Disrupt Exclusive Interview With THE YMMI BRAND
What exactly is THE YMMI BRAND?
THE YMMI BRAND is a clothing, lifestyle, and music company based around the mindset that “Your Music Must Inspire” meaning that in the song of life, you must use whatever it is you love to do to inspire the world and uplift your community.
What was the process for THE YMMI BRAND when you first started?
THE YMMI BRAND as a clothing company started back in 2019 as more of just a hobby and labor of love, honestly I just really wanted to stand out when I created the “Space Junk” design, my initial intention was to only create it for me as a 1 of 1, but it was at the “Magic Show 2020” {before covid-19 shut the world down}where I noticed the impact of what I had created because I literally had people from all walks of life stopping and asking me what designer was I wearing and if it was for sale, and where could they get it. It was that response from those strangers and other designers the really put the spark in me to take everything to the next level.
What does being a successful fashion designer entail?
That is a very complex question, but I will give you the simplest answer. First things first, you have to dare to be different and challenge yourself both creatively and business-wise, don’t focus on trying to make money straight out the gate as you have to let the people decide what’s your premier product but once you create the demand,,, you feed it. Lastly, Be sure to pay attention to detail in every area of your brand, from the designs, fabric, marketing, and finances. There are many other things I could go into, but those would be the key things.
What is the most rewarding part of being a fashion designer?
To see people excited to be in our clothes or to travel around America and see people in different places with our clothes on or when a store calls you a couple of days after you stocked them up to request more units because they sold out, those were some of the parts that let me know, “oh, this real.”

Where are you from?
I am originally from Springfield, IL but spent most of my younger years between Minneapolis & Chicago
What are some of the challenges you faced along the way?
All types but mainly finding the right fabrics and manufactures as my focus on quality wouldn’t allow me to have anything less than phenomenal!
What does it take to be a successful fashion designer?
Love what you do, you find your voice, and create your movement as the saying goes-
“If you build it, they will come”!
Where do you see your brand in the next five years?
I see us expanding to more stores, rolling out our kid’s line, and really becoming that next big brand
What is some advice you would give to a young fashion designer?
Do it cause you love and the money will come, don’t get caught in the up trends just be you and let your energy attract all that is already yours.
Who/What is your biggest inspiration?
I get inspiration from all places but my biggest inspiration would be from an artist like Basquiat and Vincent Van Gogh and designers like Nigo, Virgil Abloh, Michael Cherry, Dapper Dan, and Daymond John.
Anything else your audience should know?
That the sky is the limit and for those that believe they have a limit don’t be that person, always remind yourself there are no limits!

Bobbi Althoff Claps Back, Shuts Down Rumors of Sleeping with Interview Guests
Bobbi Althoff is currently one of the biggest names in the podcast and media space. Her rapid rise to fame has been a bit polarizing, with some people not appreciating how quickly she has ascended the ranks. Despite this, Althoff remains a heavily discussed figure on social media, especially for her interviews with rappers. However, her success has unfortunately come with a wave of misogynistic accusations.
A common criticism Althoff faces is the baseless claim that she “slept her way to the top,” particularly after her interview with Drake. Even Ryan Garcia perpetuated this erroneous rumor. Previously, Althoff had not addressed these trolls, but on Wednesday, she decided to put a hater in their place. According to TMZ, Althoff took to her Instagram to call out the false accusations.
In her Instagram story, Althoff made it clear that she does not sleep around and has never slept with any of her interview guests. She expressed frustration over the constant accusations whenever she posts about interviewing a man. Additionally, she addressed rumors about her personal life, stating that social media only shows what she allows it to. With this, Althoff aimed to silence the rumors once and for all.
What do you think of Bobbi Althoff’s response? Do you believe this will put an end to such comments, or will the ignorance persist? Share your thoughts in the comments below. For more updates on your favorite artists and their upcoming projects, stay tuned to Honk Magazine.

Lori Harvey Rocks Leopard Bikini and Cowgirl Hat, Ignites Social Media Frenzy
Lori Harvey may be keeping her dating endeavors under wraps these days, but fortunately for fans, the same doesn’t apply to her beach-ready bod. Recently, the 27-year-old model took to her Instagram Story to share a fun clip of herself vibing to Tyla with a couple of friends. She stunned in a tiny leopard print bikini, which she paired with a straw hat and some eye-catching gold jewelry.
Hollywood Unlocked shared the fun clip on Instagram earlier today, and as expected, their comments section is now flooded with fans sharing their takes. While most are simply thirsting over Harvey’s summery look and snatched figure, others can’t wait to hear more about her love life, particularly after her recent Parisian rendezvous with Luka Sabbat.
She and the Grownish actor were spotted enjoying lunch at a local hotspot last month, and of course, dating rumors were soon to follow. Harvey didn’t waste any time shutting them down, however, making it clear that the two of them are nothing more than friends. “Aht! Aht! Me and Luka have been friends for years, let’s not start this narrative,” she wrote at the time. It appears as though these days, she’s enjoying her time as a single gal, at least in the public eye. Fans can’t blame her for it either, though they are anxious as ever to see who she’ll pop out with following her split from Damson Idris.
Either way, she looks to be living her best life and making the most of her summer, and her supporters are certainly here for it. What do you think of Lori Harvey living her best life in a leopard print bikini? What about fans badgering her for more details about her love life? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on Honk Magazine for more updates.
