Two women, both rising stars on social media, were arrested in Mobile County on June 1 for allegedly trafficking 217 pounds of cocaine worth $2.1 million. Racquelle Dolores Anteola, 34, of Van Nuys, California, and Melissa Dufour, 36, of Miramar, Florida, were detained by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office after a traffic stop on Interstate 10.
The women, known for their presence on Instagram and TikTok, were driving a Ford Expedition, which contained the hidden drugs beneath the vehicle’s floorboards. Authorities reported conflicting stories from the pair, but investigations revealed they were traveling from Houston to Atlanta.
Anteola, who performs under the stage name “Rakhy,” has been gaining attention as a hip-hop artist and has music available on all major streaming platforms. Dufour, known as “melimacbarbie_,” is an influencer who models for various athletic and fashion brands.
Both women have been charged with cocaine trafficking and are currently being held in Mobile Metro Jail with bonds set at $1 million each.
