in an accent straight out of Queens. But don’t let Taffy’s NY accent fool you – she hails from Maadi. Between the support of her superstar musician father and being on a first (artist) name basis with Nicki, Taffy may just be on her way to the top.
