In November 2020, she received traction with the popularity of her track "Do a Bitch" on the social media platform TikTok.[2] In 2021, she released her debut mixtape This Why They Mad Now with a remix of her breakthrough song "Do a Bitch" with American rapper Rico Nasty.[3] In November 2021, she released the remix to her song "MMM MMM" with American rappers Latto and Moneybagg Yo.[6] In February 2022, she went on tour alongside rappers Latto, Saucy Santana, and Asianae.[7] On March 8, 2022, she released her single "Standards" in the occasion of the International Women's Day.[8] Also in March 2022, she released her second mixtape Toxic Chocolate with appearances from Latto, Yung Bleu, Moneybagg Yo, Muni Long, Bia, and ATL Jacob.[9] In June 2022, she was selected as part of the 2022 XXL Freshman Class.[10]

Starting in 2023, she would stylize her name as Kaliii instead of Kali to match how she typically pronounces her name on her songs. On March 17, 2023, she released the single "Area Codes", that interpolates the song of the same name by Ludacris, which went viral in April 2023.[11] In July 2023, she was part of the Barbie album with the song "Barbie Dreams" with K-pop group Fifty Fifty.
