Lisa Lopes
Biography
Lisa Nicole Lopes was born on May 27, 1971 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the first born to Ronald Lopes Sr. and Wanda Lopes-Coleman. Lisa was highly thought of as a creative individual since she was 5 years old, exposed to Fashion on his Mother side and Music on her Dad's side. Later sought as a spiritual rapper, singer, songwriter, friend, daughter, and sister who modeled, assist with making clothes, performed at talent shows, or worked behind the scenes at talent shows before she left her hometown in 1989 at 18 years old to go to Atlanta to become an artist named QT. She joined a girl group named Second Nature, who later became TLC.
After being signed under Arista Record's branch LaFace Records, TLC released 4 albums, 'Ooooooohhh... on the TLC Tip', 'CrazySexyCool', 'FanMail', and '3D'. Lisa came up with the titles for each album. Together, before '3D', TLC sold +30 million records world wide, spurring hits such as "Waterfalls", "Creep", "No Scrubs", "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg", "What About Your Friends", and many other popular records! They've been deemed one of the Greatest Girl Groups of all time world wide. 'FanMail' gave TLC their first #1 album on the Billboard Top 200 Charts. 'CrazySexyCool' gave TLC their first diamond certified record, making them the first girl group to get a diamond certification (and by default, Left Eye the first female rapper to receive a diamond certification in or outside a group), and landed as one of the greatest albums of the 20th century.
​
Lisa released a solo album in 2001, entitled 'Supernova', that was released overseas, and streamed online. She released only one single, "The Block Party", that reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Movers Singles Charts in the UK at #16, and became a Top 10 hit on on the UK R&B charts on Dot Music at #9. Lisa then started working with Tha Row Records on a sophomore album, and a remix album to 'Supernova'. She was recording '3D' with TLC up on other things until her untimely death on April 25th, 2002. She was in a car accident with 9 other people in her brand new truck on their way to Sambo Creek. Lisa died after she arrived in the hospital. She was only 30 years old. Because of her death, she became one of a number of tragic young deaths in the entertainment industry who lives have been taken away from the world. Her funeral was held at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia on May 2nd, 2002, where over 30,000 people came from around the world to say goodbye to the Hip-Hop Legend. Engraved upon her tombstone is a verse she written from TLC's greatest hit “Waterfalls” including the lines:
​
“Dreams are hopeless aspirations, in hopes of coming true, believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you."

Relationships
These 2 went back to High School days. He would record her home videos and record her performance(s) before she left Philly to Atlanta, GA. The 2 kept in touch, and reunited, recording videos again in March of 2002, filming their experience at the Botanical Gardens and a video touring her home, showing how far she came. Todd came online via YouTube and Facebook to give the Eyenetics exclusive home footage he and Lisa took together as 'Young Lisa Lopes (YLL)'. He passed away sometime after.
Before Andre, there was Wanya. The 2 met when they started touring together with their groups, opening for other artists. Wanya had a lot of love for Lisa, but when 2Pac came into the picture, it was pretty much over from there. After they broke up, she ended up dating Andre. Although Wanya and Lisa broke up, they still remained friends. Wanya even featured on her song with Shamari called "Tampered With". He later, on his own, willingly re-recorded his vocals for the remake of the song.
She never publicly spoke on this, but it was said that she was seeing Suge a lot to the point where it seemed a bit suspicious, as if they were a couple. It was confirmed that after they worked together that Lisa & Suge were living together. They later broke it off and she moved back into her home in Stone Mountain, GA, February of 2002, enjoying life as a single woman before her passing.
