She moved to the city for an internship with fashion maven Rachel Zoe which didn\u2019t last long (\u201cshe\u2019s so ditzy\u201d), taking a job dressing mannequins in Hustler store window fronts. Tiring of the retail gig, she moved along to an 8-month stint as a stripper which didn\u2019t work out either, as she explains &#8220;I don\u2019t even like men, and I have to pretend that I\u2019m loving every fucking stupid piece of shit there.\u201d\u00a0Currently, she\u2019s the face of Diesel accessories, and an up and coming rapper. Brooke Candy has been a lot of things in her 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>You might have seen her co-starring in Grimes\u2019 video for \u201cGenesis&#8221; clad in a medal body suit, 6-inch platform Nikes and braids past her ass, but the persona she dons for her own \u201cOpulence\u201d video is even more striking.\u00a0Opening with a bathroom murder, ending with a high speed car crash, and filled in between with glitter, diamonds, and bare skin, the video is not for the easily offended or faint of heart.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grimes - Genesis\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1FH-q0I1fJY?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOpulence\u201d is the title track off her debut EP, and as the title might suggest, there\u2019s a lot of braggadocio happening here.

Working all of the aforementioned \u201cdirty jobs\u201d rather than accept financial help from her father, Candy is a spokesperson for a cultural awakening in which spirituality trumps cash flow. \u201cI don\u2019t give a fuck about anything in excess,\u201d she explains. \u201cI just want to make art and help people. That\u2019s it. \u2018Opulence\u2019 makes fun of all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brooke Candy - Opulence\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CbChHPQhXtM?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The \u201cQ\u201d identified rapper has a style that\u2019s been compared to everyone from Lady Gaga to Nicki Minaj to Gwen Stefani, but she\u2019s got a personality all her own, and it\u2019s a strong one.
