Has a scenario similar to Brooklyn-born beauty Cardi B’s unfolded in South Beach? For the second time in less than a year, a “Love and Hip Hop” franchise reality star has transformed her platform into a lucrative, multimillion-dollar music deal.
“Love and Hip Hop Miami” breakout star Amara La Negra, 27, recently signed to Fast Life Entertainment Worldwide and BMG, a multi-album, multi-million dollar record deal, according to Billboard.
“I’m still in shock!” said the seductive songstress. “At times, I am caught pinching myself because there is a part of me that still is in awe of being signed to a franchise that will heighten my success. It is a feeling of a different level of hunger because I have prayed for this so much that it feels unreal! I am humbly honored to have a team that continues to believe in me. Having a pioneer in the music arena like Zach seeing the potential in my musical craft and talent. I am thankful for my team at Fast Life Ent. Worldwide and BMG for this opportunity as an artist. And I cannot for my fans to hear my new music.”
La Negra captioned the photo this way:

Amara, 27, who is Dominican ,chose her stage name Lanegra as a sign of embracing her Afro heritage. According to NetWorth2013.com, she’s had some success in the Latin music genre but is looking to cross over into the American market. The brown bombshell sings, raps, dances, and directs her own videos. LaNegra also styles herself, which explains why the bronze beauty started a clothing line called ALN.
