BY Dora Abena Dzaka October 24, 2024 8:12 PM EDT

Derrick Milano, known in real life as name Derrick Carrington Gray, was born on December 24, 1993, in Philadelphia to Virginia and Jeffrey Gray.

Derrick Milano is a rapper-producer. He moved to Florida to pursue higher education at Full Sail University. 

He began pursuing his music career at age 20. While in high school, he battle-rapped with friends and sang in the school choir. 

According to Delaware Online, he didn’t start going by Derrick Milano until he started his career in 2013.

Although being a recording artist was always the goal at the top of Derrick’s list, he is best described as a man who continuously refuses to be boxed in.

His ability to shapeshift to fit whatever role is needed to bring the best out of any track he is working on makes him an undeniable influence in the room as a production connoisseur.

He has credits from working with Dani Leigh, Rich The Kid, Kiana Ledé, Justin Bieber, Cardi B, August Alsina, Pop Smoke, 

His co-writing credit comes from working on Nicki Minaj’s “Yikes,” Justin Bieber, Kehlani, and Kiana Lede, and of course, Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé, which won him a Grammy for co-writing Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé’s “Savage Remix.”

More recently, he appeared on Ciara’s R&B remix of “Da Girls.

He also added credits on DaniLeigh’s new track “Levi High” featuring DaBaby; Rich The Kid’s new album, BOSS MAN; and Kiana Lede’s “Forfeit” featuring Lucky Daye, with plenty more in the works behind the scenes.

Derrick and Angela’s Dating History

Derrick Milano and Angela White began dating in May 2023 just a few months after she publicly announced that she’d be going by her birth name in March 2023

Angela White has had quite the come-up since rebranding herself from her Blac Chyna past.

Derrick is White’s third fiancé and is the youngest long-term partner she’s had. 

The two went public with the union in 2023, and it’s been a fairytale romance ever since.

One thing you can be sure of is that Derrick does love Angela as he frequently shares photos of her on Instagram with sweet captions and shows love for her business ventures.

White already has two children: King Cairo and Dream. However, she has hinted at having more children with Milano, and he is “absolutely” ready to have children of his own with her. But Derrick says he’s happy with the role as a stepfather for now.

The Next Step 

The two are bringing their relationship to reality TV as they announce they’ve joined the cast of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami.

He told REVOLT that their appearance on the show won’t be the usual messiness associated with the show, though. 

Milano went on to say that, “It’s a whole new spin to it.

Angela and I will be on the next season, and we’re pushing positivity, Black love, spirituality, and diffusing anything in relationships that can be handled and fixed. 

We’re going to showcase what it looks like to collaborate and make music from top to bottom. It’s been fun.”

The 30-year-old also noted that he and his fianceé would “control their narrative” and “keep God on their side.”

He also mentioned that 7-year-old Dream “has about four songs ready to go” and she “motivates Angela [who] says her daughter makes her want to go in the studio and put in work.”

Fans will be able to see this in the upcoming season of Love & Hip-Hop: Miami. 

Part of their arch will be him spotlighting “the power of the mother-daughter dynamic when it comes to society and music.”
