My personal opinion on why I don't like her:

First of all, I hate her name, big time. I realise that's not actually a legit complaint but there are those names that just sound so awful to my ears that I have to wonder how anybody could have ever considered using them, and hers is one. I know people get riled up at her for supposedly stealing it from Azealia Banks but she quite evidently didn't so I don't accept that as a reason to dislike her.

Secondly I really don't like her voice. It's just so painfully faux-American. I don't really know what more I can say about it.

Thirdly I think her music's just plain vulgar. When it's done well I genuinely love sex in music but songs like Pu$$y just invoke feelings of revulsion in me. Dealing with the subject in any kind of music requires a kind of passion and drive to it while her lyrics just come across to me as cold and distant. It makes me think of a pornstar rapping about her day job than someone who's actually enjoying going down on another woman.

Of course I recognise that these are merely my observations and opinions and that other people will not feel the same way about her etc.
