What is this woman’s name?

Question by Erin: What is this woman’s name?
Over the weekend, I saw a story on Yahoo! about a woman rapper who was denied royalties, but ended up getting a PhD paid for by the recording studio because of a clause in her contract.

What was her name?

Or, do you have the link to the story?

I mentioned it to my brother and he wanted me to send the link. But not remembering this woman’s name, I’ve been having trouble finding the link again.
