Upbringing

She is often referred to as Kimbella, Kimberly or simply Kim. According to some sources, her parents were not exactly ideal role models. Her father was abusive and her mother was mostly the victim. Tough backgrounds lead to tough people, so Kim tried to be forgiving of her parents she got older. Kim is mixed race because her father is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans">African-American</a> and her mother is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race">Caucasian</a>. One of her sisters is also in the entertainment industry and is a DJ called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil'_Kim">Lil Kim</a>.

Education

Kim has a Master’s Degree which may be a shock to many of her fans. A lot of people know the beauty from her model and television career so they assume that she is not very bright.

She went to college and went for a Master’s degree while working at the same time. She spent many years in the pharmacy industry but people question her on her previous employment. She doesn’t mind the questions though because she understands what comes at the cost of fame.

When asked why she left her professional career to continue as a model she said that she always liked cameras and felt really comfortable behind them. She also enjoys the financial part of being an entertainer because it allows her to make much more money than her previous job.

Coming from a tough background, modeling and being in TV star was a huge accomplishment for her.

Career Experience

She began modeling in 2003 in the city of Miami. She got her first TV role as a dancer on the series The Roof in 2004. She liked the fact that she was playing herself and not a fictional character. In her modeling career, she was very successful because of her striking beauty. She earned the privilege of appearing on the cover of Black Men’s magazines and some other publications because of her pretty African looks.

Her career really took off when she was included in the second season of the American reality show Love & Hip-Hop: New York on VH1 in 2001. She was introduced as the girlfriend of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juelz_Santana">Juelz Santana</a> who is a famous rapper.

The series is still on air and she is one of most popular stars. She was featured a lot in seasons 3 and 5. In season 7, she returned as a main member of the cast.

TV Show Scandal

One of the biggest scandals on the series Love & Hip-Hop: New York that involved Kim was during season 7 when she engaged in a physical fight with two other members of the <a href="/biography/erica-mena">cast</a>, <a href="/biography/erica-mena">Erica Mena</a> and Chrissy Lampkin. The scandal even reached social media with some pictures showing the women on the floor, basically wrestling each other with other members on the show trying to control the situation. The trigger of this conflict was a possible affair between Kim and the former boyfriend of <a href="/biography/erica-mena">Erica</a>. This has negatively impacted the image of Kim, who is not used to these kind of accusations. She has tried to put it past her so that she could move on to the rest of her career

Dating a Rapper

In 2011, Kimbella started dating the rapper <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juelz_Santana">Juelz Santana</a>, with whom she has three children. They have two sons and a daughter. They are not married and her relationship has been under the public eye for years. Their constant fights and the accusation that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juelz_Santana">Juelz</a> was cheating on her have been major scandals for them. On Season 7, several interviews revealed some tension between them on their reality show. To promote the show, the producers promised some “behind the scenes drama” in their marketing videos.

They have also been engaged in several Twitter fights and even went through a break-up once, although they got back together. It is not clear if the couple will ever end their relationship completely or continue with it. Maybe one day she will be able to refer to him as her husband.

Plastic Surgery

Another main controversy surrounding her personal life is related to her major physical changes due to plastic surgery. Although exercise is a must in her life, as seen on her social media, it is impossible to hide the fact that some of her noticeable changes have been acquired by surgery. No record of her doctors have been published so people are left to speculate which parts of her body are fake or natural.

She has now reached over 1.2 million Instagram followers which is pretty amazing for her. She also has many Twitter followers, who are able to keep track of what’s she’s doing and what’s she’s into.

She understands the impact of social media and how much it can expand her brand. She knows that the market and the audience is every person with a smartphone which means just about everyone. She tries to keep her followers engaged with interesting videos and comments. She knows that most of her followers are men so she always tries to post sexy pictures of herself to gain more followers. She also knows that some of her fans are women who want to replicate her body. She will share fitness tips with fans so that they could can try to follow her routine. She will also post dieting tips so that her fans can take a look of what she eats to stay fit.
