Chapiadora

Cazzu's song 'Chapiadora' is a bold and unapologetic anthem that delves into themes of materialism, empowerment, and the hustle culture. The term 'chapiadora' is a colloquial expression in the Dominican Republic and other parts of the Caribbean that refers to a woman who is perceived to be using her charms to extract money or gifts from men. Cazzu, an Argentine rapper and singer known for her trap and reggaeton influences, flips the script on this term, embracing it as a symbol of power and financial independence.

The lyrics of 'Chapiadora' portray a woman who is focused on making money ('pensando en el money, papi, a todas horas') and who equates her financial success with emotional strength ('las que cuentan money son las que no lloran'). Cazzu's character in the song is self-sufficient, carrying not just makeup in her purse but also a calculator, highlighting her business acumen. The song's narrative rejects traditional romantic relationships in favor of a lifestyle where wealth and luxury are paramount, as seen in lines like wanting to tell time with a Rolex and teaching her 'gatas' (a term that can mean 'cats' or 'girls') how to save and make money.

The song also addresses the criticism and envy that come with such a lifestyle. Cazzu asserts her dominance in the industry, warning others not to mess with her and declaring her disinterest in fake friendships, only valuing those who respect her. The repeated phrase 'don't fuck with me' emphasizes her assertiveness and control over her life and career. 'Chapiadora' is a defiant declaration of self-worth and a rejection of societal expectations, wrapped in a catchy, danceable beat that has become characteristic of Cazzu's musical style.
