It seems that Georgia rapper Mulatto is known just as much for her music as she is for her controversial name, which describes a person who's mixed with black and white.

Last month Mulatto told HipHopDX that she was growing tired of the backlash over her name. She spoke about that again in a newly released interview.

"The older I get, you know, just the state of the world right now with Donald Trump being the President— well not for long but him being the President— police brutality, just reaching a point where the world is fed up. I was out on the frontline marching for victims of police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement as a whole," Mulatto told HotNewHipHop.

"To me, you get to a point where [the name] is not worth it anymore," she added. "I don't know. Your intention is kind of being misinterpreted ...  I don't know my final decision yet, but I'm definitely at the drawing board right now for sure ... As an artist that’s this established so far— and I've been doing this for so long—they don't know how big of a step it is to even be considering it. That's me really being like, 'F**k all this money that's invested on my end, my label’s end, I’m about to switch this whole sh*t up.'"

Do you think Mulatto is making the right move ?
