Sorry I didn’t mention this before but can you change the Jewish part to German Jewish (because that’s what it says in the link)? And please add French too (even though I’m not sure which of her parents is part French since she hasn’t stated it yet but I’m guessing it might be her dad).

And you can also add that she was well known as “Lil Fizz’s cousin”, although she is not related to him. It was used as a marketing tool suggested by Chris Stokes to promote her through B2K and attract audience, but they were close like cousins.
