Internet stars Sophia Grace Brownlee and Rosie McClelland, once the pint-sized stars of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, won hearts with their viral cover of Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" in 2011. The two quickly became viral stars – much to their own surprise.
“We honestly didn’t plan any of this,” Sophia told Celeb Mix. “So many of my family and friends would say to my Mum and Dad, ‘Oh, so she’s so good, she’s got a great voice, you should put up a video of her singing on YouTube,’ but they were always totally against the idea because they just felt that I was too young.”
More than a decade later, the cousins have grown up, charted their own paths, and remained close. One of them has even welcomed children. For those who remember the rapping sensations, here's an update on what Sophia Grace and Rosie are up to now.
