Bobbi Althoff wasn’t expecting a philosophy lesson when she asked That Mexican OT about his name. But the Texas rapper delivered one during a recent episode of The Really Good Podcast. The clip spread across social media..
“Let me tell you something about me,” OT said, his voice steady. “The sky will forever be blue, right? The truth don’t change. I’ve come a long way to build who I am today. I’m really Virgil. That Mexican OT isn’t a real person.”
Althoff pressed him for the meaning behind “OT.” His reply was blunt: “I’m just another Mexican out of Texas. That Mexican OT.” When she asked if that’s what the initials stood for, he fired back with a laugh and called her a “jackass,” saying it should’ve been obvious.
The moment, half-serious and half-satirical, highlighted the tension between OT’s raw public persona and his self-perception. He came across as someone using the mic not just to entertain, but to remind listeners he’s more than a name on a flyer.
The interview followed another viral moment earlier this month, when OT appeared at the PBR Rodeo in Fort Worth. Video from the event shows him getting knocked around by a bull, despite efforts from a bullfighter to intervene. It only added to his reputation for unpredictability—and fearlessness.
Meanwhile, his music continues to gain traction. That Mexican OT recently teamed up with Lil Wayne on “Baby Mad at Me,” produced by Bankroll Got It and Chris Townsend. The track blends OT’s regional edge with Wayne’s star power, giving his catalog another shot of momentum.
His conversation with Althoff pulled back the curtain just enough. It showed a man who knows how to play the game but isn’t afraid to break character. In a genre often shaped by image, That Mexican OT keeps rewriting the rules—loud, proud, and entirely on his terms.
That Mexican OT has been busy ahead of the summer with new joint album with Sauce Walka. A video quickly surfaced on social media of OT airing out his issues with Sauce Walka's lack of support in their album.
KATSEYE have officially begun a fresh chapter with the announcement of their forthcoming single, Pinky Up.
The K-pop girl group sparked curiosity online after sharing a string of mysterious posts that quickly had fans trying to piece together the clues.
The first teaser, posted on March 30, featured the Mona Lisa gently raising a hot cup of tea with her pinky finger lifted. The next video, uploaded the next day, showed an arcade claw machine labeled with the group’s name pulling a sword from a mix of sparkling plush toys and a single teacup. Making things even more intriguing, the caption stated: “We’re screaming from cloud nine!!”
Their third update finally revealed the song title along with its cover art. The image showed a figure kneeling on a rug next to a teacup and a toy cat, while the title appeared in bright hot pink text across the visual. The group also confirmed the release date as April 9.
Pinky Up will arrive just one day before KATSEYE appear at Coachella on April 10, which will mark their first time performing at the famous festival.
The single also marks their first comeback since HYBE and Geffen confirmed that member Manon Bannerman would be stepping away for a period of time to prioritize her “health and well being.”
In a message posted on Weverse, they shared: "Hello. After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing."
The group expressed that they “fully support this decision,” and added: “KATSEYE remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. We look forward to being together again when the time is right.”
While she is away, the group will continue promotions with Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza and Yoonchae Jeung.
They closed their message by saying: “Thank you to our EYEKONS for your continued love, patience, and understanding.”
