Who Is Chynna Rogers?

Chynna was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 19th August 1994. She was raised on the western side of this city. Chynna went to Lankenau High School, where she graduated and relocated to New York City, where she started her modeling and later music careers. Chynna Rogers, popularly known as Chynna, has been in the music and modeling industry since she was a young girl in the early 10’s when she released her first singles. Her modeling career began when she was 14 years old when she signed with Ford Models. This gave her huge exposure, and soon she found a mentor in A$AP Yams when she was a teenager. Chynna’s affiliation with A$AP Mob, A$AP yams as well as New York City sparked her efforts to further grow her career as a rapper. The late Yams greatly contributed to the confidence of Chynna Rogers to join the music industry. Also, with the help of A$AP Mob, Chynna Rogers managed to fight her substance abuse and addiction and start a music career. Chynna Rogers was open about her addiction and substance abuse struggle. She addressed her struggles and troubles on her mixtape, Ninety, which was released in 2016. Chynna Rogers released Ninety mixtape on her 22nd birthday. This was like a celebration when she accomplished 3 months of total sobriety. Chynna Rogers was also known as “Seasonal Depression” rapper because she said that her music was for angry individuals who had much pride to reveal how angry they are. During an interview with VIBE in 2018, Chynna said that it was not easy to reveal her addiction to the public. Chynna realized that there were several other people who were going through the same situation as hers. This led her to release Ninety, which reflected on her substance abuse struggle. A lot of her music in this mixtape was written when she was going through the darkest times of opiate use. According to Chynna, this helped her to see the other side of her, which she couldn’t have seen. She admitted that there is no good side when it comes to substance use, but the best side is to realize what you are capable of as an individual. Chynna Rogers admitted that her family was in the front line to help her stay sober most of the time. She credited their support and particularly pointing out that her mother was strict. She revealed that her mother’s death did not pose any threat to her sobriety, and she couldn’t use it as an excuse to fall off. After the release of Ninety mixtape, she got many responses from kids, homies, as well as other artists who previously didn’t feel comfortable admitting about what they were going through in regards to substance abuse. We can say that Ninety mixtape was such a breakthrough to most people who were struggling with substance abuse. They were able to realize that more people were going through this struggle. The ability to admit addiction is the first step to getting help. Chynna Rogers will truly be remembered for this.
