Born Courtney Rene in South Carolina in 1991, Renni Rucci first drew fandom and attention as a model and social media personality. Before she began rapping, Rucci had various Instagram accounts that accrued hundreds of thousands of followers. In 2017, she tried her hand at music with a series of spirited remixes, 21 Savage's "Bank Account," Moneybagg Yo's "Trending," and Kodak Black's "Roll in Peace." These remixes put her on the map as a rapper and it wasn't long before she struck out with original tracks.
