More about Young Lyric’s hip-hop career

Lyric’s passion for music was there to see from a very young age. Her talent shone through even when she was just a teenager. Her love for Hip-Hop developed at the age of 7 and she even performed her songs at school. Moreover, she started making her online presence by posting original songs as well as remixes from huge icons, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne. 

Notably, she even participated in an American Reality Television series, The Rap Game. The series which came out back in January 2016, on Lifetime, featured 5 seasons and showcased the art of several talented youngsters when it aired. The kids participating, (ages between 12-17), would go through an eight-week boot camp and would have a shot at winning a record contract. 

One of the talents was Lyric herself. The young artist was just 15 when she made her first appearance on the show. She quickly won the hearts of the fans with her personality, and though she failed to win the competition, her momentum didn’t die down. After the show, she went on to release several mixtapes.

Back in 2019, the artist was allegedly in a relationship with the rapper NBA YoungBoy. The couple had even shared a series of pictures together and could be seen hugging one another. Lyric captioned the post as “NBA YoungGirl.” She received a lot of criticism for this from her fans, who didn’t appear to be happy with the two artists seeing one another. 

However, the couple separated in November 2020 and it appeared that things ended on a bitter note. Prior to this, Lyric was also in a relationship with Diggy Simmons back in 2012, but they went their separate ways in 2014. Back in 2017, there were even rumors of her getting pregnant and undergoing abortion which surfaced on the internet causing a storm among her fans. However, she made it clear that all these rumors were false during an interview with DJ Smallz Eyes 2.
