‘That’s BISHOP LATTO’: Fans Think Mulatto and ‘RHOP’ Star Gizelle Bryant Look Alike

A viral tweet has fans comparing rapper Mulatto and “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Gizelle Bryant for their similar appearances.

One social media star jokingly captioned a photo of Bryant “BIG LATTO,” in reference to the 21-year-old rapper’s other stage name.

The “RHOP” star, 50, was crouched down and throwing up a peace sign in the Dec. 2 tweet that has since garnered over 60,000 likes.

Jackée Harry commented, “That’s a real a–, rich a– b—h from da souf!” in reference to Mulatto’s hit song “B—h From Da Souf.”

Actress Skai Jackson said, “I’ve been saying for the longest time that Mulatto and Giselle look so much alike 😭.”

Fans continued to point out the resemblance between the “Muwop” rapper and reality star who was formally married to and now is in a relationship with megachurch pastor Jamal Bryant.

“That’s BISHOP LATTO.”

“Mulatto looks more like Gizelle than Gizelle’s own daughters #RHOP.”

“NOOoO LMAOOO THIS SHOULD NOT BE THIS FUNNY AND ACUARATE AT THE SAME TIMEE. I see no difference.”

Bryant first shared the now viral photo on Instagram on Nov. 8.

“Inspired by #ChatRoom it’s #ThotSquatSunday@bravotv,” she captioned the photo.

In addition to the comparisons with rapper Mulatto, some commenters took digs at Bryant’s wardrobe in the picture, echoing remarks made by “RHOP” star Karen Huger who’s repeatedly made fun of her co-star’s style.

On one episode of season five of the Bravo show, Huger, 57, said in a confessional, “Thank God Gizelle is a good looking woman because got d–n she can’t dress at all! I’m ashamed to be seen with her sometimes to be honest, I don’t know what she’s gonna wear. I get a headache talking about Gizelle’s clothes. Do you have an Excedrin or a Tylenol?”

Bryant later addressed the insult on the “Chat Room” podcast.

“I’m sick of reading Karen, it just comes too easy. But as far as I’m concerned, like clearly she’s very happy that I exist because I’m all she talks about,” the mother of three said. “And I have actually seen Karen’s closet and nothing in there is legitimate as in authentic, as in real, so I’m cool. I’m cool with her talking about my clothes ’cause I know what’s really going on with Karen.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
