Sophie Cunningham’s TikTok Gets Ruthlessly Fact-Checked By Her Own Interview
Sophie Cunningham forgot her own words.
Sophie Cunningham posted a TikTok video that fired back quickly on Monday. The overlay asked, “What rap songs do you listen to before games?” Her answer was a hotel-room dance. No rap. Brooks & Dunn. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.”
FearBuck blasted the clip to 18 million views. The caption said she “makes it known she doesn’t listen to rap songs before games.” Community Notes jumped in fast.

The note pointed to a 2025 ClutchPoints interview. Sophie Cunningham had already named Lil Wayne and Drake in her pregame mix.

Sophie Cunningham said at the time that her playlist swings with her mood.
“It could be anything from country. Morgan Wallen, Cody Johnson, Riley Green, all the way to Lil Wayne, Drake, Future,” she said. “So I’m kind of a squirrel brain, so I don’t know.”
That line is why the TikTok landed like a rewrite. She did not say she hates rap on camera. She just danced to 1991 country instead of naming a verse. The internet filled in the rest.
She is already under fire for rap comments. This clip poured gas on it.
Bustle asked her again in March.
“Sometimes I’m feeling Christian music or a country vibe. If I need something else, I’ll go Drake or Future.”
That was 2026. The Wayne-Drake-Future list was not ancient history.
Brooks & Dunn dropped a “Hell yeah!” in the comments. Country fans ate it up. Rap fans did not.
Sophie Cunningham Turned a Joke Into a Culture Fight

Sophie Cunningham has 4 million TikTok followers. A silent joke still reads as a stance. The white shorts, the braid, the two-step. It traveled because she is already a culture magnet.
She has been here before. The tighty-whities bit on the court blew up the same way. One clip. Instant sides.
The Fever were coming off a Chicago game when the clip hit. Playoff basketball is still the job. The algorithm does not care. Sophie Cunningham gave it a punchline. The community note gave it a transcript. Both are now part of the same post.
