The Celebreality Interview - Khia
“If I had a Britney machine or a Rihanna machine, I woulda been the beautifulest thing in the world, too,” says the just-disqualified Miss Rap Supreme contestant Khia. Below, she talks about why an established rapper would go on a reality show like this, her relationship with Lil’ Wayne and beef…just don’t tell her we called it that.
Were you mad about being disqualified?
No! It was the perfect exit. I didn’t go on there to follow rules. I went on there and every time I opened my mouth, I was promoting myself and my music. Until they were able to come to find out and stop being delayed…I knew I was going to go home sooner or later. There was no competition in the house. I’m a writer, that’s what I do. I wasn’t on there to play games and be playing with them. They were amateurs. I have done something. My whole objective was to promote me and my music and to let my fans see me. So no, it was just like, “Bye! Toodles!” Everybody there was rapping things that were pre-written. Nobody heard of it, nobody wants to hear it.
Did you think it would take them longer to figure you out?
No. “You My Girl” [the song performed for the nuns on the first episode] was previously recorded, so I should have gone from the beginning. Ms. Cherry had brought it up, so the judges figured out, “She’s fried us.” But now, everybody’s fried because everyone’s verses have to be investigated and the fans are like, “Well, she pre-wrote this,” and “She pre-wrote that.” So it’s like, awwwww, why didn’t you guys shut up and allow me to promote myself? But it was fun. It’s still fun.
Ms. Cherry mentioned this at the elimination?
Yes! She was like, “I heard that before.” I said, “I’m sure you have. I write hits.” Serch didn’t have any choice, especially after I roasted him for hatin’. He was just like, “Let’s get her out of there because this is gonna be too much.”
Part of the challenge, to write 16 bars in an hour, is to see how quick you are on your feet. So you’re saying that you’d rather people hear your music than respect your quickness?
Yes! I’m not a freestyler. Freestylin’ is for free. Why would you get up there and say anything that doesn’t make any sense when you’re on television and you have the opportunity to perform in front of millions of people. You’re gonna go on there and look like a fool, like Ms. Cherry did today? She didn’t even have any material to remember because she’s not a rapper. There’s no way I was gonna get on television and play their game. I went on there with a mission, and my mission was accomplished.
Why didn’t you rap any songs from your upcoming album, Nasti Muzik, on the show?
If I were to do that, they own it. They couldn’t own “Respect Me” or “You’re My Girl” because I own it. So guess what? Pay me to play my music on your show. Checkmate!
What’s your status with Ms. Cherry now?
She’s a joke. She’s young. It’s nothing. She hasn’t done anything to impress me, so I’m not giving her any free promotion. You have to prove yourself and she did that on the show today. It was horrible.
Why did she have such beef with you?
I don’t know. She was a fan! I lived in her city for almost four years. I’ve seen her on many different occasions. So I think it was just her trying to put on for TV. She definitely knows my music and my background.
What about the other girls? Did they respect you?
Yes. Of course they were going to edit it and show me being bossy, but that’s me. Of course I’m going to say that I’m the best. They didn’t show me and the other girls just getting along, me giving them advice, them just looking up to me. There was some haters in the house, but overall, they showed respect.
Did you make friends?
I wouldn’t say “friends.” I’m a realist so I can pick up on fake people quickly and there ere a lot of them in the house. A lot of followers in the house. Rece Steel was genuine and Nicky2States was genuine. She’s a sweetheart.
You’re pretty well known for your beef. Is there anyone in the industry that you do like?
Lil’ Wayne. I love Lil’ Wayne. I don’t think I have beef. I think people mix the truth with beef. Just because I’m so blunt and upfront and real, they’re used to people sugar-coating stuff. It’s not beef. People love my opinion of things because they know I’m gonna give it to ‘em raw. If it’s hot, it’s hot, if it’s not, it’s not, if you wrong, you wrong, if you right, you right.
What’s your relationship with Lil’ Wayne like?
Great. I would say I don’t really do the type of things that they do, and I don’t hang around the type of people that he hangs out with, but one-on-one time is good. He needs better mentors. He’s such a great person. People think he’s a bad person, but he’s not. He’s got it under control.
When you talk about him, even now, I get the sense that something romantic is going on. Is that what you’re implying?
Well…I don’t talk about my personal life too much. But I’m his biggest fan. I’ll just say that.
Are there any females rapping now that you respect?
No. How could I? They all have ghostwriters and so many different producers, it’s like, “Who are you?” People say, “Khia’s a hater,” and it’s like, no bitch. I really am an artist and I do, produce and compose. Just because they dress you up pretty and play dress-up with you, it doesn’t mean that you’re the baddest bitch.
Any resentment for Serch and YoYo?
Uh, yes! Serch was a hater. He was intimidated from the beginning. How are you going to judge somebody that outsold you? All this “obscurity” and “oblivion,” and I’m like, “Serch, is this your life?” “My Neck, My Back” was a major hit, and it’s not going anywhere. I don’t remember “The Gas Mask,” “The Gas Face” or whatever it was. Don’t try to roast me because I’m up on here hustling and grinding and keeping myself promoted. He and YoYo did not understand why I was there. Everybody thought that I should have been a judge, thank you, again.
What specifically about YoYo did you have problems with?
YoYo is a sweetie, but she’s an undercover hater. She was just like, “Khia, I cannot believe you attacked Ms. Cherry. You are a leader. How could you do that?” I’m just like, “She’s the one that’s been running all around the house talking, ‘one-hit wonder.’” When I respond to that, don’t say I attacked her. She had it coming. This is a hip-hop/MC battle show. Don’t come with that, “Oh Khia, you’re a role model” s***. No.
When Ms. Cherry was calling you a one-hit wonder, she was doing it to dog you. But how do you feel about that label in general?
I love it. When they say “one-hit wonder,” they think they’re attacking me with that, but some artists are trying to find that one hit. I made hip-hop history the first time up to bat. I will continue to eat off “My Neck, My Back” for years to come. I will be performing that song at 50. All over the world, all colors, races. Crossing all boundaries. No female has been able to have a mega-hit in hip-hop. Please tell me one song.
“Push It” by Salt-N-Pepa.
There you go. OK. “My Neck, My Back” is in the league with that. So who do I see in the house? No one, YoYo. (Laughs maniacally) I mean, whatever.
Is it a hard thing to live up to, that one hit?
I feel bamboozled because I had such a mega-hit, and I’m just the girl from around the way. I had the success independently, so I didn’t have the mega-machine behind me to make sure my video plays 50 times a day. As big as that song was, if I had a Britney machine or a Rihanna machine, I woulda been the beautifulest thing in the world, too. They’re all robots. If we say they’re hot, they’re hot. If they say, “We’re not accepting Khia because she’s a s***-talker and she doesn’t do what we do, and if we let her know what’s going on, she’s going to expose us”…they’re like, “No! Don’t let her in.” But it’s fine. I’m still going to continue do my music because I love it.
Keep up with Khia via her MySpace.

