WATCH: World-famous viral video star reinvents herself as a rapper

Cape Town – You might not know the name Danielle Bregoli but chances are you’ve seen the meme based on the video of her world-famous interview on the Dr Phil talk show in September 2016. 

It was meant to be a transformative moment in the then thirteen-year-old’s tumultuous and often violent life with her mother but instead the chat went viral, when the teen told audience members, to “catch her outside”.

Following that interview and the subsequent memes, GIFs and videos based on it, Danielle had her 15 minutes of fame and share of legal troubles. 

Now she’s back and renamed herself as Bhad Bhabie, a rapper signed to a multi-million-dollar deal with Atlantic Records. She has a ton of streams on her Sound Cloud, millions of views on her YouTube channel and a legion of fans. 

HERE’S ONE OF HER MOST POPULAR SONGS WHICH HAS 65 MILLION VIEWS (THAT’S MORE THAN THE POPULATION OF SOUTH AFRICA):
