Nivea is the ‘Complicated,’ “Danger” girl who experienced a quick rise to fame. She’s most known for her singles “Laundromat,” “Okay,” among others. Followed by her quick path to stardom, the singer vanished from the scene for years and now we get to learn why.

Nivea shares with us her relationship struggles with Lil Wayne, The Dream and having kids, which all contributed to why she had to put her dreams of being a singer on hold.

“I met Wayne. He called me, chile, talking about I want to do a sing with Nivea. ‘Don’t Mess With Man’ video came out. He was like, ‘Who’s this little sassy chick?’ Called my label talking about, ‘I want to do a song with her.’ He lied. We got in the booth, he was like, ‘I lied. I just want your number. We can do a song but I want your number,’” she said.

“He proposed. I had a show in Rhode Island and he proposed in the elevator. I got the ring on in the “Laundry Mat” video and nobody noticed…got pregnant and he went to prison. It was a lot! So where was the room for me to try to be a singer?”
