Who is Sydney Starr?
A transgender rapper, social media star, YouTuber, and a model, Sydney Starr rose to prominence after appearing in the reality TV series “Love and Hip Hop: New York” in 2018. However, her name came into the limelight long before she was seen in the series.
Back in 2012, she claimed that she was in a romantic relationship with rapper Chingy, which he denied. In 2010, she was a backup dancer in one of his performances, and they met behind the scene, talked a little bit, and took a picture together. Two years later, she said that they were together – she wanted to become famous, and telling people that she was Chingy’s girlfriend was her chance to rise to fame.

Among other things, she said: ‘I want to give a huge apology to Chingy for anything I caused to throw dirt on your name I was wrong. I want to say I was wrong 100,000 times and I want to get it off my chest.’
