She grew up with her mother and 2 brothers, in a house in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, New York.

She described her brother Anton as the laid-back guy, while the other, Gavin, known as Pretty Boy, was more aggressive towards pushing it in the music industry. He was arrested in 2010 after he purchased $7500 worth of clothing with a fake credit card, and it went through.

Her family lived a few blocks away from The Notorious B.I.G. and his family.

In 2004, she assaulted 2 manicurists after she didn’t pay the bill of $20 for the service. She was arrested and in a trial in September 2007, sentenced to 1 year in jail for violating the probation in 2004. She was released on April 18, 2008.
