Mulatto Is Done With The Colorist Allegations, Confirms Name Change Is In The Works (Exclusive Video)

Mulatto Is Done With The Colorist Allegations, Confirms Name Change Is In The Works (Exclusive Video)

Mulatto is a rising star and continues to soar but could rumors and her controversial stage name be what’s stopping her from becoming a household name?

Regardless of her undeniable talent, Mulatto seems to be aware that past allegations and the historic meaning behind her name can be damaging to her brand.

She stepped into The Shade Room, fresh from her extravagant “Casino Royale” 22nd birthday party, to talk to us about her career and her money making moves for 2021.

When asked about any common misconceptions about Mulatto that she’d like to leave in 2020, she flat out replied, “Oh, I know! That I’m a f***ing colorist! When I don’t even give a f**k about none of that s**t. I don’t give a f**k about none of that s**t, like ‘bruh.’” 

It’s a rumor that just won’t go away for Big Latto. Even when things die down, somehow the flame gets lit again. Like just recently, Mulatto found herself on the defense following a discussion that took place on the new social media app Clubhouse, where people alleged that they heard her deny the existence of colorism.

When interviewing with The Shade Room, she continued to deny any ties to herself being a colorist but acknowledged that “the Internet gon’ do what they do,” and that she had to take some action on the backend to further prevent the fueling of those rumors.

One of those things just might be changing her stage name.

“They talking about the name change and stuff like that to also dead it on my end ‘cause I feel like that kind of contributes to that,” Mulatto said.

As we previously reported, Mulatto was considering changing her stage name because of its racist history. While by definition “Mulatto” means a mixed-race person, it was initially the term for mixed-race babies who were the product of rape during the slavery era, which actually derrived from the word used to define hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey.

While Mulatto certainly has her supporters who are against a name change, she confirmed with us that the process of changing her staged name is in the works.

“It’s still in the works,” Mulatto said. “People gotta understand too that this level in (an) artist’s career, that’s not just something that just happens over night. Or it’s not something that even happens, period, because it’s so much like money and investments on the line when you do s**t like that, so I think people need to be more patient…but it’s definitely in the works.”

We’ll have to see how a name change can affect her at this stage in the game. After all, would a Mulatto by any other name rhyme so sweet? We’ll get back to you on that.
