Career

She was treated and shortly released from the hospital.[4][5][6][7] In late 2012, she featured on Tyga's Well Done 3 mixtape.[8][9][10] She became known in 2012 for her feature on Tyga's "Heisman" track.[11]

In 2013, she signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music. Honey C also toured with Tyga in 2013 and released a few of her best-known solo singles that year and into 2014 ("Curveball," "ChiChi Get The Yayo," "Middlefinger" etc.). In 2014, she released Like a Drug.[12] By 2015, Honey C had features with artists such as Kid Ink, Dizzy Wright, and Kirko Bangz.
