In November 2020, she received traction with the popularity of her track "Do a Bitch" on the social media platform TikTok.^[2] In 2021, she released her debut mixtape This Why They Mad Now with a remix of her breakthrough song "Do a Bitch" with American rapper Rico Nasty.^[3] In November 2021, she released the remix to her song "MMM MMM" with American rappers Latto and Moneybagg Yo.^[6] In February 2022, she went on tour alongside rappers Latto, Saucy Santana, and Asianae.^[7] On March 8, 2022, she released her single "Standards" in the occasion of the International Women's Day.^[8] Also in March 2022, she released her second mixtape Toxic Chocolate with appearances from Latto, Yung Bleu, Moneybagg Yo, Muni Long, Bia, and ATL Jacob.^[9] In June 2022, she was selected as part of the 2022 XXL Freshman Class.^[10]
