DEZZY RENEE went viral in 2021 for her resemblance to the American Rapper Cardi B. Dezzy is a mum, full time student, aspiring musician and TikTok influencer who first realised that she looked like the rapper when a colleague at work said she looked like her. Dezzy didn’t see it herself but when she started wearing wigs, people noticed more and she began to grow a following online. She made a few videos singing some of Cardi B’s songs and blew up over night and woke up to 40,000 followers. Her following has now grown to over 800K on TikTok and she now posts a variety of videos including her own music and showing off different wigs. Dezzy said “I ended up getting more and more followers and I quit my 95 job”. Dezzy believes the wigs really make her look like Cardi B “I think the wigs is what really makes me look like Cardi a lot more. I didn’t want to be paying $500 on a wig, so I became a wig influencer”. Her videos gained the attention of blogging site Hollywood Unlocked and even Cardi B herself, who posted Dezzy on her instagram and tweeted about her. Dezzy said “Cardi B has reposted me plenty of times, she shows me a lot of love which I do support”. As well as some positive reactions, Dezzy has had a lot of negative reactions to her videos. People have said she is forcing her voice to be like Cardi B and she just wants to talk like her. She has had comments saying that she is “the Cardi B from Aliexpress”. Dezzy doesn’t let the judgement get her down “I look at hate as you giving me attention you bringing me up, I’m gonna be successful and you helping me”.
