“I don’t hold grudges forever. It’s not good for your spirit,” a softer, gentler Chiba tells us.
Below, Miss Rap Supreme‘s reigning queen of drama talks about pre-written lyrics, messing with her competitors’ heads, how her oft-mentioned car accident has turned her into an inspiration for young girls, and her sexual attraction to Byata that resulted in a season-long feud and helped define the show.
Were you surprised how much the show focused on the drama between you and Byata?
I was not surprised at all. At the end of the day, it’s television. That’s what they want. They didn’t pick the best lyricists to be on the show. They picked people with personality, people that would give them what they wanted.
It seemed like everyone in the house was grouped up against you.
They were!
That seems like a really stressful situation to be in.
It was. But at the end of the day, I was able to hang in there for a very long time. I coulda got eliminated in the first two weeks. I was able to hang in there as long as I did. I felt like I shouldn’t have been up for elimination since I won the last challenge. I thought that wasn’t fair.
Why do you think so many people in the house were against you?
Um…Byata knew some of the producers who were doing the show. For all I know, who knows? Maybe they told them to gang up on me to see if I would break. There’s no telling.
So you didn’t think that anything that you did warranted their response?
I didn’t deserve that. Not at all.
In this week’s extras, one of the egotrip guys calls you “crafty” and says that you were trying to screw with people’s heads. Do you agree?
No! I mean, I did go there with a strategy. But I did become friends some of the girls, and I wanted to with more. They gave me their ass to kiss after I shared my clothes with them. I shared socks, I shared underwear. I cooked for those girls. I helped them with their rhymes. I was being myself, but at the end of the day, I screwed with them about the contract. I wanted to throw them off their rocker, just like they were trying to throw me off mine. I told them that my contract was different from theirs, that they would be locked in. They didn’t know what was going on. A lot of those girls didn’t read their contract. I read mine thoroughly and had a lawyer explain it to me.
Where did all the drama start? Was it after you said that Bree should have won the gay-bar challenge?
Way before that. It really started when Byata saw that I won the first challenge. She didn’t say much, but I felt her vibe of her backing away from me immediately. If she would have won, I wonder if she would have stayed close to me. Byata is fake. I thought she was a real person. She traded on me, and those were real tears. I was really hurt by what she did to me. She told me she was homeless and I told her she could move to Georgia with me to do the music thing. Once Rece saw how close we were, she wanted to come in to break up the tightness we had.
Do you think your kiss with Byata complicated things?
Oh yeah. There was a little bit of emotion there…
Was there attraction there?
Definitely. I felt like I was attracted to Byata. I felt a connection with her immediately. We talked a while before we even went to the house, before we were even picked. It broke my heart. I thought we were going to become really great friends. But I would still work with her. I would work with any of the girls, it would just be business. Nothing personal. I don’t hold grudges forever. It’s not good for your spirit.
Does that mean that you identify as bisexual?
Yeah. I love women. I prefer a man, but I had a girlfriend at one point in my life. That was years ago, and I hadn’t been with a woman in years, but I was definitely attracted to Byata in that way.
In your exit interview, you talk about movies and soundtracks you have lined up.
Currently, I’m working on a film called The Vapors starring Cuba Gooding Jr. Also, I’m doing a film called Knucles with Tyson Beckford. Make It Rain, and a couple of other films. And then just making my album, doing shows. I have a show coming up in Philly and then Pass the Mic in New York on Thursday (June 5). I got a single coming called “Do That,” another song called “Throw Your Hands Up.” The hits are coming. I’m working!
Do you feel like your career got a boost from the show?
Yeah, but what matters to me more is that so many people come to me and tell me I’m an inspiration to them. Girls that have been scarred or had been beaten up by their boyfriends. Now they want to keep on going. I’m happy that I was able to touch so many hearts with my story of being in a car accident. That was a big accomplishment for me. Some people criticize me for wearing sunglasses, but I do that because my eye doesn’t shut all the way. It’s sensitive to light and without protection, things will get in it. It’s not me trying to hide my scar, it’s me trying to save the vision I have left.
I was surprised that when you took off your glasses, your eye really didn’t look messed up.
A lot of people think it’s worse than it is, but it’s come a long way. I’ve had seven surgeries and I need more. Hopefully, I can find a doctor to sponsor me (laughs) so that other people can see that.
One of the main points of the last episode, which definitely played a part in your elimination was using rhymes that were pre-written. How many of the challenge rhymes you used on the show were pre-written?
Mmm, two of them. Only two. Byata and them had pre-written rhymes, too. And Nicky2States. And Rece Steele. They all did. When I admitted it, they threw it all my way, and that was bulls***. When she was up for elimination, Byata spit some rhymes she already had, and I knew that because she had already spit them to me before we moved into the house! But I didn’t bring that to no one’s attention, because I didn’t care. I wasn’t trying to harp on every little thing.
