Childhood and youth of Queen Naija
Queen Naija Bulls was born in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The artist's date of birth is October 17, 1995. She described her origin as: "a mixture of Arabs, blacks and Italians."
The girl's unusual name was given to her by her mother. Her father is an Arab born in Yemen, and her mother is Reva Bulls. She is the eldest of her two siblings. In a more mature interview, the artist said that she was thinking about changing her name because fans misinterpret it.
"I think I want to legally change the spelling of my name 'Naija' to 'Naja' because a lot of people think I call myself the queen of Nigeria," she said.
Queen Naija Bulls started singing in church and writing songs at an early age. As a teenager, the artist rose to national prominence as a contestant on several seasons of American Idol, including season 13 in 2014.
She rose to fame as an internet personality through her YouTube channel, where she and her then-husband posted videos focusing on pranks. After the couple's split, Quinn remained active on social media and returned her focus to music.
The Creative Path of Queen Nige
At the end of December 2017, the premiere of the musical composition Medicine took place. A year later, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 45 and topped the Adult R&B Songs charts.
The “big fish” became interested in the artist. Some time later, she signed a contract with Capitol Records. On the wave of popularity, the singer releases several more tracks. We are talking about the songs Karma and Butterflies. By the way, all the songs performed by the American diva received the so-called platinum status.
Success motivated the artist to move on. Her repertoire is replenished with tracks Mama's Hand, No ID and Bad Boy. All of the above tracks topped the Queen Naija EP
Queen described the EP as an emotional journey in which each piece of music describes an experience or emotion that she went through. She raised important topics for every representative of the weaker sex - love, betrayal, motherhood, loneliness. The EP debuted at number 26 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at number one on the Apple Music R&B charts.
During 2019, she released several more driving tracks. She seemed to torment her fans with the expectation of a full-length LP. Meanwhile, at the end of 2019, she announced that she was preparing a full-length longplay for the “fans”.
The record was called Missunderstand. Album with several singles and performances Lil durk, Mulatto, Kiana Ledé and Jacquees entered the Billboard 200 at number nine and peaked at number six on the R&B/hip hop chart.
