In life and death, several media outlets including ''[[CNN]]'', [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']], ''[[Fox News]], and ''[[The New York Times]]" have labeled her as the most important female figure and top selling female artist in the Mexican music genre. [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'' magazine]] named her the "top Latin artist of 2013", the "best selling Latin artist of 2013". Rivera began recording music in 1992. Her recordings often had themes of social issues, infidelity, and relationships. Rivera released her first studio album, ''[[Si Quieres Verme Llorar]]'', in the late 1990s, failing to attain commercial success; however, she rose to prominence in the United States and Mexico with her major-label debut, ''[[Parrandera, Rebelde y Atrevida]]''. In the early 2000s, she was often criticized and was refused bookings at venues across California for performing [[Banda (music)|Banda]] music—a male-dominated music genre. However, her popularity grew after she won the [[Lo Nuestro Award for Regional Mexican Female Artist of the Year]] in 2007, which she won nine consecutive times. Her tenth studio album, ''[[Jenni (album)|Jenni]]'' (2008) became her first No.1 record on the [[Top Latin Albums|''Billboard'' Top Latin Albums chart]] in the United States. In 2010, she appeared in and produced the reality TV show ''Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis & Raq-C''. She also appeared in and produced ''[[I Love Jenni]]'' starting in 2011 through 2013 and ''Chiquis 'n Control'' in 2012. Her acting debut was in the film ''[[Filly Brown]]'', which was released in 2013. Rivera garnered nominations and awards from Latin music's most prestigious accolades. Over the course of her career she was awarded two [[Premios Oye!|Oye! Awards]] (Mexico's equivalent to the United States' [[Grammy Awards]]), two [[Billboard Music Awards|''Billboard'' Music Awards]], twenty-two [[Billboard Latin Music Awards|''Billboard'' Latin Music Awards]], eleven ''Billboard'' Mexican Music Awards and eighteen [[Lo Nuestro Awards]]. She received four [[Latin Grammy]] nominations. She has a star on the [[Las Vegas Walk of Stars]], and she is one of the best-selling regional Mexican artists of all time, having sold more than 20 million records worldwide, also making her the highest-earning banda singer of all time. Aside from music, Rivera was active in her community and donated her time to civic causes. The [[National Coalition Against Domestic Violence]] appointed her its spokesperson in the United States. A proclamation was given "officially naming" August 6 “Jenni Rivera Day” by the [[Los Angeles City Council]] for all her charity work and community involvement. Rivera, along with six others, [[2012 Mexico Learjet 25 crash|died in a plane crash]] near [[Iturbide, Nuevo León]] on December 9, 2012. Her death made international headlines for weeks. In December 2014, Mexican authorities closed the investigation on what brought the plane down. [[Direction General of Civil Aeronautics|Mexican Director of Civil Aviation]], Gilberto Gómez Meyer, stated that the results of the plane crash have come back inconclusive and that they are unable to determine the exact cause of the crash. Lawsuits involving the owners of the plane, Rivera's estate, and family members of those on board with Rivera have been filed in The [[Superior Court of Los Angeles County]]. ==Early life== Rivera was born and raised in [[Long Beach, California]], to Rosa Saavedra and Pedro Rivera, who were undocumented immigrants from Mexico.<ref name="huffpost">{{cite news|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/10/jenni-rivera-biography-life-obituary_n_2272062.html|title=Jenni Rivera: Mexican-American Singer's Tragic End Echoes Life Of Hardship On Journey To Stardom|publisher=The Huffington Post|date=December 10, 2012|accessdate=January 3, 2013|last=Fridmann|first=Mandy}}</ref><ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jenni-rivera-mn0000325727#discography\|title=Jenni Rivera - Biography|work=Allmusic|publisher=Rovi Corporation|last=Henderson|first=Alex|accessdate=December 14, 2012}}</ref> Her parents raised Rivera and her sister and four brothers in a tight-knit, musical household; her brother [[Lupillo Rivera|Lupillo]] is also a regional Mexican musician.