Who is Shya L’amour?
American rapper and social media star Nicole Marie Alagrin – aka Shya L’amour – was born under the zodiac sign Scorpio on 18 November 1988, in Tampa, Florida USA. She’s steadily making a name for herself in the music industry, however, the real reason why Shya’s become popular is her past relationship with famous American rapper Kiari Kendrell Cephus, aka Offset, who’s been married to American rapper Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar Cephus – aka Cardi B – since 2017. Shya and Offset were together in the first half of the 2010s, and she gave birth to their daughter Kalea Marie Cephus in 2015; they broke up after Offset met and married Cardi B, and there have since been rumors that they’ve perhaps reunited and are having an affair, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
Education and early life
Shya was raised in Tampa alongside her brothers Vazquez and Orlando, by their mother Nilsa Santos Alagrin and father whose name remains unrevealed; it’s widely believed that their father’s a businessman and their mother a homemaker, but this hasn’t been addressed by Shya.
She studied at a local high school in Tampa, and was passionate about multiple activities during her time there as she enjoyed appearing in school plays, taking dance lessons and singing on a school band. She was around 16 when she chose to pursue a career as a rapper, however, even though nearly two decades have since passed, Shya’s yet to make her breakthrough.
She matriculated in 2006, and then chose not to go after a college degree, wanting to focus on her career in the music industry.
