Are Lil Fizz and Jhene Aiko Related?
Jhene Aiko and Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood star Lil Fizz are not related but have come a long way together in their careers as they grew up together. Jhene started her career primarily by being known as Lil Fizz’s cousin. This came after her appearance in a B2K music video.
As such, Sony Music and Epic Records who were promoting her music marketed her as Lil Fizz’s cousin. The former B2K member, whose full name is Dreux Pierre Frédéric, was born on November 26, 1985, and is currently 37 years old. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S. but is originally from Watts, California, U.S., and is of Louisiana Creole heritage.
Lil Fizz and Jhene Aiko Began Working Together As Musicians in 2002
Lil Fizz began his music career back in 2000 as the rapper of B2K and at the time, Jhene Aiko was about 12 years old (born 16 March 1988). In 2002, having been childhood friends and both music lovers, Jhene and Lil Fizz began working together as (aspiring) musicians though Lill Fizz was already ahead of Jhene in the music industry.
Jhene Aiko featured on Lil Fizz’s B2K remix album titled “B2K: The Remixes – Volume 1 on 3”. She featured on four of the album’s songs and also worked alongside him on their album “Santa Hooked Me Up”. She even appeared in B2K’s debut music videos titled “Uh Huh” and “Why I Love You”.
She did, however, leave B2K and Lil Fizz in 2003 to focus on her education, but she later returned to the music industry in 2012 and hasn’t stopped since. Given this background, it is safe to claim that Lil Fizz, who is not Jhene Aiko’s biological brother, greatly influenced the development of her musical career, particularly the early success she experienced because she was predominantly marketed as his cousin.
