Some Fans Are Dismayed That Rapper Mulatto Is Still Performing Shows During The Pandemic

After big looks like an appearance in the oh-so-viral “WAP” music video, and her own debut album, Queen Of Da Souf, rising rapper Mulatto has been having a breakout year in 2020.
So much so, that she seems to have decided to continue performing live shows during the pandemic, a decision that some fans are dismayed by. The show don’t seem to include any social distancing measures, and flaunt guidelines like avoiding crowds, indoor spaces, and even mask guidelines are all being completely ignored in these settings. In social media clips and videos of last night’s performance at D’Truth Nightclub in Valdosta, Georgia, none of the attendees seem to be wearing masks, and there is definitely not a lot of space between them.
One clip seems to be showing the fire marshall coming in to shut the show down, with mixed results:
Fuck ass fire Marshall tried shutting #Mulatto down as soon as she hit the stage. We still got some songs in on his ass tho.

On their Facebook page, the club promoted the event as “Baddies Night Out” and also posted video of the performance from a different perspective, showing just how close crowd members are to each other:
People are sharing thoughts on Twitter about how these events could be risking the spread of COVID-19 and putting lives in danger:
And going home to grandma in a few days. This some hoe ass behavior. But when ya fam end up on a ventilator or dead before they can get to the hospital, keep this same energy.
We don’t wanna hear shit about “pray for so & so”

Disrespectful and ignorant asf. Apparently these folks don't give a damn about their grandmas or paw paws. My sister's boss's whole family had covid. Her daughter was on a ventilator for 3 wks and her husband is now dead. Yet, folks keep playing.

@oxtail_ackee Valdosta, GA huh? Guess they forgot about all those folks that died not far away in Albany at the beginning of Covid…South GA elders don’t let your grandkids in for Thanksgiving unless you ready for slow singing and flower bringing!

Lemme fix the original tweet right quick:

Man yall please don't go to no big parties just #mulatto there. There's still a pandemic going on. At least don't go home to your family if you did party at a superspreader event. It's selfish as hell and dumb.

The risk of the pandemic is exactly why the rest of the music industry has shut down live shows for now. Hopefully, these shows won’t continue and Mulatto will begin to understand the risks — she wasn’t wearing a mask, either.

The AYAMI unveils a soft anthem of rebirth on new release “Good Morning”
The AYAMI’s latest release, “Good Morning,” is an Afro-pop song about waking up to your emotional self, finding yourself, and the silent strength it takes to reclaim your life. The AYAMI are at their best with this one. Empowerment is often met with loud declarations, but this song comes in with grace, soft but sure, vulnerable but strong.
“Good Morning” is essentially about emerging from illusion. It’s about that powerful moment when you realize that you’ve been living someone else’s version of your life, shaped by expectation, compromise, or false comfort, and you finally choose to return to yourself again.
The groove keeps it moving and grooving, and the soft assurance in the vocals keeps it intimate and honest. The result is empowering but not in a heavy-handed way. The AYAMI chooses emotional clarity over dramatic excess. This restraint makes the message land harder.
