Lady Sovereign
Celebrity Big Brother kicked off on Channel 4 yesterday night, but before you watch the first ‘proper’ show tonight, here’s a bit about our inmates from their C4 biographies.
The UK's best known female grime act was inspired by the success of Ms Dynamite, Lady Sovereign and reportedly began writing raps at 14 and uploading them to a So Solid Crew fan forum. Online she met DJ Frampster and together they started uploading sets as the garage/grime duo, Heavy Like Dat.
In 2005 she met Jay-Z, then president and CEO of Def Jam, who asked her to perform an on-the-spot freestyle, it is reported that she was immediately signed to the label although she later parted company with them.
Lady Sovereign or Sov as she prefers to be called has had success both in the UK and US and now has her own record label through which she has recently released a new album. She is a fan of Big Brother saying "I always end up watching it and getting a little bit addicted".
