When 17 years old, she moved in with the hip hop artist Kool G Rap who introduced the girl to the industry of hip hop music. Since 1999, Steffans has appeared in a number of hip hop videos of platinum-selling rappers including Jay-Z, Mystikal, LL Cool J, R. Kelly and others. Many could envy the popularity and wealth, although it has its own price; while participating as a guest in “The Oprah Winfrey Show” (2006) Karrine admitted to be sexually exploited so that she could get roles in music videos. Meanwhile, she took several jobs like modeling for the magazine “Smooth” and others. She was also in the main cast of the vigilante action film “A Man Apart” (2003) directed by F. Gary Gray.
