Biography

Gena Tew was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 16, 1994. While Gena’s parents were not in the picture that much while she was young, she grew up alongside her sister, who later died from lung cancer.

The social media influencer started her career as an Instagram model after college. During her career, she’s done multiple advertisements on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

She’s also active on YouTube, posting song covers, makeup tutorials, and recently, sharing her battle with AIDS and her sister’s passing away. Aside from being a social media star, Gena modeled for Cover Magazine in 2015.

While living her best life and traveling worldwide, Gena has meddled with the elites and has been linked to multiple stars like Chief Keef, Chris Brown, and Nick Cannon.

Her Battle With AIDS

The 27-year-old has been very public about her struggles with AIDS. After ten years of living with the disease and not feeling anything wrong with her health, Gena received her STD tests and got hit with the horrible news that she had a problem. She reported the devastating news to her fans on TikTok in March 2022.

From then on, everything went downhill, but she didn’t lose hope and kept fighting for her life and health. Shortly after testing positive for STDs, Gena lost sight in her left eye and immediately underwent surgery to regain her vision.

The surgery was claimed to be successful, and Gena could see from both eyes. Sadly, the symptoms returned after five days, and the starlet lost sight again.

But things got better in other areas. She recently documented her recovery and regained the ability to walk. She was also pleased to report that she has gained 105 lbs after only weighing 65 because of her illness.

When asked about the cause of her disease, Gena tried to break the stigma and said that the possibility of her getting AIDS from one of her former lovers(of which there are not many) is really low.

She continued explaining that she didn’t always have it easy growing up. When she was eighteen years old and finally able to move independently, she decided to expand her horizons and move to New York.

But, being a teenager without money, moving to such a big city was a massive step for her. On her TikTok account, she explained that for a good amount of time, she was homeless and living in strangers’ apartments, cleaning their houses and taking care of their pets.

Living alone, especially on the streets as a young adult, is very scary and dangerous in such a big city. She tearfully says that during that time, she was also abused and drugged by multiple strangers before taking a stand and getting a job to pay for an apartment.

From here on, she started building her career as an Instagram model, posting multiple times a day, while simultaneously applying for modeling gigs.

One day after going out with her friends to a club where many famous people go, she met none other than Nick Cannon, who came up to say hi and introduce himself to her.

Gena claims they only went out for one drink, and nothing physical happened between them, even though multiple sources claim otherwise.

Being Nick Cannon’s mystery girl boosted her career as she got a great job working as a hostess at the Grove in Los Angeles.
