Cazzu’s journey from independent artist to ‘Jefa del Trap’

Argentine rapper and singer Cazzu is making headlines, and it’s not just for her music.

Despite the controversy, Cazzu’s journey from independent artist to ‘Jefa del Trap’ is a testament to her resilience and talent. Here’s a deeper look into her life, career, and the recent events that have put her in the spotlight.

Who is Cazzu?
Julieta Emilia Cazzuchelli, known professionally as Cazzu, is an Argentine rapper and singer who has made a profound impact on the Latin music scene. Born on December 16th, 1993, in Ledesma, Jujuy, Cazzu’s musical journey is both inspiring and unique. Her father, a truck driver who loved playing the guitar, had a significant influence on her early musical interests, and from a young age, she realized that music was her passion.
Cazzu’s early musical ventures included singing cumbia and rock, and although these didn’t bring her much success, she didn’t give up. Eventually, she made the transition to the urban music scene, where she found her true voice and connected to an audience. Things weren’t easy for her at first; as an independent artist, she had to pay for her initial recordings and video clips out of her own pocket.

In an interview with Billboard Argentina, she described her stage persona, Cazzu, as her alter ego and a superhero figure—everything she aspired to be. This alter ego helped her carve a niche in the heavily male-dominated Latin trap music scene. Her breakthrough came with the song “Loca,” a collaboration with Argentine rappers Khea and Duki, a tract that would later soar in popularity after Bad Bunny joined for a remix.
Cazzu quickly became known for her unapologetic style and songs that often centered on female empowerment and disillusionment with romantic love. Songs like “Toda,” “Pa Mi,” and “Chapiadora” resonated with many, earning her the title “Jefa del Trap.”
Cazzu’s collaborations with notable artists such as Bad Bunny, Myke Towers, Maria Becerra, and Bizarrap have helped to further solidify her place in the music industry. Her song “Nada” with Rauw Alejandro and her collaboration on “Music Sessions Vol. 32” with Bizarrap are just a few examples of her successful partnerships.
Cazzu and Christian Nodal: A Love Story With a Controversial Ending
Cazzu’s personal life has also been a subject of public interest, as she was in a high-profile relationship with Mexican singer Christian Nodal. Their romance faced intense public scrutiny, especially given Nodal’s previous involvement with singer and actress Belinda. Despite the controversies, Cazzu and Nodal’s relationship appeared strong, and last year they publically announced they were expecting their first child together. The couple’s daughter, Inti, was born in September 2023.

However, the relationship between Cazzu and Nodal would not last. Just days after Cazzu shared a heartfelt Father’s Day message on her social media, Nodal announced their separation. The real shock came when sources revealed that Nodal had started dating Angela Aguilar just two weeks after the breakup. This led to a flurry of accusations and rumors, with many questioning the timing and nature of Nodal’s new relationship.
In interviews, both Nodal and Aguilar clarified that their relationship wasn’t new. They had a connection from their previous collaboration on “Dime Cómo Quieres” in 2020 and they emphasized that their relationship was a continuation of a past bond that life had put on hold.
Meanwhile, Cazzu has been embracing motherhood and clarified that Nodal will still remain present in Inti’s life.
