The sisters were born in 1983 to a German mother and a Senegalese father.

[2] In 2005, they signed to Def Jam, releasing the singles "Rock-a-Bye" and "Bad Girl" with the rapper Fabolous.[3] Sophie departed the group in 2006 and Amina and Jazz continued the group as a duo.

Black Buddafly eventually disbanded and Amina pursued a solo career. In 2013, she garnered attention as a cast member on Love & Hip Hop: New York.[4]
