Akbar decided to share her opinion on the matter and things went left quickly as DaniLeigh apparently wasn’t going down without a fight.
DaniLeigh has been a frequent presence in the headlines recently, and more often than not for some generally disagreeable behavior making her the internet’s latest favorite punching bag. Most notoriously, she came under fire at the top of the year after she previewed a new track “Yellow Bone,” with many accusing her of colorism. She’s since issued various half-assed apologies, but it seems like people aren’t done with any of them. As she continues to attempt some damage control, the “Easy” artist ran into more backlash after she claimed to be of considerable West African descent.
Never afraid to chime in on matters whether they directly involve her or not, rapper Akbar V took to Twitter to express her feelings and opinions about DaniLeigh. She wrote, “Also @DaniLeigh I want to tell you baby you are not black no matter how many black wigs u let them put on you baby just be yourself damn and keep making vibe songs for us ….no matter how many black penis u fuck u are not black ok thank u ms yellow world.”
Shortly after in response, DaniLeigh strapped up her petty boots and wrote, “Fasho… keep making music I’ll never hear.” This obvious didn’t sit too well with Akbar even though she technically started. She wrote, “I’m more talented than u only thing is u sign I’m not now let’s talk bout them 360s u in see the difference between me and u I’ll literally beat ur racist ass and not have no remorse I’m not meme ho although she will beat u too.” DaniLeigh came with a clap back instantly, “I’m not even in a 360 deal dumb ass why u talking like u know me??? U don’t.”

But it didn’t end there, Akbar had time, she continued taunting DaniLeigh, “B*tch don’t get besides yourself u a one hit wonder oops u didn’t even go platinum do u want to fight though.” However, Dani had time too, she tweeted back, “My love I got a double-platinum, platinum, gold, a number one written song .. do ur research before u come talking bout shit U don’t know! Why would I wanna fight? Ima grown ass woman.”

But wait THERE’S MORE: the drama continued as Akbar started commenting on DaniLeighs appearance, she wrote, “Cause u are sad case u would never be kehlani big bird looking bitch that’s why u call yourself yellow bone.” DaniLeigh continued to keep her composure by responding, “Lol I don’t wanna be anyone but myself … stay in the studio vs being nosy and maybe you will catch one! Have a great day.”

Akbar was not trying to ease up off Danileigh, she had more to say, with clap backs coming left and right. She said, “First y’all steal our men, steal our wigs, steal our swag before you no it y’all done stole our culture @DaniLeigh now i ask u again do we have a problem ms. Yellowbone cause bitch ain’t nobody listening to u baby u would never be herr, kehlani, Ella mae or even close.”
Eventually, Akbar gave a sarcastic apology, tweeting, “We proud of u fir going platinum but bitch u still nit black @DaniLeigh now iiiiiiii hi nananny booo boo.” After DaniLeigh gave props to Akbar and said that she was proud of her album, Akbar went all the way left, tweeting, “Thank u Suh now like i said i want u to stop color shaming cause i really wasn’t being funny u started the sing then started with i don’t give a fuck altitude we are really black my black women go threw enough for u to make fun of it or a nonchalant altitude so i want u to stop.”
DaniLeigh replied, “I never intended to make fun of anyone… as artist people will take ur words and interpret them how they want .. I now know .. yellow bone is what he want .. wasn’t the right thing to say.. but I wasn’t saying it to shame someone .. especially they color.”
Honestly, it’s hard to feel bad for Dani after that whole yellow bone fiasco, but I do struggle to figure out why Akbar seemed to be taking this whole thing so personally and ultimately Dani-yellow did have every right to respond to Akbar’s very public trolling.
