Now that PPP loans dried up and many are still struggling from the pandemic, the streets are calling influencers and stars like Fetty Wap and they’re apparently picking up.  A thriving fashion or music career can’t compete with fast money, but this isn’t what the City Girls meant when they told the girls to “Act Bad” this summer.

The controversy surrounding the headline-making influencers is even more interesting because Melissa Dufour is an entrepreneur and the owner of an athletic wear brand…

and Racquelle “Rahky” Anteola has worked with big names like Tank, 2 Chainz, and T.I as a singer/songwriter.

 

On Thursday, June 1, Alabama’s Mobile County Sherriff’s Office pulled over the Instabaddies for a traffic stop. The social media stars were reportedly driving on Interstate 10 in Mobile County with some serious weight. WPDE reports the MCSO seized 217 lbs worth of suspected cocaine from the women’s car after they stumbled through an interview that made police suspicious.

“During a roadside interview, both females had conflicting stories of their travel plans. MCSO narcotics K9 was deployed and gave a positive alert to the presence of narcotics,” the sherriff’s office explained.

U.S. Border Patrol arrived on the scene to assist with the investigation and the car reportedly had an elaborate set-up to keep hundreds of pounds of booger sugar out of sight, but the K9 unit sniffed it out.

Authorities reportedly found “several hidden traps” in hollowed-out compartments of the car’s floor and walls.

MCSO arrested Dufour and Anteola and charged them with trafficking cocaine.

“We are sending a clear message — we are looking for those who are trafficking drugs to our area and will do everything in our power to stop you from bringing it here,” said Sheriff Paul Burch according to WPDE. 

The alleged smugglers are more than just pretty faces.

 

With more than 120,000 combined followers on Instagram, the Haitian-American hotties may even look familiar.

 

Find out more about the fashion entrepreneur Melissa Dufour and singer/songwriter Racquelle Anteola after the flip!

Melissa Dufour Is A Fashion Designer And Entrepreneur

Melissa Dufour is the founder and designer behind Sexy Sweats Wear. Dufour, known online as MeliMacBarbie_, describes herself with inspiration from the Beyoncé bar, “A diva… Definition of a female hustla” in her Instagram bio. Jay-Z’s references to moving weight might’ve inspired too much hustler in her.

According to an interview for Modern Fashion, she earned a degree in healthcare administration before pursuing her dreams in fashion.

After a medical scare at 25, Dafour turned to health and fitness to get her life back. She went from enthusiast to entrepreneur, teaching herself everything it took to launch a company that empowers other women. And like another infamous boss, she “built this sh*t brick by brick.”

“Sexy Sweats designs encourage women to be confident and bold by hugging areas of the body that I believe women should shamelessly flaunt instead of shamefully covering up.”

Dufour lives by that mantra, regularly strutting her stuff online and abroad for Carnival.

Earlier this year, Dufour and Anteola turned up together in Trinidad.

Racquelle Anteola Is An R&B Singer/Songwriter Who Worked With Hitmaka, 2 Chainz, Tank, and T.I.

Racquelle Anteola is known for her music as the artist Rahky. Followers may come for the pretty pics, but they stay for the voice and she secured a deal with super producer Hitmaka.

Before she faced a trip to the pen, she made a name with her pen. As a songwriter, Rahky collaborated with some of the biggest names in the business. She has composer credits for projects with Tank, 2 Chainz, YFN Lucci, Quality Control, T.I., Tink, and Jim Jones.

As a singer, one of Rahky’s best-known songs is a feature on “Little Bit” from Eric Bellinger and Hitmaka’s album 1-800-HIT-EAZY. Grungecake compares her soothing vocals to Jhené Aiko and Summer Walker.

New comments on Rahky’s’ Instagram posts are already expressing shock and disbelief that she’s making headlines for major coke busts instead of major music moves.

“Ok too much talent to be in jail. Maybe they drove someone else’s car and didn’t know about the drugs,” a supporter wrote.

“So is the singing and the IG a cover for drug trafficking?? Or is the drug trafficking to support your IG?? Which one is your main job??” another comment wondered.

“All this talent you about to sing in the prison yard. I legit don’t understand why y’all love supporting drug dealers,” a disappointed post said.

This shocking case proves once again that you can’t judge a baddie by their IG.
