In 2019, Tatu Baby joined the cast of “Cartel Crew” — a reality TV series that features the lives of people in Miami who had relatives to drug cartels. Tatu Baby’s biological father was a drug kingpin, but he was killed when Tatu Baby was just 4 years old. As she shared with Distractify, she initially didn’t know about her father’s background. She just came to know about him after she mentioned his name to a friend’s father who she said went as pale as a ghost upon hearing who her father was. “He said, ‘Don’t go around repeating to people that he was your father’,” she said.
It was at that point when Tatu Baby decided to ask her mother about her father. After her father’s death, her mother decided to live a life away from the cartel life. “All she knew when my dad passed away was that she wanted to run away as far away from it and put it behind her,” Tatu Baby recalled. Tatu Baby has a close relationship with her mother, but talking about her father causes tension between them. However, Tatu Baby said that she just wants to learn more about her father, as it’s part of her history.
