Born as Destiny Lanette Henderson in Wilmington, Delaware, United States, Sukihana, an American national of African-American descent, navigated a varied upbringing, raised by her mother Lori Lee and stepfather Demond Foreman following the passing of her father, Alex Wright. Her artistic inclinations were fostered early on, with her grandmother guiding her through dance, singing, and acting lessons. Despite her roots in Wilmington, Delaware, Sukihana’s formative years saw her traverse multiple states, including North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
Sukihana’s artistic journey commenced in her youth, as she honed her vocal prowess while attending the Kuumba Academy Charter School in Delaware, immersing herself in ballet, acting, and musical theater. Her breakthrough came when she graced the screens of reality TV with her appearance on Love & Hip Hop: Miami in 2020, subsequently making waves on Love & Hip Hop: Secrets Unlocked, Cornbread TV, and The Jason Lee Show. Throughout her teenage and early adult years, Sukihana graced various stages with her performances, complemented by her burgeoning presence on YouTube, where her channel, boasting over 217k subscribers, garnered attention with viral hits such as the “Kodak Snack” remix.
In her musical endeavors, Sukihana’s influence extended beyond her solo projects, as evidenced by her feature in Cuban Doll’s “Drug Dealer” music video in 2018. Between 2017 and 2019, she released tracks like ‘Don’t Push Me,’ ‘Y U Mad,’ and ‘Hood Rat,’ solidifying her position in the rap scene. Despite her successes, Sukihana publicly voiced her discontent with the terms of her music contract, candidly expressing her struggles within the industry, albeit later returning to her passion for music.
In 2020, Sukihana continued to make waves with the release of singles like ‘Pretty and Ratchet’ and ‘All in Your Throat,’ alongside an appearance as a guest on “The Jerry Springer Show.” Her breakthrough moment arrived as she joined the cast of the third season of Love and Hip-Hop: Miami, culminating in a cameo appearance in Cardi B’s music video for ‘WAP’ on August 7, 2020.
