In the summer of 2019, the Queen of Bounce debuted her limited run ice cream flavor ‘Big Freedia’s Bouncin’ Beignets’ with the ice cream giant Ben & Jerry’s. She graced the cover of ​Billboard Magazine​, and was invited by​ Vogue Magazine​ to be the official host of the Iive Instagram stream for the Met Gala.

In October 2019, Big Freedia and multi-platinum pop artist Kesha released their new pop single “Raising Hell.” The song remains on the pop radio charts and the two performed the hit song on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!

Big Freedia’s latest single “Louder” from her forthcoming project dropped in November. She is also the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, ​Big Freedia: God Save the Queen Diva!​ on Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster.
