Jazmin Renae isn’t just another reality star—she’s a businesswoman, a mother, and a woman who knows exactly what she wants. Sitting down with Angela Yee on the Lip Service podcast, the Baddies Midwest star opened up about her journey from hosting parties in Detroit to becoming a household name in reality TV. She also shared her thoughts on relationships, motherhood, and why she refuses to settle when it comes to dating.
Teen Motherhood & Family Dynamics
At just 19, while juggling college and a budding entertainment career, Jazmin became a mother to her son, Chase. His father, Chaz Bling of Doughboy Cash Out, was already making waves in the Detroit music scene, leading many to assume he influenced her own music. However, Jazmin made it clear that she built her brand on her own terms.
Her pregnancy initially caused tension in her family—her mother, who worked nights at Chrysler for nearly three decades, didn’t speak to her for a while. But over time, their bond strengthened, especially after her mother became close to her grandson. Growing up, Jazmin was raised primarily by her grandparents while her mother hustled to build a better life, even expanding into business ventures like vending machines.
Building a Career on Her Own Terms
Jazmin’s entry into the entertainment industry started early. By 17, she was hosting parties and doing radio work, later pursuing mass communication at Tennessee State University. Despite assumptions about her music career, she’s worked hard to prove herself, with longtime friend Kash Doll supporting her every step of the way.
When she joined Baddies Midwest, she was intentional about maintaining her personal brand. While reality TV is known for its drama, she made conscious choices about how she presented herself, keeping in mind that she’s a mother first.
Dating Standards & Why She Won’t Settle
Jazmin has made it clear—she’s not looking for just any relationship. While she’s open to love, she has non-negotiables, including financial stability. “I can’t date a man who makes less than me,” she stated, emphasizing that a partner should be able to contribute equally.
She’s also not interested in dating bisexual men and is open to long-distance relationships if the connection is strong. Above all, she wants someone who can teach her, help her grow, and match her ambition.
Though she prioritizes independence, Jazmin acknowledges the importance of a supportive partner. She values men who take initiative and make an effort in relationships, noting that financial stability alone isn’t enough—thoughtfulness and emotional connection matter just as much.
Defining a ‘Baddie’ & Respect for Natalie Nunn
For Jazmin, being a “baddie” goes beyond looks. “It’s about handling your business, taking care of your kids, maintaining good hygiene, and being real,” she explained. She also praised Baddies producer Natalie Nunn as a “genius” in the reality TV space, recognizing her ability to shape the show’s success.
