Instagram influencers nabbed with 216 pounds of cocaine: feds
2023-06-12
[NYPOST] A pair of Instagram influencers were caught with $3 million in cocaine packed into secret compartments of their SUV as they drove through Alabama earlier this month, authorities said.

Racquelle Marie Dolores Anteola, a singer and rapper who goes by the name Rahky on Instagram, where she has 118,000 followers, and fitness entrepreneur Melissa Dufour, who peddles a clothing line called Sexy Sweats to her more than 10,000 fans, face a minimum 10 years behind bars on federal drug trafficking charges after their June 1 arrests.

Anteola and Dufour claimed they met up in Miami and then drove together to Houston for a house party where they got "very drunk," before heading to Atlanta, according to court papers.

They were pulled over on Interstate 110 near Mobile, Ala., for a traffic violation when a K-9 indicated drugs might be in their vehicle, according to court papers.

Cops combed through the Black Ford Expedition allegedly found several hidden compartments concealing 216 pounds of cocaine packed in 84 bundles, authorities said.

#10  Before they monetized likes and follows for blow. Going forward they can influence their new community for smokes and fruit cups. They have a skill set that travels.

It is still early. Assuming the charges do not get plea-bargained away, the perps get a pass because it is racist to send black people to prison, or the evidence mysteriously evaporates. Hey, it's not my fault. Rantburg has made me cynical and jaded.

#5  Ref #3: Federal beef....

The Justice Department would never knowingly inhibit a Biden Crime Family product line.

#4  Somehow, after viewing their mugshots, having extreme difficulty trying to align them with any sort of vision of what ‘Sexy
Sweats’ might be; kevlar reinforced face bag excluded.
Wont say they arent attractive, but either one could make a freight train take a dirt road.

#3  I would have thought the weight and the interstate aspects would make this a federal beef. But the feds are kinda busy these days...

#2  Growing old in the Alabama penal system sounds like a possible outcome.
Please make suitable long-term accommodations available.

#1  Just turning their lives around...

Seriously - what f'n morons. Make the trip to Atlanta, finish business, then go get f'd up in Houston. The inability to learn from Mob movies continues to amaze me.
