Queen Latifah Didn’t Get Arrested—But This Rapper’s Viral Mugshot Convinced Fans Otherwise
One of Queen Latifah‘s most well-known and beloved characters was resurrected, following the release of a female rapper’s viral mugshot.
According to multiple reports, Chicago rapper Blasian Doll was recently arrested on gun and theft charges and, at one point, was reportedly being held without bond. While she’s been in and out of the headlines throughout the past month due to the alleged sex tape leak and rumors swirling about Tay Savage being involved in the murder of her mother, Blasian has gone viral again for bearing a resemblance to Latifah in her latest booking photo. More specifically, users on Instagram couldn’t seem to get over how closely Blasian resembled Queen Latifah’s Cleo character from the film Set It Off.
”Soon as she release she should drop a song called Cleo flow,” a user remarked in the comments section of the mug shot post.

Another user commented “Free Cleo,” stamped with a crying laughing emoji, which was followed by a user who remarked, “She doesn’t even look like Queen Latifah.”
It appears the dead giveaway here was Blasian’s neat cornrows, which appear almost identical to the braids Cleo rocked in the movie. Not to mention, the mugshot is almost the spitting image of the notorious mugshot scene from Set It Off in which Cleo infamously mugs the camera.
Multiple social media users shared their theories about Blasian’s appearance, with one YouTube creator even suggesting she may have been on her way to get a wig or took it off before taking the photo.
