Does She Have a Daughter? Baby, Siblings, Family, Parents
Aiko is a mother of a girl named Namiko Love, fathered by the R&B singer O’Ryan who she dated from 2005 to 2008. She had a brother named Miyagi, who died of cancer in mid-July 2012; she recorded a song for him on her laptop, ultimately playing it only for him.

Net Worth
So just how rich is Jhené Aiko as of mid-2018? According to authoritative sources, this singer has a net worth of $500,000, accumulated from her career in the previously mentioned field. She hasn’t disclosed any information regarding her assets such as houses and cars. Being a recognized singer and earning a fair amount of money has allowed Aiko to take care of her family.
Early Life
Jhené is the daughter of Christina Yamamoto, of Japanese, Spanish and Dominican ancestry, and Karamo Chilombo, born into a family of African American, Native American, Jewish and German family. She spent her formative years in Ladera Heights where she was homeschooled, and later on took vocal lessons in Culver City, deciding to pursue her career on a serious level. However, she quit lessons when she got pregnant, but still went on to become a big name in the music world. Judging from the photos available on the internet, the singer has a fit figure, dark hair which she sometimes dyes different colors, and dark eyes.
In 2013, Aiko made her debut with the EP entitled “Sail Out”, released through Def Jam Records, consisting of seven tracks such as “The Vapors”, “Bed Peace”, “The Worst” and “WTH”, working in collaboration with artists such as Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, Donald Glover and Chris Le, and which received a generally positive response. In the following year, she released the studio album entitled “Souled Out”, which included songs such as “To Love & Die”, “Spotless Mind”, “The Pressure” and “Lyin King”, and which debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, having sold 70,000 copies in the first week of its release. In addition, it took first place on the US Top R&B/ Hip-Hop Albums and the US R&B Albums charts. In 2017, Aiko released her latest album under the title “Trip”, comprising 22 tracks including “While We’re Young”, “Moments”, “When We Love” and “You Are Here”; a day prior to its release, she released a 23-minute autobiographical film with the same title. The album was described as “a moody yet breezy continuation of her established aesthetic, that ultimately lacks growth of her musical capabilities”. Another critic said that the album works because it’s not just about self-medicating or journeying though a grief-ridden mind. Overall, the singer has produced three albums, but there is more to come for her, as she has succeeded in establishing herself in the music world.
