Brittany Nicole Carpenter was born in Atlanta, Georgia.[1]
Crime Mob first garnered national attention in 2004 with their single "Knuck If You Buck",[2][1] which was eventually certified Platinum.[3] They released their debut album, Crime Mob later that summer. Their next charting single, "Rock Yo Hips", was released in August 2006 and was followed by a second album, Hated on Mostly, in March 2007.
In November 2007, Diamond left Crime Mob to pursue a solo career. She was conflicted about going solo, feeling bad and feeling like she betrayed the group. She states:
| “ | I feel like it’s the best decision to make because the choices and opportunities that was presented in front of me the whole time while I was in the group, I’m able to take that now and not feel bad about it or not feel like I’m being disloyal to the group. | ” |
She released a series of mixtapes called Bitch Muzik, and one called P.M.S (Pardon My Swag).
In 2010, Diamond appeared on the remix of Ludacris' "My Chick Bad" with Trina and Eve.
