When she reached 7th grade, Diamond decided to enter her talent show. In it, she impressed her peers with her fast and freestyle rhymes and doing so over the beat of YG's Who Do You Love. It was at this point that she realized that if everyone thought that she was this good, she could make a career out of doing what she already does.
