Celebrity Big Brother - Lady Sovereign
Sunday, 3rd January 2010
The UK's best known female grime act Lady Sovereign was inspired by the success of Ms Dynamite.
The 24 year-old reportedly began writing raps at 14 and uploading them to a So Solid Crew fan forum.
Online she met DJ Frampster and together they started uploading sets as the garage/grime duo, Heavy Like Dat.
In 2005 she met Jay-Z, then president and CEO of Def Jam, who asked her to perform an on-the-spot freestyle.
It is reported that she was immediately signed to the label although she later parted company with them.
Lady Sovereign or Sov as she prefers to be called has had success both in the UK and US and now has her own record label through which she has recently released a new album.
She is a fan of Big Brother saying: "I always end up watching it and getting a little bit addicted".
