Raised in the south side of Dallas in an area known as Park Row,[5] Allen's family struggled with poverty and her father was in and out of prison.

Her music career began with the release of Da Rise of Barbie Doll Gang Empire on December 16, 2015[7] and the attention from black owned social media blogs.

The 20-track project brings in features from fellow drill rappers Bandmanrill, 2rare, Dsturdy, TaTa, Iffy Foreign, Big TG, YBC Frizzy, EBK Dada, Dougie B, Shani Boni, Mula Gzz, Ivorian Doll, Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter, Miah Kenzo, Sosa Geek, Velly Osama, and Bory3000.

In an attempt to distance herself from a group of female rappers using the stage name Doll, Allen changed her name to Asian Da Brat in 2019.

[10] In an April 2019 interview on Hot97, Allen stated that Da Brat was a reference to the brand of girls' toys known as Bratz Dolls.

[16] In January 2021, Allen opened up about suffering depression due to the death of King Von, with whom she was in an on-and-off relationship before his passing.

[22] In October, 2022, Allen was once again arrested in Douglas County, Georgia, due to failing to appear for the charges stemming from her September 2020 arrest as well as driving 20 miles per hour over the posted speed limit and not having a valid Texas driver's license.
