2020 TAUGHT RUBI ROSE HOW TO MATURE AND MANIFEST

You all remember the elusive ladies behind the doors in Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” video. Behind one of those open doorways stood Miss Rubi Rose, clad in a ruby red latex bodysuit with matching thigh-high boots. The model and rapper used to refer to herself as an underdog, but baby I’ve never seen an underdog make it look so good! 

Rubi is a native Kentuckian but moved to the East Coast rap capital, Atlanta, when she was in high school. From there, Rubi found success playing it cool on Instagram and appearing in Migos’ 2016 “Bad and Boujee” video. Today, she touts over 2.4 million followers and a wardrobe I can only dream of. She’s even made over $100,000 in just two days with help from her OnlyFans account. 

She might have started as an underdog in Atlanta, but she’s definitely found her way to the top. In the past year alone, Rubi has seen what it’s like to leave behind the underdog status and make a real name for herself in the rap community. Her success really settled in after her breakout 2019 single “Big Mouth” became a viral TikTok track, helping a lot of us to reminisce on getting ready to hit the bars and reminding us just how hot it is to be yourself. 

Most recently, Rubi released her first large project, an eight-track mixtape called “For the Streets” containing features from genre heavy hitters Future and PARTYNEXTDOOR. LADYGUNN had the chance to chat with the model and artist about her goals, dreams, and her past & present successes. Check out the full Q&A down below!

My favorite song off my mixtape for the streets would have to be my intro. It’s personal.
