*Da Brat may be in her early 50’s but the rapper has a slew of achievements under her belt in the hip-hop sphere. All while staying true to herself and how she handles her business.
Rap icon with the first solo female rap album to go platinum (1994’s “Funkdafied”), reality show fixture (“Growing up Hip Hop: Atlanta,” “Brat Loves Judy”), hip-hop collaborator with the genre’s finest (Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott,Tyrese, The Notorious B.I.G., and Jermaine Dupri). These are a few of the jobs Da Brat has been known as, in addition to her time on the airwaves as a co-host of “Dish Nation.”
Fans know her bold attitude, signature braids and talent to go toe to toe with any MC, but, believe it or not there are five thigs the casual Brat supporter may not have discovered about the So-So Def artist.
Amid celebrating the Da Brat’s 51st birthday, which arrived on April 14, LoveBScott revealed five fun facts that will leave you proud to be a fan of the “What’chu Like” entertainer, no matter how you enjoy her.
Check it out:
1. She Has a full Michael Jackson tattoo.
Da Brat’s love for Michael Jackson runs deep! So deep that she has a full tattoo of him on her calf. The ink is a tribute to the King of Pop, whose music and artistry have inspired her throughout her life. Da Brat’s “Give It 2 You“ music video sampled audio from the late icon’s “Smooth Criminal.”
2. Kris Kross discovered the star.
Before hitting the big time, Da Brat caught a lucky break when Kris Kross discovered her in Chicago. The duo, known for their hit “Jump,“ introduced her to producer Jermaine Dupri. Initially, he was hesitant to commit to her.
“I didn’t want no female rapper,“ Dupri recalled in an interview with Complex. “But I thought…what does she do that made them want me to look at her? So I at least decided to give it a listen.“
He saw her potential and helped launch her career. That moment changed everything, leading to her success in hip-hop.
3. She played seven instruments.
Da Brat has always loved music. She played seven different instruments in school and even filled in when a section missed a player.
That solid musical foundation helped shape her sound and stage presence, making her an all-around entertainer.
4. Her baby’s hair comes first.
Da Brat will not do her own hair until her baby, True Legend’s, hair is done. Motherhood has become a top priority, and making sure her little one looks fresh is just part of the routine. It’s a small but sweet example of her dedication as a mom.
5. Michael Jordan is her favorite athlete.
Da Brat is a Chicago native, so it’s no surprise that her favorite athlete is Michael Jordan. The six-time NBA champion is widely regarded as the greatest of all time, and she has been a loyal fan since his Bulls days.
Da Brat has never been one to follow the crowd. She set records in hip-hop and carved out a space in television on her own terms, which is why we love her. With these fun facts about Da Brat, you won’t be able to help but stan!
