Born to a German father and an African-American mother, Charli was raised mainly by her elder half-sister, Yolanda. After graduating Pierce College and having two daughters, she met the Notorious B.I.G. at a concert in the summer of 1995. He supported her in her rap ambitions, but after his death Charli went into a tailspin. She pulled herself back together in time to attend his funeral, and released her own album, "Ice", and worked on the "Woo" Soundtrack. Show less «
