On July 8, during the Season 13 return of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, rapper and reality star Rasheeda took to a mic outside her Pressed boutique. She delivered a brief but striking freestyle. “Yo, this a light day — it’s light work,” she rapped. “And y’all can pop y’all s**t, ’cause I ain’t leaving Kirk.”
The moment instantly caught fire online. Clips from The Shade Room and Hot 100.9 circulated widely, prompting heated reactions on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). According to Hot 100.9, the freestyle “seemed lighthearted until she ended with the line that set the internet off.”
Fans Weigh In: From Roasts to Support
Online commentary ranged from sharp criticism to wholehearted praise. Instagram user @anaya.t quipped, “Since you won’t leave Kirk, leave the studio. Immediately.” Another, @juicyykatour, wrote, “Girl, we don’t GAF… the US is in shambles.”
Some accused her of tone-deafness. One user asked, “Who wrote this song for you, Kirk?” Others pleaded, “Rasheeda please leave us alone with this nonsense.”
Yet Rasheeda had its champions. When her husband Kirk Frost weighed in, he left a sweet remark: “Yeah You Hot 😍😍😍🥰🔥🔥🫶🏽🫶🏽.” X’s Vibe Magazine echoed this support, noting: “Rasheeda is riding with husband Kirk Frost until the wheels fall off.”
Loyalty on Display
This isn’t the first time Rasheeda has publicly defended her marriage. The couple, married since 1999, have shared many personal struggles on TV. Her loyalty has long divided fans—some admire her strength, others criticize her choice to stay despite reported marital ups and downs.
Vibe Magazine praised her devotion, stating she “proudly declares she’ll never leave husband Kirk Frost in new freestyle.” While some viewers view it as empowering, others see it as tone-deaf, given recent global crises.
Bold Moves: Image and Intention
Rasheeda’s freestyle came hot on the heels of a notable style shift. In June, she sported jumbo twists and gray boho waves, a look that also sparked debate online. The hairstyle generated “mixed reactions,” she revealed. Now, her words are grabbing even more attention.
In her verse, she projects confidence and unwavering choice. The clip captures a star who knows how to dominate headlines—no matter what she says.
