Sof’s New Savage Track is the Diss Track of the Summer

A. Pollinger

East Coast pop sensation, Sof drops her single “Buh-Bye!” today! This is the singer’s first single of the year since the release of “Ataraxia” in 2022.  “Buh-Bye!” is a diss track dedicated to fukbois everywhere; particularly slimy dudes attempting to take advantage of their female friendships.
