The Internet is being dominated by all these newcomers who are tearing the game up with their OnlyFans and IG accounts with millions of followers. They have their TikToks and their apps and we can see them whenever we want. However, back in the day, we had things like magazine covers we had to see once a month or music videos or our own imaginations.
These women were the damn torchbearers who came through and rocked our worlds. Guess what. So many of them still got it, too. They’re still tearing up the ‘net and showing us that they are as fly as ever. Hell, if they wanted to give us their own versions of OnlyFans accounts we could take that, too.
So without further ado, let’s look at some of the internet baddies who killed it in the early 2000s and early 2010s who are still cooking.
Briana Bette – She is one of the early famously viral models of Twitter. She’s now giving us fitness tips and hookups but an OF would be great.
If you remember, the Texas native was first spotted in Kendrick Lamar’s “King Kunta” music video and had viewers in awe of her thick cakes. In addition to stunting on the gram, Bette is heavy into fitness and is a psychology graduate from the University of Houston.
Bette currently hosts a podcast called the Bigger & Better Podcast where she talks about her predictions for the NFL football season and her love and ideas about the sport. You can tune into her show every Tuesday.

Bria Myles – She became a legend when Drake sang about her in 2009 and she’s been tearing up the internet since. Allegedly the two dated from 2008 to 2009 so it would make sense. Bria’s luscious and chocolatey curves could make a grown man cry and if she had an OnlyFans page, I’m sure folks would be rushing to get a subscription.
The model and fashionista seems to be growing her own clothing brand called Bria. The line features a few skin tight athletic wear pieces at the moment but, we can’t wait to see what other items are added to the store. She’s still got it but unfortunately she doesn’t post like she used to, so make sure you take in all the beauty while you can.

LoLa Monroe – She was one of the infamous cover girls for King Magazine who went on to become a rapper. She’s still out here giving us bawdy glory. The rapper just recently sat down for an interview with Revolt TV to discuss her busy life and touched on her entrepreneurship, being apart of the female rap phenomenon and most importantly being a mother. Monroe currently runs a few business ventures including her Blue Rose Dynasty entertainment company and vegan skincare line “Vegan Godd3ss”. Monroe told Revolt:
“Being a female entrepreneur is very empowering. When I officially tapped into becoming a full entrepreneur and not just be an artist, I actually started acting on it because it’s always been a mindset for me. It’s always been something I knew I’d tap into. Before I ever put out a song, I started my entertainment company. This was before I knew anything about the business. Years before I even got good at rapping for real, I was just learning.”
LoLa Monroe was the first female to sign to Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang back in 2013, and went on to drop her Lipstick & Pistols mixtape that same year. Apparently the beauty took on the name of LoLa Monroe to showcase her love for Marilyn Monroe. The rapper is a proud Ethiopian goddess too!

Back in January the business mogul dropped a new single called “Back Back” featuring King Los.
Gloria Velez – Velez is one of the original video VIXEN’S from the 2000’s. The New York native has shown up in the music video’s of some Hip-Hop giants like when she appeared in DMX’s “What These B*tches Want,” Ja Rule’s “Holla Holla” and as the notorious cowgirl draped-up in white in Jay Z’s “Big Pimpin'” video. That role alone gave her major praise and snagged her awards from BET as their “Video Vixen” of the year and XXL’s “Eye Candy” of the year.
She’s now a business owner and happy mother of two. She looks just like she did back in the video days, too.
Esther Baxter – She’s an OG video vixen who is retired from the game but she’s as bad as ever.
Esther Baxter was the it girl of the 2000’s Video Vixen blow out and the model and actress reigned queen too. She’s starred in over 25 of the most popular music videos with artists in Hip-Hop including Kanye West, Ludacris, Will Smith, The Roots, and Nelly. Her sultry looks and crazy body landed her on the cover of VIBE, KING, Smooth, The Source, XXL, and Today’s Black Woman to name a few.
The success doesn’t stop there. Esther was also recognized for her role in the Austin Powers-themed video for Ludacris’ hit single “Number One Spot.” She was given the “Video Goddess Award” at the annual VIBE Awards that year.
If you remember too, Esther had a brief run as a TV personality as well appearing as a guest on MTV’s G’s to Gents in 2008.
Baxter appears to be running her own catering company and a lingerie brand called Bel Ange Lingerie.
Vida Guerra – She is an OG video vixen who was on top of the world and she’s still got it.
Vida Guerra is a Cuban-American glamour model who first came onto the scene in December of 2002 when she appeared in FHM Magazine. It was history from there.

However now, the Hip-Hop model has traded her Vixen days for entrepreneurship, running her athletic loungewear brand We Are Eleven 33. She’s also a wellness influencer and currently hosts a radio show called Heaven With Vida on Dash Radio.
Brooke Bailey – She’s got her own shop and fitness line and all that but also yeah she’s still a banger. The former MTV Wild ‘N Out Girl was a sensation. Remember her role on Basketball Wives Of LA too? Bailey has continuously upped the bar from Vixen to full on TV personality and now entrepreneur. She runs a clothing line called Opulent Icon and has a book club too.