No one was afraid to do that after what happened to Khia?
Khia sold records. We didn’t sell any records. Our stuff wasn’t copyrighted. The producers told me, “Chiba, you guys can use whatever it is you want, as long as it isn’t copyrighted. As long as you haven’t sold any copies of it.”
That’s interesting because I thought the whole point of the challenges was to come with something fresh off the dome.
Right, and for the most part, I did come with originality. I sat there and wrote. You see me sitting there writing. But being that I admitted that, the girls tried to say that everything I had was written. And that was not true.
Do you regret admitting that?
Definitely. But at the end of the day, the show wasn’t about lyrics. The show was about drama.
In that case, Chiba certainly is Miss Rap Supreme.
Definitely. It was so much better for me, because it seemed like the whole show was about me. You know how many people called me after Monday and said, “You know I ain’t watching that s*** no more now that you ain’t on it?”
Who was the best MC in the house?
Me!
So much is made if your conflicts, but did you make any friends via the show?
I talk to Bree, Lady Twist, D.A.B. and Lionezz like everyday. Me and Lionezz already have a song together, “So Sexy.” It’s on her MySpace.
Any regrets?
I probably wouldn’t have been as open with someone I was attracted to so fast. I should have waited to see all of Byata’s sides before opening up so much. But that’s the only thing I’d change. Other than that, all of that’s Chiba!
Keep up with Chiba via her MySpace.

I love you Chiba!!!! and i can so fall in love with you if we ever get a chance to meet. you are so BEAUTIFUL on the outside but most importantly on the inside. you had all them girls in the house sweating you from the jump and when you won that first competition they really realized you was no joke. and let me just say, you chose the right name for yourself bcuz i am soooooo addicted to YOU!!! i can’t get enough of you. i must watch this video of you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPBwfs6A8w
like 3 or 4 times a day!!!!! Chiba you are sooooo sexy, and when you rhyme OMFG, i can just snatch yo a@@ off that stage and rip your clothes off!!!!, LOL.
they knew they didnt have a show after they took you off and that’s why they only did one more episode when they could have easily squeezed out about 2 or 3 more. that show lost all its energy and flare after you left and i didnt have 2 say i wasnt gonna watch no more….there was no need to, and i didnt.
i so miss you Chiba. i feel like we were roomates and you moved out on me, lol. Please come back and live in my t.v.
VH1 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…………CHIBA NEEDS HER OWN SHOW!!!!!
Oh and let me read them hating A** Bi**hes while im at it!!
First up Ms. Cherry…u gets no luv over here cuz you is a wack rapper with no heart and jacked up teeth. u showed yo “* when u first got in the house with Khia cuz u felt like “oh she had a hit but now she here wit me” and u thought u was better than her. But u didnt want no parts of the drama with Chiba cuz u knew she was 100 times better than u!!! You saw it the first day when yall played truth or dare when she did her freestyle, and that’s why u picked her first to be on yo team. Not to mention it was written all over your face when they told her to leave. But in the end, u still didnt have enough skills to stand on your own just like Khia said. You couldn’t even remember YO pre-written shi_. Keep watching the mail 4 dat child support check.
Next up Rece Steele…aka WTF!! Never could hear your rhymes cuz yo clothes and face was too loud. You look like u pushed ur shi_ up there in a grocery cart. You remind me of a turd. You are a no talent, no dress code, no swagg hater mufu**a just like the rest. Thats why it didnt take much for that devil B to switch u over to the hater side too. And now since the show aired and u see what that devil B was all about, u wanna say u didnt mean to act that way with Chiba! Now u wanna apologize to Chiba and give her a hug!…What a f***kin idiot!! But much respe (yea i meant respe how Khia spelled it) to ya for apologizing and realizing how wack u truly are. As quick as you won is as fast as you are forgotten!! Chiba i know u are a forgiving person but watch your back with that pillsberry dough bi***h.
Third up Nikki2states…aka 2stank. What can i say besides EWWWW. How are u gonna say anything bad about Chiba when there’s so much to say about u!! You are a gutta Bi**h and a Mut!!! Wit yo crusty, ashy, dried up, dried out, deep throat, Grand Canyon a** p****y!!!!!! If you cant respect how Chiba told you, you was making yourself look like an a**h*le, then you can at least respect the fact that she told you to your Face and not behind your back like the rest of them Fake A** Bi**hes!!!! She only was telling you just what everybody was thinking while we was watching the show. Your behavior set female mc’s back another 20 years in the game. “What u do behind closed doors, that’s who u really r”, are you f**kin serious!!!! Thank the Lord u aint Bi sexual!! And you have the nerve to have children, are u sure there’s only 4!!!..God bless them.
