Tesehki (Latifa Malone)

Who Is Tesehki?

Tesehki was born Latifa Malone in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 22, 1995. “Tesehki” is actually her middle name, which she adopted as a stage name because, in her words, it stands out from the crowd.

She’s best known for two things: her role as a cast member on Baddies, and her relationship with her younger sister, Baddies and Crazy in Love star Chrisean Rock.

Early Life and Family Background

Tesehki grew up in Baltimore as one of 12 siblings — the 8th child in a blended family of seven sisters and four brothers, born to parents Eugene Arthur Malone and Charka (Charla) Malone. By multiple accounts, the household faced real hardship: their father spent much of the children’s early years incarcerated, and the family cycled through periods of instability.

Tesehki has also spoken openly about becoming a mother young. She had her first child, a son, at 17, and her daughter Queen at 18. In a 2024 interview on the Off the Porch podcast, she credited motherhood with giving her life direction, saying her kids gave her a completely new sense of purpose after a period when she had struggled with suicidal thoughts as a young teenager.

As for her romantic life, Tesehki has referenced having a partner in past interviews, though she’s clarified the two were never legally married. In April 2025, she shared on The Jason Lee Show that she had been dating her manager, known as Fresh.

Tesehki’s Reality TV Career: From Baddies East to Baddies USA

Tesehki’s television career began in earnest in 2023, when she appeared in the Baddies East audition process and clashed with judge Natalie Nunn — a confrontation that quickly put her on viewers’ radar. She also made a brief appearance on the Zeus Network series Blueface & Chrisean: Crazy in Love, where an altercation with Chrisean drew early attention to the sisters’ rocky dynamic.

Since then, Tesehki has become a recurring presence across the Baddies franchise, appearing on:

• Baddies East (2023)
• Baddies Caribbean
• Baddies Midwest (premiered November 2024)
• Baddies USA: Chapter One
• Baddies USA: Chapter Two

Her time on the show hasn’t been without conflict. During Baddies East, tension with Chrisean escalated into a physical altercation involving other cast members, though Tesehki also formed lasting friendships on the show, notably with fellow cast member Mariahlynn. In later seasons, she’s been involved in additional cast conflicts, including feuds with castmates Summer, Amber Ali, and Ciroc.

Tesehki’s Music Career

Alongside reality TV, Tesehki has pursued music as an R&B and rap artist. Her catalog includes tracks like “Real As Me,” “Thinking Bout You,” and “I EATSS” — the latter a nod to her reputation for physical confrontation, which has racked up hundreds of thousands of YouTube views. She’s also performed live on the Baddies tour, where her stage presence has drawn comparisons to her sister’s.

The Feud With Chrisean Rock

The relationship between Tesehki and Chrisean Rock has become one of the more closely followed sibling storylines in reality TV. The two have accused each other of serious wrongdoing on camera, most notably during Baddies: Midwest, when Chrisean alleged that Tesehki had placed her in an inappropriate situation as a child. Tesehki has firmly denied the allegations, telling her social media followers that the accusations were deeply painful, and pointing to older family videos and past joint interviews as evidence supporting her account. Chrisean has since referenced other recorded conversations she says support her version of events.

The two sisters have suggested the strain in their relationship intensified after Chrisean’s relationship with rapper Blueface began. Tesehki has said she believes Blueface’s influence changed her sister’s behavior, and that their mother has struggled watching the conflict play out.

Despite the public friction, both sisters have continued to appear together on Baddies, and fans continue to watch the relationship evolve in real time across new episodes and social media.

Where Is Tesehki Now?

As of the most recent Baddies seasons, Tesehki remains an active cast member on the franchise and continues to build her music catalog. She resides in Baltimore, Maryland, and stays vocal on social media, where she regularly addresses both her career and her ongoing relationship with her sister.
