Zendaya rose to fame with her character "Rocky Blue" in Disney channel's series Shake It Up and she became a household name in 2015 when she retaliated to E! host Giuliana Rancic's derogatory statement through social media. It has been the only controversy related to Zendaya. She always wanted to inspire young girls and women to believe in themselves and to feel proud in being who they are, therefore Zendaya steered clear from all the unwanted drama.