Now Byata…THE DEVIL. You are as fake as Michael Jackson nose! First how r u gonna come on a rap show and not consider yourself a rapper!!! You gotta be f**kin kidding me!! This Bi**h is a JOKE. You are a fake, posing, leech, no talent, no style, no personality, chameleon, snake in the grass, Devil. You leeched on Chiba bcuz u knew she was the best. Trying to be her by wearing her clothes and shoes, but Bi**h u realized u could never walk in them. So u tried to turn everybody against her. None of them Ho*s couldn’t see that you was a Fake cuz they a** was Fake too!!! If they was so Real like they claimed to be, they would have seen right through u like Chiba did after she won the first competition and u didnt bother to celebrate wit her. Then u wanna say Chiba wasn’t ur friend cuz she told u the truth. That u didnt know how to lead a group, or perform and Bree really should have won….shi_ u already knew!!! Then u felt like Reece might be a lil tough so u used her dumb loud mouth a** to fight yo battles!! Get a fu*kin backbone Bi**h!!! You was never a friend to Chiba or anyone for that matter and now it all comes out!!!! And let’s talk about the infamous kiss….which to me Chiba looked liked she was disgusted cuz u slobbed down her chin!!! And for u to claim it meant nothing, why didnt u keep yo dirty a** lips up off my baby then?!!! U need to go check yo +!*)_( ed a** into a mental institution where u belong. At least then you’ll have a place to stay. Yea u ran to Hollywood with the rest of the fakes cuz ni**as is looking for yo snitch a** in New York, Miami, Atlanta, and Detroit cuz we dont play that shi_ round here. Yeah, YOU’VE BEEN MARKED!!! btw…dont Will.i.am live in Fakehollywood too, see everything u planned for Chiba is coming right back on you…that ni**a aint NEVER calling you, ROTFLMFAO!!! YA BI**H!!!!
Addicted2Chiba: You are a loser!! To actually sit and type all that. Its too nice outside dude. Get a life *^@`*`
She is gorgeous. seems saw her before on a celebrity and millioniare dating site like BillionaireCupid.com or something. But don’t know if it is her.
Pencil…..talk about the Pot calling the Kettle black. Bi**h you are a BIGGER LOSER for being inside reading it all. And obviously you have no life or friends to try and bait a conversation out of me!!! And what the f**k kind of name is PENCIL….is that the size of your D**K!!!!! LMAO
CHIBA i f**ks wit YOU…..VH1 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT…………CHIBA NEEDS HER OWN SHOW!!!!!
Chiba chiba gots talent. I think all the gurls on the show had talent some better than other but most of all were reppin for the same cause…Boss Chicks..lady MCz ya know. I got love for all of you, put out good music with big beats and I’m a fan..simple; don’t sell out!
P>S> CHIBA look out for that crazy fanatical Bitch…”addicted2chiba” who watches the same video all day and has a shrine to you and does voodoo shit on byata dollz..lmao she is one crazy bitch!!
Addicted2chiba: I gots many more friends obviously than you! I Work 12hr shifts everyday and unwind by reading this BS! But you, sweetie: You need a life, maybe get a job or a friend and i dont mean Chiba, you stalker MF.
And I am a female DJ as well. I aint got no D1ck you dumb ass. pencil is my tax given name unlike yours addicted2chiba. How sad.
Chiba wasnt that bad but Byata was the bomb and should have won.
ok lets get this straight….im not on here to argue or be judged
I am on here repping for CHIBA because she is THE BEST MC i have heard in a long time. I think she got a raw deal from them producers because she was smart and read her contract. They edited the show to try and make her look bad, but IT DIDNT WORK. She still has fans and I plan to get her some more. Im not trying to make her my friend homie….i wanna help her realize her dream because she is THE TRUTH and she deserves it.
HIP HOP AIN”T DEAD….IT LIVES IN CHIBA CHIBA YALL… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPBwfs6A8w
I am not a huge rap fan. However, I watched a few episodes of Miss Rap Supreme, and felt that CIBA was totally misunderstood. I believe that Byata should have been terminated and the class level that CIBA showed inspite of numerous provocations in the house warranted her as Miss Rap Supreme. She’s a great performer, attractive and carries herself well. Who wants to look at someone or listen to someone who is as unkempt as Miss Steele. This is not meant to be demeaning but constructive…look at salt and pepa. They have all the elements. Their clotes aren’t one size or 2 sizes too small, it’s extremely unattractive to look at a woman who has no sense of style and looks like she is constantly sweating.
Mane Chiba i don’t care what no one says……but u had it! Hands down. Them gurls was just hatin, i mean u was my favorite the whole season. Also idk what Byata’s problem was….but she needs to get a life, and mind her’s, not no one else’s. HollllllllllA!
i love chiba,and byata it was a bumm deal when they drifted apart.but its awesome that you guys had that kind of atraction and relashonship
i want to be chiba girlfriend
I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but I’m glad I visited. I will post a link to this site on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
