Atlanta Hip-Hop legend Jermaine Dupri and 2 Live Crew’s Luther Campbell are executive producing the doc set to release on Hulu. Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told, will tell the story of the annual spring break festival that transformed a generation and helped Atlanta become a major cultural powerhouse.
Hulu says the film will highlight “the rise and fall of a small Atlanta HBCU picnic that exploded into an influential street party and spotlighted ATL as a major cultural stage.”
Starting as a small picnic near the Atlanta University Center in 1983, to bring HBCU students together, it quickly gained national attention and people from all over the country traveled to participate in the festivities.
Now contrary to popular belief, the “freak” in Freaknik meant freaky as “unusual,” but over the years that it was active the name began to be taken more literally and went in the direction of promoting sexual liberation and promiscuity.
And this is what has got all the aunties shaking in their boots
Afraid of what footage will be shown, the Freaknik aunties are bracing themselves in the event that they're caught in their raunchy glory days. A TikTok user, Tina, has gone viral for saying quite literally what we’re all thinking.
Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told’s release date has not yet been announced.
