Erica Banks

If you don’t already know who rapper Erica Banks is, chances are you’ve at least heard a snippet of her smash hit, “Buss It.” That single, which topped the Billboard Top Triller U.S. charts in 2021, was the basis of a pandemic-era TikTok trend. The #BussItChallenge was particularly popular with women as they would transform from wearing casual clothes to full makeup and glamorous attire when the beat dropped.

Born and raised in DeSoto, Texas, Banks, 25, is also a cast member on the current season of Love & Hip Hop. Banks will perform three shows at SXSW 2024: Friday, March 15 at the Made from Scratch Sound Stage on E 7th St, March 16 at Soho Lounge on E 6th St, and March 16 at the SXSW Stage on 603 Sabine Street. In this interview, Banks talks about the celebrities who danced to “Buss It,” starring on Love & Hip Hop, freestyling, and more.
