Deto Black Is Very Online

With just two solo singles under her belt, few artists are as hotly tipped as Lagos-raised rapper Deto Black. Not only has she already collaborated with the likes of Skepta, Unknown T, Lancey Foux, Odunsi (The Engine) and Amaarae, she’s a fashion icon in her own right, serving as a muse to cult designer Mowalola and starring in Theophilus London’s Off-White campaign. 

As she drops new track “Brag” we slide into her DMs to talk Bratz, TikTok and her favourite meme.
