Minnie rose to fame as a star on Lifetime’s Little Women: Atlanta, which followed an ensemble of little women and chronicled their lives in the city of Atlanta.
Minnie shared many intimate parts of her life on the popular show, including her relationship with rapper Pastor Troy. The cameras famously captured the moment she shared with him that she miscarried a child they had conceived together. She later revealed she was not actually pregnant.
Minnie also opened up about her estranged relationship with her father who left her and her mother when she was young. She allowed cameras to document a paternity test she had conducted in order to determine if the man in question was indeed her biological father.
Upon learning that he was her father, Minnie was brought to tears. “When I opened up the results and [saw] 99.9% my heart just stopped,” she said.
Her publicist wrote that she is survived by “her loving mother Tammy Jackson, Veronica Deloney (aunt), John Deloney (uncle), and beloved (grandmother) Rose Deloney.”
