Sexyy Red burst onto the scene in 2022 with her breakout single "Pound Town." She began making music in 2019.

Social media is buzzing over a viral doppelgänger who looks almost identical to rising rap star Sexyy Red. The uncanny resemblance has fans across Instagram and TikTok doing double takes, sparking a flurry of reactions, reposts, and side-by-side comparisons. The Shade Room shared a video of a woman named @axmonae, capturing immediate attention. In the selfie clip, @axmonae raps confidently while wearing long, sleek hair and thick-framed black glasses — a signature look that fans quickly associated with Sexyy Red. The hairstyle, the attitude, even the camera angle — all of it felt strikingly familiar. Soon after, TSR posted a split-screen video showing @axmonae next to the “SkeeYee” rapper, and the similarities were undeniable. From facial structure to style, viewers couldn’t believe their eyes.

Within hours, @axmonae’s Instagram page lit up with comments, jokes, and questions. Some followers were simply amazed, others amused, but nearly everyone agreed: she looks just like Sexyy Red. One user, @thaats.drea, summed up the confusion perfectly, writing, “I stared for 30 seconds tryna find the look alike… I thought it was two videos of her.” Another user, @slay.omii, added, “Put her in a wig & I wouldn’t tell the difference.” Meanwhile, @omgitsimari_ questioned the science behind the resemblance, posting, “Genetics soooo weird. Like how can two complete strangers look SO much alike?”

The comments kept coming. @girlimjustsayin tagged Sexyy Red and joked, “Call ya parents right now, they got some explaining to do.” User @ceomattyj chimed in with a playful challenge: “Tell her to say ‘SkeeYee’ so we know it’s real.” Others went a step further, suggesting @axmonae should consider working as Red’s double. “What’s your hosting fee, boo?” asked @thetrapbarb. And @thejourdanchataun declared, “She needs to be hired as a body double!!!”

This isn’t the first time someone’s gone viral for resembling Sexyy Red. In March, another woman, @luccckydaone, posted a few photos on X (formerly Twitter) that left the rapper herself stunned. Sexyy Red reposted the pictures, captioning them, “Wait ah damn minute.” The fan playfully responded, “Hiiiiii sisssterrr,” adding a pair of kiss emojis. Fans are now debating whether there’s something in the water — or if the universe is cloning internet personalities for sport. Either way, @axmonae’s unexpected rise as a near-identical lookalike is a testament to how fast digital fame can materialize when personality, timing, and uncanny resemblance collide.
