Prior to becoming one of the hottest female rappers in hip-hop, Sexyy Red was a hairstylist in her hometown of St. Louis, simply known by her given name Janae Wherry. Photos recently surfaced of the "Slut Me Out" rapper before the stardom. The old pics have ignited a debate amongst her fans about whether the Sexxy Red looks better now that she's a famous, sex-positive recording artist with a net worth of about half a million dollars or when she was better known by locals around her neighborhood as Janae.
