Cortisa Star (born July 11, 2005) is an American rapper. She is best known for her song "Fun", which went viral on Twitter and TikTok in 2024.
Star was born on July 11, 2005. She is a transgender woman. In 2022, she posted a video jokingly referring to herself as an "underground rap princess" despite never having rapped and soon began releasing rap music due to the support she received. Her singles "Cortisa Crump" and "Fun" were both released in February 2024, the latter of which began trending on TikTok that month. She released her single "Bad ASF" in December 2024. Also that month, her music became popular among Twitter users in December 2024 and received attention from singer Charli XCX and record producer Loraine James after a performance of "Fun" on the YouTube channel 4 Shooters Only went viral on the platform. By then, she had released 11 songs.
On March 11, 2025, Star made her runway debut for Miu Miu on the last day of Paris Fashion Week. Her track "Paris" details this experience.
Star's music is known for its heavy bass, which she has stated was initially inspired by a scene from the animated series Adventure Time in which Jake the Dog dances with a bug, and hyperpop and drill influences. Her stage name was inspired by her deadname and her love of space. For PinkNews, Charlie Duncan wrote that she was "known for her explicit lyrics and devil-may-care attitude", and The Fader described her songs as "bubbly blown-out drill" and her lyrics as "truly outrageous". For the same publication, Steffanee Wang described her songs as "bombastic and risqué".
