Indian-Canadian YouTube star known as Superwoman dropped a rap video with banging beats and lyrics that would make MC Lyte proud.
Only, in her signature style, Lilly Singh does more than just translate the lyrics - she uses them as tools to touch upon an array of topics like beauty standards for women, body positivity, issues related to mental health, bisexuality and more.
The video uses the music of three songs - Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai, All Izz Well and Aankh Marey.
"I love Bollywood and I love rap music. So I decided to let my worlds collide by turning some of my favourite songs into rap songs! And while I was at it, I thought, why not make them little motivational anthems that speak to causes close to my heart?" wrote Lilly while sharing the video.

Since being shared online, the video has collected over 5-lakh views on YouTube, along with thousands of comments. On social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, people can't stop raving about the empowering reinterpretation of their favourite Bollywood songs.
