Kehlani Ashley Parrish was born on 24 April 1995, in Oakland, California USA, of part-Mexican, African American, Filipino, Spanish and Native American descent. She is a dancer, singer and songwriter, perhaps best known for the album entitled “SweetSexySavage”, and for several mixtapes including “You Should Be Here”, and “Cloud 19”. She’s been active in the industry since 2009, and all of her efforts have helped put her net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Kehlani? As of late-2017, sources estimate a net worth that is at $3 million, mostly earned through a successful career in the music industry, which has included receiving numerous honors and nominations. As she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Kehlani Net Worth $3 million
After her mother was convicted of drug use, and her father passed away from drug addiction when she was an infant, Kehlani was adopted and raised by her aunt. She attended Oakland School for the Arts, and during her time there was involved in ballet as well as modern dance. She aspired to join the Juilliard School as a dancer, but a knee injury turned her focus towards singing, and she was then recruited to join a local pop band called “Poplyfe”.
Kehlani became the lead vocalist for the group, being handled by producer D’Wayne Wiggins, and throughout the next two years they would perform in nearby areas. In 2011, the group auditioned for the sixth season of “America’s Got Talent” and would eventually reach fourth place in the competition. After the competition, she would leave “Poplyfe” due to numerous contractual disputes, and actually stopped working such that her net worth started to fall drastically. She then moved to Los Angeles, California hoping to join a rap group, but ultimately released her first solo song through SoundCloud entitled “ANTISUMMERLUV”, which caught the attention of Nick Cannon, who help her get started back in the music industry.
In 2014, Kehlani released her first mixtape entitled “Cloud 19”, which would gain a lot of popularity – her song “’Til the Morning” was featured by Billboard. She then joined G-Eazy on tour as an opening act, before the following year releasing another mixtape entitled “You Should Be Here”, which debuted in fifth spot of the US Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. After this success, she signed with Atlantic Records, and more opportunities to increase her net worth showed up. She received numerous honors throughout the year, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album, plus her song “Gangsta” was featured on the film “Suicide Squad”. In 2016, she then released her debut album entitled “SweetSexySavage”, and one of her latest projects is a collaborative song with Eminem entitled “Nowhere Fast”, so her net worth is still rising.
For her personal life, it is known that Kehlani is in a relationship with artist Shaina Negron. She was previously in a relationship with professional basketball player Kyrie Irving.
Controversy started when a picture of her alongside musician PartyNextDoor was released on social media, leading fans to think that she cheated on Irving; it was later clarified that the two broke up before the picture. However, the negative reaction led her to attempt suicide, but she has since recovered from the ordeal.
