Haviah Mighty – Breaking Barriers in Hip-Hop & Being a Gay Woman in Rap.

January 5th, 2026
The Kelly Alexander Show

JUNO Award-winning Canadian rapper Haviah Mighty joins The Kelly Alexander Show for a powerful and candid conversation about her career, creativity and identity in hip-hop.

Haviah talks about the success of her hit single “Lucky,” how her career gained momentum and the role her family has played in supporting her journey. She also opens up about being a gay woman in hip-hop, how she navigates the messaging in her music and whether she feels the Toronto hip-hop scene is truly inclusive and supportive.

We also dive into the moment she first heard “Lucky” on the radio, what inspires her artistry today and some fun rapid-fire topics including why she’d swap lives with Billie Eilish, join a group chat with KATSEYE and travel to space with Drake.

Enjoy the conversation and thank you for listening to The Kelly Alexander Show!