When my neck, my back came out I was like that is hot. I used to be in the club shaking it up to that song. Then I heard the rest of her album and it was trash. So I was like I will rock to her in the club but she can not get any other play from me. I only like my neck my back because she made it easy for you to tell a man to give you head. If you wanted a man to go down on you all you had to do was start singing her song and he knew what time it was. But she is a “one hit wonder”. And she can smile about that too. Like she said at least she had one hit. And I give her props for that. But that is where the props end. She embarrassed herself on national television. I was so embarrassed for her. I could not look at the television anymore. She was acting a straight fool and it was terrible. I mean I will not let Mz. Cherry off the hook. She did attack Khia first. And Khia came back at her. But she could have done it a whole lot better. She could have ignored her. But she took it to another level. She need to act like a grown woman. I called my friend up like do you see this mess on tv. That respect me was some garbage. That is not what serch and yo yo asked for. She gave them a mess.Get yourself together girl.
May 24th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
I never Liked Khia until I started reading her Blogs. You Are one CRAZY
B!%$#. I have respect for everything you say now. You can definetly be on the radio maybe….another Wendy Williams I heard there looking for a replacement
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:16 pm
RIGHT KHIA DID DO GREAT WITH DAT ALBUM, BUT WHAT SHE DONT UNDERSTAND IS DAT SHE AINT DA DAMN BEST.
AINT NOBODY GOTTA KISS HER DAMN +*^ JUST FOR HER TO LIKE THEM. SHE IS NOT DA ONLY FEMALE WHO IS OUT THERE TRYIN TO MAKE )_$( HAPPEN FOR THEM. ALSO SHE LOVES TO TALK ABOUT HOW YOUNG THESE WOMEN ARE AND THAT THEY DONT KNOW )_$( BUT THE WAY SHE ACTING SHE IS JUST PROVING TO EVERYBODY DAT SHE AINT NOTHING BUT A BIG +*^ KID TOO. IF SHE HAD ANY DAMN SINCE INSTEAD TRYIN TO RUN AROUND AND THROW DAT DAMN ALBUM UP IN EVERYBODY FACE (WHICH WASNT ALL OF DAT IF U ASK ME) SHE SHOULD BE TRYIN TO USE IT TO HER ADVANTAGE AND SHOW THESE UP AND COMING FEMALE ARTIST HOW TO DO )_$( RIGHT. THE ONLY REASON IT WENT PLATINUM WAS BECAUSE THESE FEMALES WAS READY TO HEAR A SONG TELLING A MAN WHAT TO DO TO THEY P***Y. I GIVE HER PROPS FOR HOW MUCH HER RECORD SOLD BUT SHE NEEDS TO SIT HER UGLY +*^ DOWN CAUSE AINT )_$( BOUT DAT HO
R-E-S-P-E-C-T (!+_$ U NEED TO RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE IN ORDER TO GET IT .

