Da Brat has the internet doing a double take after a new video surfaced showing the rapper serving looks and confidence while getting camera-ready. The clip quickly made its rounds online, with fans sounding off after catching a glimpse of the hip-hop icon stepping out in a new look. And, lets just say it had many doing a double take and wondering if they’d ever seen Da Brat quite like this before.
In the video circulating online, Da Brat appears to be in a dressing room as a makeup artist touches up her glam with a brush. The rapper rocks a head full of curly hair with red tones and streaks while wearing a matching denim outfit that hugged her figure and showed off what her mama gave her. Da Brat later shared footage from the photo session on Instagram, joking in the caption, Why are people reposting this?
As soon as the video started making its rounds, fans wasted no time running to The Shade Rooms Instagram comment section and running it all the way up. Some users pointed out that Da Brat had “always been fine” and simply kept it covered under her signature baggy clothes. While others jokingly wondered if she looked like this the whole time. And, of course, a few commenters had jokes, asking whether former flame Allen Iverson might be thinking about spinning the block after seeing the viral clip.
One Instagram user @fitnessiam said, “YO IVERSON YOU PEEPING THIS ”
This Instagram user @dominiquechinn shared, “Her and her sister fine, them good genes ”
And, Instagram user @seikojewelry.co added, “Fine as wine under them construction work clothes she be wearing ”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @iamtammijean claimed, “I find it hilarious that ppl dont know she been had BODY!! Under all dat baggy shyt she just got thicker wit it ”
While Instagram user @kweenmocha shared, “Hiding all that under them John Cena shorts really pissed me off ”
Lastly, Instagram user @truly.ese wrote, “She had no business being a stud“
For longtime fans, the reaction may have less to do with the outfit itself and more to do with the image many people have associated with Da Brat throughout her career. The rap icon, born Shawntae Harris-Dupart, is known for her 90s style, often rocking oversized jerseys, baggy jeans, and a signature tomboy aesthetic that became part of her identity. So when the viral clip showed her confidently stepping out in a more fitted denim look, some social media users admitted they werent ready. While Da Brat has always carried that same confidence, fans joked that seeing her switch things up had the internet collectively saying, Hold on now! as they flooded the comments with reactions.
