Kreayshawn grew up in [[East Oakland]] and received her first video camera at the age of ten, which she used to document her raps and everyday life. At 13, she enrolled at MetWest High School, which she described as a "new alternative type of high school." She later transferred to Oakland High School but was expelled for frequently skipping class. She also worked as an intern at a radio station during her time at MetWest.

Before pursuing music, Kreayshawn studied film and became known in the Bay Area underground scene for directing music videos for artists including [[Lil B]] and associating with members of [[Odd Future]].
