They made their first appearance as a part of the music video “Not Tonight” by Lil’ Kim in 1997 before releasing their self-titled debut album two years later.

The group mreleased numerous chart-topping singles from 1999 to 2004. One of their most memorable songs was “Bring It All To Me” which was an international hit, and their single “808” was certified gold. However, a few years after the release of their debut album, the group went on hiatus for five years. During this period, they released unsuccessful singles, but appeared in the film “Honey”. In 2007 the group then announced that they were disbanding. They had intended to make a comeback in 2012 but it never eventuated due to the death of Natina Reed in an accident. While her music career with Blaque was over, Shamari moved on to other opportunities.

Acting and Reality Television
While with Blaque, Shamari gained her first acting opportunity in the film entitled “Bring It On”, portraying a cheerleader named Lava in the comedy film starring Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku, in the first in what would become a series of films, however, its direct to video sequels no longer featured any of the original cast members. It follows the story of a team’s preparation and participation in a cheerleading competition. The film was commercially successful, and is considered a cult classic. Shamari then took a long break from any camera related projects, until in when she joined the cast of the reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” during its 11th season.
The show is the third installment of “The Real Housewives” franchise, following the lives of several women who reside in Atlanta, Georgia.

Despite that, the show is the highest rated installment of the entire franchise and the most watched series on Bravo, leading it to create many spin-offs.