<ref name="feared">{{cite news|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-jenni-rivera-plane-crash-20121209,0,7164923.story|title=Jenni Rivera, Mexican American music star, feared dead in plane crash|last=James|first=Meg|work=Los Angeles Times|publisher=Tribune Company|date=December 9, 2012|accessdate=December 14, 2012}}</ref> Rivera spoke both English and Spanish fluently.<ref name="allmusic"/> Her family introduced her to traditional Mexican music, including the genres of [[Banda music|banda]], [[Nortena|norteña]], and [[ranchera]].<ref name="allmusic"/> Her father was a bartender and businessman who created the record label Cintas Acuario in 1987, which launched the career of Mexican singer and songwriter [[Chalino Sánchez]].<ref name="Stardom">{{cite news|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-jenni-rivera-career-20121211,0,2837537.story|title=Jenni Rivera was poised for multicultural stardom|author1=James, Meg |author2=Villarreal, Yvonne|work=Los Angeles Times|publisher=Tribune Company|date=December 11, 2012|accessdate=December 14, 2012}}</ref> Rivera earned straight A's in school until her sophomore year, when at 15 she became pregnant with the first of her five children, [[Chiquis|Janney "Chiquis" Marín-Rivera]].<ref name="whyopinion">{{cite news|url=http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/Opinion/jenni-rivera-selena-quintanilla-mexican-american-singers/story?id=17924316|title=Opinion: Why Jenni Rivera's Death Will Be Bigger Than Selena's|work=ABC News|publisher=American Broadcasting Corporation|date=December 10, 2012|accessdate=December 14, 2012|last=Romero|first=Angie}}</ref> She supported the two of them by selling CDs at [[flea markets]],<ref name="Stardom"/><ref name="mourned">{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/10/showbiz/jenni-rivera-profile/index.html|title=Jenni Rivera is mourned, but still inspires|last=Rodriguez|first=Cindy Y.|work=CNN|date=December 11, 2012|accessdate=December 14, 2012}}</ref> while working toward her [[GED]] at a continuation school and graduating as class [[valedictorian]].<ref name="whyopinion"/> Speaking in 2003 of her experiences as a teenage mother, Rivera explained, "Usually, when a young girl is pregnant, she drops out of school and concentrates on being a mother.

The plaintiffs are asking a judge to instruct law enforcement officials to confiscate Rivera's writings and interviews from Lucio so she cannot use them for a book project. In January 2014, Lucio filed a lawsuit claiming Rivera's estate published a biography of Rivera using the writings and interviews that she helped put together before Rivera passed. Lucio alleged her book project, Mi Vida Loca, which she claimed to have written with Rivera, was shelved following Rivera's death but was later published under a new title, ''[[Unbreakable: My Story, My Way]]'', without her permission. Rivera's estate subsequently had the lawsuit moved out of a state court and into federal court, but in September 2014, U.S. District Judge George Wu granted Lucio's request to have the case moved back to state court. She then published the materials and Rivera's estate are now claiming they are the rightful owners of them. The lawsuit reads, "Defendant even falsely listed herself as the author of these copyrighted works, created by Jenni Rivera and/or owned by Jenni Rivera Enterprises, in a registration of a manuscript titled Jenni Rivera, Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life) as told to Laura Lucio; with the Writer's Guild of America's Intellectual Property Registry.<ref name="book lawsuits">{{cite web|last=Sheperd|first=Julianne|title=Jenni Rivera's Family and Friends Continue to Fight Over Her Legacy|url=http://jezebel.com/jenni-riveras-family-and-friends-continue-to-fight-over-1642878633|publisher=Jezbel|accessdate=8 October 2014}}</ref> On December 9, 2014, the estate of Rivera sued the owners of the plane that was carrying her. The negligence case is against Starwood Management Inc., which owned the Learjet 25 jet that crashed in northern Mexico, after plunging more than 28,000 feet. The case is also against the companies that serviced the aircraft, Bombardier Inc. and Learjet Inc. Rivera's parents and five of her children, two of whom are still minors, are plaintiffs in the case. The suit seeks unspecified damages on their behalf.
