What is Trina's net worth? Meet the 'Love & Hip Hop' cast member who has dated Lil Wayne and French Montana
Anyone who is a fan of the late 1990s and early 2000s music might be more than familiar with Trina. Katrina Laverne Taylor aka Trina became a huge star when she was just 21. Born in 1978, this Miami-based rapper had always enjoyed writing rap verses. Her talent caught the eye of popular Miami rapper Trick Daddy. Trick was so impressed by Trina's talent that he featured her on his album in the song 'Nann'.
The song became a huge hit and Trina became a star overnight. Ever since, this Miami native has continued to hustle and grow her empire. Following her success on 'Nann', Trina signed up with a Miami-based label Slip-n-Slide Records and immediately began working on her first album.
In an interview with Forbes, Trina reminisced about the making of her first album, "Once [‘Nann’] came out, from there we were on tour for a year; in the midst of the tour, that whole year of 1999 I was creating this album. I didn’t have that much time to actually do it; we were just working on the road as we go, and we just went day by day."
"It was a lot of pressure because it was all on a short time frame, and I was going back and forth with different sounds with my voice and just trying to get things done that I wanted to actually make the album," added the singer.
