Atlanta rapper Akbar V erupted in a fiery, unscripted rant during a live stream on Nine Mag TV, unleashing a torrent of accusations and grievances aimed at fellow artists Latto, Cardi B, and Atlanta radio personality Big Bank, while also addressing a tense and fractured relationship with rapper Rugs. The emotional and unfiltered monologue, which lasted for several minutes, laid bare a simmering feud that has been brewing beneath the surface of the hip-hop community, with Akbar V insisting she has been unfairly targeted and ostracized by those she once considered allies. The outburst began with Akbar V directly confronting what she perceives as a conspiracy of silence and betrayal, specifically calling out Latto for allowing Cardi B to diss her on a song without intervening. Akbar V claimed that she and Latto had no prior issues, but that Latto is now angry over a situation that predates her career, and she vowed to release text messages to prove their former friendship. She questioned who in Atlanta had the courage to tell Latto she was wrong for permitting the diss, accusing the city of being complicit in a culture of 𝒻𝒶𝓀𝑒 loyalty and selective outrage.
The rapper’s voice cracked with frustration as she declared, “I ain’t never had no problem with Lotto. Lotto mad at me about some that I can’t control what a DO AND IT WAS WAY BEFORE HER TIME.” She insisted that if Latto were truly her friend, she would have stopped Cardi B from recording the diss verse, asserting that a real Atlanta artist would have demanded a redo. Akbar V then turned her ire toward Big Bank, the well-known Atlanta radio host, accusing him of hypocrisy for granting an interview to controversial rapper 6ix9ine while ignoring her requests for a platform. She claimed that her team had reached out to Big Bank but was met with silence, and she interpreted his decision to sit down with 6ix9ine as a betrayal of the city’s supposed unity. “I said and then me just just speaking my mind. Right. I’m like, how the hell Bank go do a interview with 6ix9ine and and and and you ain’t do one with me, but then the politics in the city,” she fumed, her words tumbling out in a raw stream of consciousness.
Akbar V did not stop there, as she also addressed her ongoing conflict with Rugs, accusing him of acting as if she had committed a grave offense against him. She recounted a past incident involving Lyric Galore, where she sent people to confront the artist after feeling disrespected, and she claimed that Rugs is now holding a grudge over that altercation. She reminded viewers that she had previously packed out Rugs’ venue, SL, to show support, but now feels that loyalty is not being reciprocated. “He act like I done goddamn did something. He act like I done stole something from him,” she said, her tone shifting between anger and disbelief. She challenged Rugs to specify what she had done wrong, insisting that she has always been a real person who speaks her mind, even if it makes her unpopular.
The rapper’s diatribe also touched on her respect for Future, whom she praised as the “realest in this city” for his consistent and non-partisan behavior. She contrasted his integrity with the perceived fakeness of others, including those who have picked sides in her beef with Savage. Akbar V vehemently denied that she initiated the conflict with Savage, claiming that Savage dissed her on records first, yet no one in the industry called out Savage for it. “Which one of y’all street call and make the call and said, ‘Hey, WHY Y’ALL DISS AKBAR? WHY YOU LET HER DISS AKBAR?’” she demanded, her voice rising with indignation. She argued that the industry’s selective outrage is a clear sign of bias against her because she is not “likable,” and she proudly declared that she would rather be real than 𝒻𝒶𝓀𝑒.
Throughout the rant, Akbar V repeatedly emphasized that she has receipts and evidence to back up every claim she made, including text messages with Latto and documentation of past meeting offers from record labels. She challenged her detractors to pull up old Twitter threads where Cardi B allegedly dissed her, noting that the fan base went into “shambles” at the time. She also addressed rumors that she is jealous of Latto’s success, dismissing them by stating that she turned down a record deal that Latto later accepted, proving that she is not motivated by envy. “What the [ __ ] I got to hate for when I’m a talented. I DON’T CARE. I CAN SHOW Y’ALL WHEN THEY SIGN LOTTO. THEY WANTED to sign me,” she declared, her confidence unwavering.
The emotional climax of the monologue came when Akbar V addressed her loyalty to rapper Young Thug, who is currently incarcerated. She revealed that she has argued with her own family over her support for him, and she accused others of forgetting their shared history. “Thug went to jail. I’m arguing with my own family about him. I’m arguing with my own family about him. This on here sexy. Do you think this EVER POSTED MY RECORD? BUT I’M THE IN THE COMMENTS. I’M ARGUING with everything cuz we come WE COME FROM THE BOTTOM TOGETHER,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion. She accused those who have turned their backs on her of being “lame” and of picking sides only when it benefits them, while she has consistently shown up for them.
As the live stream drew to a close, Akbar V issued a final ultimatum to Big Bank and Rugs, stating that she is done with them and that it is now “me against whoever.” She declared that she will no longer play nice and that she is ready to fight for her reputation and her career. “That’s on my mama. SHE COME OUT THAT GRAVE SITE, BRO. Cuz I’m telling y’all at THE END OF THE MOTHER DAY, I AIN’T WRONG,” she shouted, her words echoing with a sense of finality. The video has since gone 𝓿𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓁, sparking intense debate among fans and industry insiders about the validity of her claims and the state of loyalty in the hip-hop community. Akbar V, known for her unfiltered and confrontational style, has once again positioned herself as a polarizing figure who refuses to be silenced, even if it means standing alone against the machine.
