“The reason I started rapping is because my boyfriend was cheating on me with a lame a** b****, so I made a song about it,” she told the outlet.
“And I made a diss song about him and the girl and her friends. You know, because the friends be in on it too, so I was talking all this stuff about them. And then I showed my boyfriend the song and he was like, ‘Dang, you straight know how to rap. You straight snap.’ And I’m sitting here talking stuff about him, but he was liking it.”
Later on in the interview, she explained the meaning behind her stage name.
“My name was already Red, because I used to wear red hair and red stuff all the time. That was my name from middle school, because I had red hair ever since then,” the rapper said.
“When I was trying to upload my song that I had just recorded when I started rapping, I didn’t know what name I should use, and my cameraman was like, ‘What about Sexyy Red, because you’re sexy and your name’s Red?’ I’m like, ‘Okay. I like that.’
“We was putting different stuff in front of Red at first, but then when he said Sexyy, I’m like, ‘I like that.’ It fits.”
