Janae Nierah Wherry (born April 15, 1998), known professionally as Sexyy Red, is an American rapper and singer. She rose to prominence with the release of her 2023 single "Pound Town" (with Tay Keith); its popularity spawned the remixed sequel "Pound Town 2" (with Nicki Minaj), her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Released that same year, her follow-up single, "SkeeYee", was met with similar success; both songs were included on her second mixtape, Hood Hottest Princess (2023). Her 2024 single, "Get It Sexyy", peaked within the chart's top 20 of the chart and led her third mixtape, In Sexyy We Trust (2024).
Also in 2023, Wherry guest appeared on the remixes of the singles "Shake Sumn" by DaBaby, "Slut Me Out" by NLE Choppa, and "Peaches & Eggplants" by Young Nudy, alongside rapper Latto, all of which entered the Billboard Hot 100. Her appearance on Drake's 2023 single "Rich Baby Daddy" peaked within the chart's top 20, and the following year, her appearance on Tyler, the Creator's "Sticky" peaked within its top ten.
Billboard declared her as "one of the biggest breakout artists of summer 2023."[3] She won "Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist" at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, after being nominated the year prior. Her public image, lyrics, and media presence have been described as brazenly sexual, boisterous, and "confident".[4][failed verification]
