Personal life and rise to fame
In 2003 Rajee had been transitioning from male-to-female after coming out as transgender in the late 1990s; having thought previously that she was just an effeminate gay man. To feminize her appearance, through word-of-mouth, in the local transsexual community, Rajee went to Oneal Ron Morris AKA The Duchess to receive cheaper alternatives to cosmetic injections. Narinesingh was under the impression that the fillers were silicone and that Oneal had medical training but knew Morris wasn't a licensed doctor; there was a "sisterhood" between the two women since both are transgender so Rajee trusted Duchess to enhance her appearance. The silicone turned out to be a concoction of concrete and tire sealant with mineral oil used to soften it, and the holes being plugged up with glue. Rajee was unaware of this until her body reacted negatively to the substances injected into her about eight months into getting them. Too embarrassed to seek help until a friend urged her to see Dr. John J. Martin, the substances hardened under Rajee's skin causing nodules to form where the chemicals were injected. John Martin began conducting laser therapy with softening injections to raise the substances to the surface and have them removed; this took ten years and by 2015 Narinesingh had most of the cement removed, all of which was documented on the E reality show, Botched. Two years prior to this Rajee did a local news interview for an ABC affiliate in Florida which went viral. The appearance led to more high-profile appearances on shows such as: Anderson Cooper 360, Dr. Phil, and The Doctors to name a few. Rajee also acted in a film entitled Bella Maddo and released some original music; her song "Shake My Cement Tits" is popular among her fans.
