Tiffany Lane (born August 16, 1974), better known by her stage name Charli Baltimore, is an American rapper and television personality. Her stage name is taken from Geena Davis's character in the film The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Career

Charli Baltimore began her musical career when she met the Notorious B.I.G. in the summer of 1995, and they became involved in a romantic relationship. Several months into their relationship, she left him a voicemail of a rap verse that she had written and he began encouraging her to pursue a career in rap music.

Following the death of B.I.G., Charli continued her career in the industry, booking several modeling jobs and creating a number of hip-hop and R&B songs including "Money", with Gamble and Huff, and "Stand Up", which rose to the top ten of the Billboard Magazine "Hot Rap Singles Chart".

Despite her moderate success on the charts, Baltimore's first studio album Cold as Ice was never released. She continued to be in the rap industry, and joined Irv Gotti's label Murder Inc in 2002.

During this time, Baltimore made appearances on songs, such as "Down 4 U" and "No One Does It Better" from Irv Gotti Presents The Inc. She was also featured on Ja Rule's "The Last Temptation", as well as the Christina Milian track "Spending Time", and Ashanti's "Rain on Me" (remix). In 2003, she earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Rap Solo Performance, for her single "Diary". Baltimore parted ways with Irv Gotti and Murder Inc in 2004.

In 2019, Charli was announced as a cast member on WeTV's Growing Up Hip Hop, with daughter, Sianni.
