Instagram Gallery: Mulatto Looking Fierce
Atlanta-born-and-raised rapper Mulatto is the latest female hip-hop star taking the rap game by storm. At only 21 years old, Mulatto’s 2019 breakout single, “B***h From Da Souf,” cracked the Billboard Hot 100 in August, shortly after the rapper’s cameo in Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s star-studded “WAP” music video. Born Alyssa Michelle Stephens, the 21-year-old’s moniker has become quite the point of controversy, but the rapper has revealed it’s her way of reclaiming her identity as a mixed-race person, which she says she frequently caught flack for from her peers throughout her adolescence.
Although she’s just now encroaching household-name-level fame, Mulatto isn’t exactly a newcomer to the industry. Having won season one of Lifetime hip-hop competition series, The Rap Game, when she was just 16, it was only a matter of time before the rapper rose to stardom. After releasing “B***h From Da Souf,” Mulatto was swiftly scooped up by RCA Records, under which she released her debut album, Queen of Da Souf, in August 2020. Trina and Saweetie jumped on a “B***h From Da Souf” remix last December, and Mulatto has even already collabed with her self-proclaimed idol, Gucci Mane, on her song “Muwop,” which dropped in July. As both her music and her unparalleled confidence and style illustrate, Mulatto has come to dominate.
Still not sure what we’re talking about? Look no further; check out our gallery below of some of the rapper’s most bossed-up pics.
A savage, wearing savage
Nope, it’s a full-time job and you’re a professional
Not Pictured: her foot, on our necks
Let ’em know
Dimes all around
Showing off her megawatt smile
Dripped in diamonds
Claiming her crown
Get a girl who can do both
In case you didn’t know: she’s rich

DJ Akademiks questions if Lil Durk will get bond as the racketeering case goes on
Lil Durk’s legal battle is about to take another big step, and DJ Akademiks is already sharing his expectations for what could go down when the rapper returns to court in November.
Durk is in custody, awaiting his next VICAR case in which authorities say he was running a criminal enterprise. His next trial was set for October 5, but recent developments have called into question when those proceedings will occur.
Durk’s murder for hire trial recently resulted in a not guilty verdict in November. Regardless of that outcome, he remains in custody because the separate racketeering related charges remain unresolved. Durk’s attorneys have asked for the new hearing and have been ordered to appear by U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, which also must submit a fresh bail report.
Against that backdrop, legal commentator Bradford Cohen had previously suggested Durk could eventually get bond. That view ties in with Durk’s not-guilty verdict in the earlier case, and the argument that the outcome could make it harder to sustain the remaining allegations.
DJ Akademiks sees things a bit differently. In a recent livestream, Akademiks predicted that Durk would not get a bond at the Nov. hearing. He believes the charges will stick and cites the seriousness of the allegations in the VICAR case as his reasoning. He also doesn’t appear to expect the rapper to be released from jail anytime soon as the case moves forward.
Akademiks’ prediction concerns the bond hearing, not Durk’s chances at trial. Durk’s legal situation remains unresolved for now. His recent acquittal has altered the circumstances of his arrest, but the separate racketeering case still looms over the rapper as both sides prepare for the next phase.

DJ Akademiks Resurrects 2015 Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef With Alleged Nicki Minaj Backstory
DJ Akademiks is digging up hip-hop history buried for 10 years as he offers his supposed explanation for how the Drake/Meek Mill feud came to a head in 2015. The back-and-forth between Akademiks and Meek Mill has resurfaced the conversation. Akademiks returned to the long-running Drake-Meek beef on his stream last night, saying a comment by Nicki Minaj had something to do with what happened between the two rappers.
According to Akademiks, Meek and Minaj were shopping at a designer fashion store when they got to the register. He says that when Meek told her he didn’t have the cash to pay for Minaj, she allegedly told him he would never be Drake. Akademiks also claims Minaj left the store on her own, and then Meek went on X, and what happened next started the infamous feud with Drake.
The account remains an allegation, not a confirmed explanation. The information provided has not been independently verified, and ultimately only those involved, including Minaj and Meek Mill, could confirm the story’s authenticity.

The beef between Drake and Meek Mill started in 2015 and has become a staple in hip-hop conversation. Meek struggled after the fallout, while the beef became a defining moment in Drake’s career. However, the two eventually made up and collaborated on “Going Bad,” signaling a return to a more cooperative relationship despite the rivalry’s tension.
Now that Akademiks and Meek are throwing shots again, the events of 2015 are back in the conversation. By reflecting on the feud, Akademiks has added another possible piece of context to a story that has been a hot topic in hip-hop for years.
Whether his version of events is what actually happened, however, remains unresolved. Currently, the designer-store story isn’t factual, but it is Akademiks’ version of the events surrounding the beef.