Can we say… Clown! Please tell this girl to get some business sense, common sense, hell any type of sense. Khia is to damn old for this foolishness. She said she was on there for promotion. What a JOKE! I guess her wonderful label that’s pushing so many of her hits, couldn’t produce the funds for her promotion. I can not believe she said and I quote ” No female has been able to have a mega-hit in hip-hop.”, And when Salt-N-Pepa were mention….lol…hold up, this is too funny! She had the never to compare her trash to their music.
Her music is garbage, and honestly she really needs a GHOST WRITER. I mean isn’t true Hip-Hop about being able to free-style. That’s a skill, and almost a rare one now days. she’d rather be a one hit wonder? What kind of crap is that? Achive a damn Grammy, then that’s when your proving something or better yet, you’ve become something in the industry. From the looks of her, My Neck, My Back has fed her. She really should grab her neck while on her back and do some damn sit-ups. Her mug shots on thesmokinggun.com look better than the real life version. (Seriously joking).
(Shaking my head) What an Idiot!
May 21st, 2008 at 3:57 pm
KH!A !S ONE OF THE BEST! SHE A!N’T ABOVE NOBODY, AND SHE A!N’T BELOW NOBODY. AND ALL Y’ALL B!TCHES TALK!N’ ABOUT HER NEED TO SHUT UP ‘CAUSE NONE OF Y’ALL A!N’T GOT %^%# ON HER. A!N’T NONE OF Y’ALL GOT WHAT SHE GOT!

Khia needs a “Life Lift”. A face lift and body lift won’t suffice. She needs a total make over. Attitude and all. She’s clearly crazy $^% hell too, so she may need some meds to go with that lift. She sucks. That My Beck and my Back song was trash. A mere fantasy because no man dares to touch her.
May 20th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Khia is SUPER wack people! Get a grip..she can’t even spit a _!_~ in 16!! All of the garbage that she has ever recorded is hooks only, if Khia is your favorite female rap artist than you are clearl y confused about what HIP HOP is…and you should seriously find another role model mommie. That neck and back garbage is played out everywhere..except for maybe Tampa Florida. She should have never even been on the show!! How is it that you are suppose to be an established rapper (because you are far from an MC) and you get booted off on the first show?? LMMFAO!!! So embarassing. I don’t really listen to Trina, but Khia is NOT fu@@#$g with Trina…and she damn sure is not Fu$%ing with Jackie-O. Khia should go at a real MC like MC Lyte, Latifah, or Dabrat and see how far her dusty $`~ gets…she disgusts me….seriously.
May 18th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
NO FEMALE HAS EVER HAD A HIT LIKE THAT? WHAT!? HAS SHE NOT HEARD OF THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL.WOW I KNEW KHIA WAS CRAZY BUT NOT THAT CRAZY.

KHIA IS MY FAVORITE FEMALE RAP ARTIST ESPECIALLY WHEN I HEARD “DONT TRUST NO ($`!& U SO RIGHT CAUSE THEY ALL DAWGS. BUT KEEP DOIN U GURL AND BE DA BEST KHIA U CAN BE.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
I was very disappointed with Khia. She’s the one who sounds like a HATER. She got exposed and thrown out of the house, in the middle of the night or morning, depending on who you ask. Yea, her song WAS popular and she can eat off of it, but nobody wants 2CU@50 rappin about YO NECK,YO BACK! NOT-HOT MA’AM!! If you’re writin’,composin’,producin’, Keep doin’ it. Stop HATIN’ tho. It’s not a good look 4 800,000 copies sold HomeGull.
May 15th, 2008 at 8:21 pm

3rd is she serious? she talks about how great she is, and talks about other people’s skills. that’s not a big sign of insecurity? scared about where your next meal’s coming from? by the way..i’m sure mickey d’s hiring, you seem qualified.
