“Left Eye” was the stage name of a rather enigmatic rapper and singer whose music influenced many fans, especially during the 90s and the early 2000s.

One thing that many people don’t know about Lisa Lopes is that she was also a mother through adoption.

In fact, many people don’t know that the emerging new singer “Star Martin” was originally called “Snow Lopes”, and is Lisa Lopes’ daughter.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the life of Snow Lopes and her relationship with her late mother, this guide will have you covered with everything you need to know. 

Who Is Snow Lopes?

Snow Lopes is the daughter of the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, a member of the iconic R&B group TLC, which was popular until Left Eye died in 2002.

Although her exact birthday and birthplace were never publicly confirmed. Many rumors claim that Snow was born on the 24th of September, 1993. 

Like her mother, Snow Lopes is also affiliated with the music industry as a singer, songwriter, and rapper. She currently goes by the stage name “Star Martin”.

While she collaborated with some singers and released a few singles, her music career is still relatively new. 

Unlike Lisa Lopes R&B, Snow Lopes is mostly focused on Trap Pop music, which is an urban style of pop.

Is Snow Lopes The Biological Daughter of Lisa Lopes?

Although Snow Lopes is often referred to as the daughter of Lisa Lopes, they’re not actually blood-related.

In the 2007 documentary “The Last Days of Left Eye”, Lisa Lopes revealed that Snow Lopes came into her life after meeting her biological mother.

The story goes that Snow’s biological mother was a single mother that she met in rehab. The struggle of the single mother to take care of her child left a remarkable impression on Lisa, which encouraged her to adopt the daughter.

At that time, Snow was only 8 years old, although her birth name and the true identity of her biological mother remain unknown.

The Death of Lisa Lopes

On April 25, 2002, the world mourned the loss of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes at the age of 30. While driving in La Ceiba, Honduras, Lopes swerved to avoid a collision and tragically lost control of the vehicle.

One thing you should know here is that Snow Lopes isn’t legally the daughter of Lisa Lopes, as the singer died before seeing the process of adopting Snow through.

Since Lisa Lopes was one of the major creative forces behind the R&B group TLC, the group disbanded in 2003, although they reunited again as a duo in 2008.

Snow Lopes has kept a relatively private life following her mother’s tragic death in 2002, mainly because she was still young.

While it wasn’t officially confirmed, the guardianship of Snow Lopes transferred to her sister, Reigndrop Lopes, who forged a strong bond with the little girl.

In a recent interview, Snow reflected on her admiration for Lisa Lopes and how they have so much in common, mentioning her as her “godmother”.

Does Snow Lopes Have Siblings?

The boy was 12 years old when he was adopted, making him several years older than Snow. However, there isn’t enough information about Snow’s relationship with Jamal Lopes.
