HNHH PREMIERE: Arabian releases new video "Respect" from her debut EP.

Last month, Arabian made her musical debut with The Story, showing off her talents on the microphone and keeping the viral attention that she gained after creating some controversy with a new tattoo. Arabian first made headlines after getting a tattoo of NBA YoungBoy's face on her chest, leading the rapper to comment on the post and deny that they were an item. In an exclusive HNHH premiere, Arabian has released the visuals for "Respect" and explained her connection to YoungBoy.

The 20-year-old Louisiana singer first met YoungBoy Never Broke Again in 2017, linking up with the rapper in Dallas. Arabian insists that she's not in a romantic relationship with the Baton Rouge product, noting that she simply respects the hell out of him. "That’s big slime," said the singer about NBA YoungBoy. "Someone I love nothing more nothing less!"

As for why she got his face inked onto her chest, Arabian says that it signifies a way of life for her. "My tattoo symbolizes loyalty, love, trust and pain," she said. "I’m 4KT for life it’s in my blood! It’s a way of life." At this point, she's still completely satisfied with the tattoo, knowing full well that people will continue to critique her because of it. Her focus remains solely on her music and promoting her debut EP The Story.

"Respect" appears on the tracklist for The Story, showcasing Arabian's voice while she struts through a colourfully-lit video. What do you think of her new video?
