The R&B singer, known for her smooth vocals and dynamic stage presence, first captured the spotlight as a key member of the American girl group Total, alongside Kima Raynor and Pamela Long. Total really began to make waves when they became part of Sean Combs’ legendary Bad Boy Records roster, a move that helped elevate their music to national acclaim. Before she became widely recognized, the R&B singer and her group made an early mark with a feature on Notorious B.I.G.’s iconic single “Juicy,” which introduced them to a broader audience. The collaboration opened doors, and soon after, he lent his voice to their hit track “Can’t You See?“—a moment that further solidified their place in 90s R&B.
Over the years, the R&B singer has balanced her thriving music career with personal milestones. She tied the knot with actor Omar Epps in 2006, marking a joyful chapter in her life. The couple welcomed their daughter, K’mari Mae, in 2004, and later celebrated the birth of their son, Amir, in 2007. Family remains important to the R&B singer, who also shares a close bond with her sister Aisha. Through ups and downs, the R&B singer has continued to inspire fans with her talent, resilience, and dedication to both her craft and loved ones.
Back in November 2014, she took the stage at the Soul Train Music Awards and delivered a memorable performance of “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix),” sharing the spotlight with big names like Lil Kim. It was definitely one of those standout moments where her presence truly shined. She brought energy, confidence, and style—everything you’d expect from someone who knows how to command an audience. Her contribution to the performance reminded everyone why she continues to be such a respected figure in the industry. She really made that night unforgettable.
