Get familiar with Sukihana and her incredible rise to fame.

Sukihana’s journey to fame has been one of controversy and virality. Over the years, Sukihana elevated her online presence into a role on Love & Hip-Hop: Miami and prominence in the current landscape of women in hip-hop. A personality who represents sexual liberation and women’s empowerment, she’s frequently challenged social norms throughout her career. However, these efforts haven’t necessarily gone without controversy, and it seems to have ramped up in recent weeks.

Following her recent spat with Tasha K, who criticized the rapper and Sexyy Red for promoting “h*e culture,” Sukihana found herself entangled in Twitter virality after an NSFW video from her OnlyFans page leaked. In response, Sukihana basically gave a Kanye shrug to the public, telling Armon Warren, “The thing is, I’m a disgusting person so it’s just like, people been knew that about me, I don’t give a f*ck. Y’all can keep posting my OnlyFans videos. […] Whatever you heard about me it’s the truth.”

From her humble beginnings, Sukihana’s grown into one of the most talked about celebrities these days, for better or worse. But ultimately, she's showing no signs of slowing down her ascent to stardom, especially as Sukihana continues to carve out her own lane as a rapper.

Her Beginnings

Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Sukihana, born Destiny Henderson, developed a passion for creativity at a young age. However, throughout her life, she moved from city to city, including Atlanta and Miami, where she began to build her career. Before she began to get into rapping, she launched a YouTube channel where she posted consistently, developing a strong following that she eventually leveraged into a career in entertainment. 

Besides her prominence on social media and her career as a rapper, Sukihana is also a dedicated mother to three children, two sons, and a daughter. Suki gave birth to her first child when she was 18 years old, which she recently reflected on in what appeared to be a response to Tasha K’s criticism. I’m thankful I can provide for my children, I remember having $5 in my pocket while pregnant with two children. Everyone has their time,” Sukihana tweeted. Despite the adversities she faced, Sukihana's tenacity and determination fueled her ambitions.

“WAP” & Budding Musical Career

Sukihana gained plenty of eyes during her stint in hip-hop and the influence that Atlanta and Miami had on her career as a rapper is evident. Her early career included a number of freestyles on her YouTube channel that quickly began to gain traction. Her infectious energy and provocative lyrics helped her carve out her own niche in the music industry.

Ultimately, her music is a reflection of her public persona and her career began to pick up when she appeared in the music video of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” – a cameo that she feels may have derailed the possibilities of a Nicki Minaj collaboration. However,  shortly after “WAP” dropped, she leveraged the recent fame into the release of her debut mixtape, Wolf P**sy.

In 2023, she kept the momentum high with a string of releases including “Boss B*tch.” Additionally, she’s dropped off a handful of features on records with Dovey Magnum and Khaotic. Most recently, she teamed up with Afro B on “Casamigos (Pour It In My Cup).”

She joined the cast in the third season, showcasing her personal life and her grind as an artist. Her authenticity and relatability automatically turned her into a fan favorite, further propelling her public persona.
