The Disobedient Prophet feat. Akbar V

In this episode of Perspektives with Bank , Big Bank reconnects with Atlanta rapper Akbar V for a candid second take after their original conversation became more heated than intended. The two clear the air over past social media comments, a missed booking, and relationships within Atlanta’s entertainment scene before Akbar opens up about the different sides of her personality—Valerie, Akbar, and Joan.

She reflects on growing up between Carver Homes and Cleveland Avenue, navigating her mother’s addiction, entering the streets at a young age, and cycling through jail, group homes, and survival mode. Akbar also addresses how being outspoken has fueled internet backlash and industry tension, while acknowledging that controversy can sometimes overshadow her talent and music career.

The conversation becomes a deeper examination of healing, accountability, faith, and personal growth as Bank challenges Akbar to step away from online conflict, release music consistently, and consider therapy as another tool for moving forward. Akbar discusses forgiveness, fasting, spirituality, marriage struggles, loyalty, and her desire for counseling, while reflecting on public conflicts involving Cardi B and Latto and the realities of navigating relationships in the music industry.

Closing on the future, Akbar shares plans for new music and Blueprint Atlanta , celebrates milestones in her children’s lives, and considers what it will take to move beyond survival, protect her peace, and allow her purpose and artistry to speak louder than the drama.
