Christina Aguilera,Lil Kim,Pink

Description

Aguilera was born in Staten Island, New York, to Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, a Sergeant in the U.S. Army at the time and Shelly Loraine Fidler, a teacher of the Spanish language. Aguilera's father was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, while her mother is Irish Catholic[14] [15] (Christina's maternal grandmother emigrated from County Clare, Ireland.)[16] Her father, Fausto, was stationed at Earnest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland, Canada and Japan. Aguilera lived with her father and mother until she was seven years old. When Aguilera's parents divorced, her mother took her, and her younger sister Rachel, to her grandmother's home in Rochester, Pennsylvania, a suburb outside of Pittsburgh. According to both Aguilera and Fidler, her father was very controlling, as well as physically and emotionally abusive.[17] She later wrote about her difficult childhood in the songs "I'm OK" in Stripped, and "Oh Mother" in Back to Basics. Although her father has written to Aguilera, she has ruled out any chance of reuniting with him.[18] Since then, Fidler has married a paramedic named Jim Kearns, and changed her name

Lil' Kim was born Kimberly Jones in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. At the age of 9, her parents separated, so her father raised her until he expelled her from home, so she lived with friends or on the streets. While struggling through her personal life, Kim met rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who was a key figure in both her personal and artistic life, particularly when Wallace had gained popularity and influence through his relationship with Bad Boy Records.[1]

In 1994, B.I.G. was instrumental in introducing and promoting the Brooklyn based group Junior M.A.F.I.A., which included Lil' Kim (aka "Big Momma" or "The Lieutenant"). The group's first and only album was titled Conspiracy.[1] Three hit singles came from Conspiracy: "Player's Anthem" (peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #2 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart), "I Need You Tonight" (#43 R&B, #12 Rap), and "Get Money" (#17 on the Billboard Hot 100, #4 R&B, #2 Rap).[2] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Conspiracy Gold on December 6, 1995, marking sales of 500,000 units. "Player's Anthem" was Gold, and "Get Money" went Platinum (sales of a million units)
