Who is Snow Lopes?
Snow Lopes, who also goes by the name Star Martin, is the Godchild of the late female rapper and Grammy award winner Lisa Lopes. Details about Snow Lopes' parents are not known. She was born in 1993 and attended Kim Dawson Conservatory in Dallas.
Snow shared that she never really liked school and had no desire to attend college. However, her family insisted that she needed something to focus on.
I didn't want to go college, but my mom and my family was like, "No, you have to do something." I didn't really like school; it didn't interest me. I would be in my math class writing raps and I am not even a rapper. I would always think, I am not going to use this, so I would never pay attention. I've always been a movie girl. My mom was just like, "Hey, you're going to do this." [College] was the best thing that I have ever done in my life, and it gave me so many tools that I use for singing.
Who raised Snow Lopes?
Lisa met Snow's mother in the early 90s, and the TLC band member initiated plans to adopt Snow in 2001. This was after her biological mum could not do it because of financial hardships, and Snow was eight years old at the time.
Who was Lisa Lopes?

How did Lisa Lopes die?
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes tragically lost her life in a car accident on April 25, 2002, while filming a documentary in Honduras. At 30 years old, Lopes was driving an SUV when she swerved to avoid a truck and then an oncoming car, causing the vehicle to flip several times and crash into two trees.
Not wearing a seatbelt, Lopes was ejected from the car and died instantly due to severe head injuries. The crash, captured on video from inside the vehicle, saw three other passengers survive.
In 2023, The Mirror reported that the documentary uncovered new details about an earlier incident involving Lopes, which led to the death of a 10-year-old boy just weeks before her own.
According to reports, Lopes was a passenger in a rented minibus driven by her assistant, Stephanie Patterson, when the vehicle tragically struck and killed the boy as he ran across the road in Honduras.
Lopes took responsibility by covering the hospital and funeral costs for the child and providing financial support to his family, but the event was never reported to the police. In the documentary, Lopes expressed a belief that a spirit had been following her, intending to take her life.
She felt the spirit mistakenly took the boy's life instead, as his last name, Lopez, was eerily similar to her own.
What did TLC stand for?
TLC stands for Tionne, Lisa, and Crystal, the initial names of the three girls whose genre of music included pop and hip-hop. When Crystal left the group, another member named Rozonda joined them.
Why did TLC break up?
Aside from their financial difficulties, there had been rumours of the ladies' strained relationship. When the 'Left Eye' died in a vehicle accident in 2002, the group suffered a big blow that escalated the problem.
Why was Lisa called Left Eye?
Lisa got this name from her ex-boyfriend. Michael Bivins mentioned to Lisa that her left eye stood out from her right and that he was attracted to her because of that, and the rapper adopted that name.
Did the Left Eye have a kid?
Lisa had no biological child. She had adopted a 12-year-old boy ten years prior. She was also finalizing her adoption process for Snow when she died. In an interview, Snow mentions:
I started watching more of her [videos], and I am so much like her it's crazy. She was so much into astrology, the universe and spirituals. All that makes me think that everything happens for a reason, and she was my godmother for a reason.
