Who is Tesehki from Baddies Midwest
Latifa Malone, better known as Tesehki, was born on May 22, 1995, making her a 29-year-old Gemini from Baltimore, Maryland. She first joined the show’s franchise during the Baddies East Auditions, where she made headlines after clashing with Natalie Nunn, one of the show’s head judges.

Her music video for Real As Me has surpassed 200,000 views on YouTube, further fueling her popularity.
Besides being a cast member, Tesehki has made some cameo appearances on the Zeus Network. On one show called Crazy in Love, she made a brief appearance that got her into trouble with her sister and fellow cast member Chrisean Rock. To date, her family life and relationships with other cast members have formed much of her show character.
Journey to Baddies Midwest
During her time on Baddies East, Tesehki was embroiled in a feud with Chrisean Rock, leading to confrontations that escalated during the season. These conflicts culminated in Tesehki being attacked by her friends, Marsh and Janet, highlighting the tumultuous relationships within the cast.
Throughout the season, she formed a close friendship with fellow cast member Mariahlynn, which provided a sense of support amid the chaos. Tesehki primarily resided in House B alongside cast members Sky, Camilla, Ahna, Tee, Smiley, and Biggie.
The interactions in the house contributed to her evolving role in the series. At the show’s reunion, Tesehki’s tensions with Scarface led to multiple altercations, further solidifying her reputation for being involved in dramatic moments.
After her appearance in the previous season, Tesehki moved to Baddies Caribbean, where she continued to deal with complicated relationships. This season, she started a fight with Jelly Bean after an incident while filming Bad vs. Wild. The tensions arrived because Jelly Bean was closer to Tesehki’s boyfriend. This conflict played out before cameras and continued through the season, with Tesehki building friendships with Ahna and Biggie.
The other memorable event for Tesehki was the show reunion. The online clashes between Tesehki and Diamond led to a fight. Conflicts and relationships between the people of this season continued to mark Tesehki’s role as dynamic and full of controversy.
Tesehki went far beyond being a contestant to join the show’s franchise. She took part in being a judge of auditions for Baddies Caribbean, which further gave her some authority within the franchise. She could guide new participants and give them what they needed to become an important part of the casting process.
Additionally, Tesehki continued her role as a judge for the auditions of Baddies Midwest and the spin-off series Gone Wild. Her experience on the show and her interactions with cast members have made her a familiar face for fans, marking her evolution in Baddies Midwest.
