Mulatto Won’t Be Dropping New Music Until Name Change Is Revealed

Mulatto Won’t Be Dropping New Music Until Name Change Is Revealed! Mulatto, the 22-year-old Atlanta rapper has risen steadily to become one of Hip Hop’s hottest artists. From releasing her fire debut album Queen Of Da Souf to becoming the first solo woman in rap to get a gold plaque from her city, the rapper’s career has been on a meteoritic rise. In addition, the rapper has also received love from some of the industry’s legends, including Nicki Minaj one of her inspirations since childhood. Owing to the superstar’s relatively successful career, she has been placed on the global radar. In light of this; the rapper has been contemplating a name change for months thanks to her controversial name.

The rapper has faced criticism from her fans and peers alike in the recent past for her name, which some have flagged as offensive because of the historical connotations around the term being used to describe people of mixed race. These allegations came in the wake of the colorism debate after she allegedly said on Clubhouse that colorism wasn’t real. The rapper took to Twitter to deny the allegations, which made her trend for hours. “I WOULD NEVER SAY NO SHIT LIKE COLORISM DOESN’T EXIST!” she tweeted. “Please stop with the false narrative!” she wrote in a follow-up message.

During our exclusive interview with the hotnewhiphop last month, she beat around the bush on the idea although she hadn’t settled on the right name back then “I don’t know my final decision yet, but I’m definitely at the drawing board right now for sure,” she said. Now, that’s changed and the rapper is now ready to introduce the world to her new name. During a recent interview with Hot Freestyle, she confirmed that she’s got her name already picked out, announcing to the world that she won’t be releasing new music until her new name is revealed.

“You know you might know your intentions, but these are strangers who don’t know you, never even met you in person,” she said. “So you gotta hear each other out, and if you know those aren’t your intentions and that’s how it’s being perceived, it’s like why not make a change or alter it? For me, it was the name. So now I’m like, ‘OK, my intentions was to never glorify being mulatto.’ So if that’s how it’s being perceived and people think I’m saying, ‘Oh, I’m better because I’m mulatto’ or ‘My personality trait is mulatto’ … then I need to change the matter at hand.”

She went further to explain that her name change will be revealed as part of a “big production”, which shouldn’t be surprising considering her creative album rollout last year. “I need to be able to speak on it and people hear me out,” she said, refuting claims that she’ll be going by her real name Alyssa Michelle Stephens. “I want them to also understand that the name change at this level in your career is a big decision. Freaking investors, labels, everything has been riding on this name, so it is a big decision.”
