Congrats to Rico Nasty, who signed a new deal with Atlantic Records. She also announced her upcoming mixtape Nasty, which is due out on June 15.
In a Vibe interview, Ms. Nasty talked about her career as well as some personal issues, like her father and being a parent herself.
"I used to think that he played a very big role [in my career] because he was a rapper. But as I get older, I realized that he was just my dad," shared Rico.
"I've been Rico since 10th grade, she adds. And a lot of shit comes with being Rico. Her life is a lot different than Maria's. Maria was afraid of everything. Like, afraid of the dumbest shit. Like Roller coasters."
Rico Nasty was born as Maria Kelly. She posted on her Instagram yesterday, "Oh and this happened . Me and cam are very happy . I signed to @atlanticrecords Thankful for my ENTIRE team . Thankful for all my fans ❤️ only up from here guys."
Vibe reports that this Maryland native "got her start writing poetry before venturing off into raps." "iCarly" was the first hit that got her national attention, followed by "Iggady [Remix]," and "Hey Arnold," featuring Lil Yachty.
