The rumor that We McDonald is transgender is false. She was born a female and is still a female. The rumor started after haters saw how well she was doing on The Voice. On the last episode, Courtnie Ramirez sang “If I Were A Boy” by Beyoncé. Her performance was great but Alicia Keys chose We to stay on her team.
The Voice is back and better than ever! We Ani McDonald is one of the reasons the show has been so great. “Wé” is actually Kenyan for diligence. The 17-year-old is from Harlem, New York. Her coach, Alicia Keys, grew up a few miles away in the Hell’s Kitchen area of Manhattan, New York.
Alicia Keys fell in love with McDonald as soon as she heard her voice. Similar to Alicia, We had a difficult upbringing in New York City. During her audition she revealed that she was bullied when she was younger. She was bullied because she had a high speaking voice and wore thick glasses. Look who’s laughing now!
McDonald started singing when she was only 4-years-old. It’s never too early to start perfecting your craft, as proven by Alicia Keys who began taking piano lessons when she was 7. The future looks bright for We!
