Danielle Bregoli

Background

Rapper Danielle Bregoli, most known by her stage name Bhad Bhabie, was born in Florida on March 23, 2003. Her parents are Barbara Ann Bregoli and Ira Peskowitz. They split when she was still a toddler; since then, the rapper hasn’t maintained a relationship with her father.

Bregoli has always been a problematic child and her mother decided to take her to the famous show “Dr. Phil.” The talk show is hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw, who gives life advice from his professional experience as a doctor. On the talk show, Bregoli’s mother expressed Bregoli’s misbehavior, including the time when she tried to steal a car. Then, the audience started laughing at Bregoli, which really upset her. At that moment, Bregoli said, “Catch me outside, how about that?” With her characteristic pronunciation, the phrase sounded like “Cash me outside, how bout dah?” The phrase became widely popular on the internet and it even became a meme — Bergoli was regarded as the “cash me outside” girl.

Even though the fame that came with the phrase didn’t amuse Bregoli, she knew how to take advantage of the situation. She decided to benefit from her popularity on the internet and pursue a music career. In 2017, she released her first single, ‘These Heaux.’ The song debuted at 77 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Bregoli became the youngest rap artist to debut on the chart. Due to her incredible success, she landed a deal with Atlantic Records. Since then, the rapper has released several successful singles such as ‘I Got It,’ ‘Mama Don’t Worry (Still Ain’t Dirty),’ and ‘Both of Em.’
