American certified esthetician and makeup artist Whitney Alford. Kendrick Lamar, a multiple Grammy Award recipient, is engaged to her. Alford, a native of California, was raised in one of Los Angeles County’s most problematic neighborhoods. She and Lamar first connected while they were both students at the same institution. Over time, a friendship formed, which eventually transformed into romance. At the age of 16, Lamar released a mixtape named “Youngest Head Nigga in Charge (Hub City Threat: Minor of the Year),” which became his first full-length project. Before becoming one of the most important musicians of the 2010s, Alford was there for him constantly as a source of motivation and support. They both deliberately keep their personal affairs private. She has a very low social media profile, and he avoids discussing it in interviews. Alford is also making a lot of effort to forge her own personality independent of her boyfriend’s. She has become prosperous and well-known in her own right through her business work as a makeup artist and esthetician.
Early years and connection to Kendrick Lamar
Alford was born to a mixed mother and an African-American father on May 12, 1986, in Compton, California. Both Alford and Lamar were exposed to the thriving hip-hop scene that thrives in Compton as children. The town has previously provided the music industry with people like Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Suge Knight.
Because of gang violence and poverty, this potential pool is frequently overshadowed. Lamar’s father, Kenny Duckworth, was a member of the notorious street group known as the Gangster Disciples, and other members of his family were connected to the Bloods.
Young adults Alford and Lamar met while they were both enrolled in the neighborhood Centennial High School. They quickly became friends, and over the coming weeks and months, their relationship only grew stronger. A short while later, they started courting.
Lamar has experienced a meteoric ascent to fame as a hip-hop artist. Youngest Head Nigga in Charge (Hub City Threat: Minor of the Year), which served as Lamar’s rap début in 2003, has since been followed by four studio albums, one compilation album, four additional mixtapes, one extended play, and one soundtrack album. 12 Grammys, five BET Awards, and one American Music Award have all been awarded by him.
Alford supported him throughout his years of adversity and eventual success. As he believes she is much more than just “my lady,” he dislikes calling her that. He says, “I wouldn’t even call her my girl. That’s my closest pal. I don’t even like the label that society has given to be a friend, but she’s someone I can confide in.
On March 24, 2015, Whitney was spotted with a sizable diamond on her left ring finger while out with Lamar. In the midst of rumors, Lamar revealed the engagement on April 3 while making an interview on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club.” Midway through 2017, there were media rumors that Alford was expecting a child, but nothing has been officially verified since.
Disputes and scandals
Most of Lamar’s followers were pleased and wished the pair well after he revealed that they were engaged. Rashida Strober, a self-described dark skin activist, was not at all happy with the news. She criticized Lamar for his fiancée’s appearance on Facebook, where he is well known for being quite proud of his black ancestry.
Strober referred to him as a hypocrite and declared she would never purchase another one of his albums. Some people defended her, but many emphasized that Whitney, who is 75% black, has always identified as such. Occupation Alford holds licenses as a makeup artist and aesthetician. She owns a prosperous beauty salon in Los Angeles.
