"I’m getting geared up for more music and more things.”
Love and Hip Hop
Atlanta is no doubt a hit. From the drama surrounding Stevie J, his longtime
girlfriend and daughter’s mother Mimi Faust, and his permanent side chick—Joseline
Hernandez to the fuming madness between the “Boss Chick” Rasheeda and R&B
singer K. Michelle. While watching the first season I felt compelled to see how
things turned out. Every episode seemed
to end with a cliff hanger constraining viewers and assuring they would tune in
the following week.
Now that season
one is over and the taping for season two is well underway I sought out to talk
to Rasheeda and find out what she’s been doing since LHHA, and what viewers can
expect next season…
I spoke with rapper
and business woman, Rasheeda as she was on her way to tape LHHA. As we chatted she
was open and very straightforward about her views and opinions.
On What Rasheeda has been working on since LHHA
“Oh my gosh a lot. My website imbossy.com is doing
extremely well. I’ve been building that and expanding that. I’ve added apparel
and other things. And I’m looking for a location for that. I’ve been all around
the United States promoting the album “Boss Chick Music,” I’m just promoting
and doing shows and just really holding it down. It’s been an amazing year. And
already I’m back taping. I’m getting a lot of songs played on TV like
“Nashville and Bad Girls Club.” And now I’m getting geared up for more music
and more things.”
On the positives learned from the Drama and tension
on the show
“I don’t know about positive, positive. But there
are a few things I want people to know, just because you see a few minutes of a
person on television doesn’t mean that’s who they are. But some of the positive things, it was good
to be able to see myself and my husband go through our issues on television. To
actually watch it kind of helped in a sense. It’s been crazy… But it’s been a
great experience though.”
"You just have to understand that those things don’t bother me."
On the rumors and allegations surrounding her and
husband/manager Kirk Frost
“I think when it comes to dealing with stuff like
that when you know who you are, where you come from, and what you’re made of… You
just have to understand that those things don’t bother me. One thing we
understood is that you have to take the bitter with the sweet. And people are
going to say things about you that a lot of times that are so untrue and one
the thing about the press is they’ll pull out all of the negative stuff they
can pull out. But let you be out here really doing some positive stuff and you’ll
never know it because they could care less about the positive things. I just
look at it look honey these people don’t even know me, they don’t know us.”
I assured her that I am absolutely not interested in
exploiting anyone. I never have been and I NEVER will be. True journalism and
interviewing is about the interviewee feeling comfortable enough to speak freely
without worrying about people misconstruing their words or selling their
private details. People feel that they can talk to me, like they can trust me,
and they can.
"You can have some of the people fooled some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time."
On her least favorite cast mate
“I don’t even have to answer that do I? The girl
with the big ole fake butt.”
On the letter she wrote about K. Michelle’s behavior
“I was at one of those points where I was like okay
by the time I get off of another plane, if I hear another interview come out of
this dumb girl’s mouth- I want to break her neck. That’s how I was feeling but
at the end of the day I really was like fed up. You can have some of the people
fooled some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time. To be
honest your character card is ratchet as hell and you better watch your step. I
look at it like a person who continues to throw stones… Why are you throwing
them? Why are you so angry? Why are you mad? I’ve never done anything to you
and I have my opinion. So at the end of the day I just say some people come
into your life for a reason and boy I’ll be glad when that’s over.”
On if she thinks K. Michelle’s needs therapy or is
it all for attention
“I think she has some issues from her past. Mentally
and totally-- past, present, and future. She does everything for attention. A
person that just wakes up and tweets about you out the blue… I am not thinking
about your a*s let alone tweet or talk about you like that. The only time I
talk about her is when she’s mentioned and sometimes I’ll do interviews and I
won’t even talk about it. I definitely know it’s for attention because if you
pay attention to season one all she did was talk about people, start sh*t with
people, and talk about that story. Other than that she didn’t have anything else
going on. So everything was for attention.”
"I’m not a hundred percent sure but from what I see and from knowing him… I can’t see that."
On if she thinks Memphitz abused K. Michelle in any way
"Let me say this… I’m not a hundred percent sure but
from what I see and from knowing him… I can’t see that. And more than likely
she’s lying.
On if there is any chance for reconciliation between
her and K. Michelle
“No.”
On the possibility of a sit down for a truce between
her and K. Michelle
“She’s not mentally capable of having a logical conversation
with a woman like me, so no.”
"I think she’s just jealous of me and my crazy, beautiful, successful friends who all have men in their lives."
On if her loyalty and friendship with Toya is keeping
the feud going
“Of course, and I think it’s even deeper than that.
I think she’s just jealous of me and my crazy, beautiful, successful friends
who all have men in their lives. And even me being married. If you really pay
attention the things that she’s says about me and other people are actually the
problems she has within herself.”
On what viewers can look forward to next season
On what viewers can look forward to next season
“You’ll be able to see more real relationship issues
that I think a lot of people in the world have gone through or are going
through. You’ll get to know me a little more… definitely a little more. You’ll
get to step into my music lane and my Boss lane. Other than that I can’t give
you too much more… You’ll have to just watch and see what happens…
On what fans can expect from Rasheeda in the future
“Well I’m working on a new album… “Also be on the lookout
for my new single from the “Boss Chick Music” album called “Hit it from the
back.” It’s going to be very cool, very ghetto. And check out my website “imbossy.com”
On what she wants her legacy to be
“What I want my legacy to be is… When I turn on her
music or when I see her on television that’s the woman who made me feel
empowered. She made me feel good, confident, driven, and motivated. A woman who
wasn’t scared to stand on her own two feet, say what she wanted to say, or feel
how she wanted to feel. And at the same time say to other women, the sky is the
limit. Do you, be classy, and be respectful.”
Rasheeda and I ended the conversation with her
answering questions many inquired about and leaving nothing unsaid. I enjoyed
talking to Rasheeda, her outspoken demeanor and jovial personality made my job
easier. For more information on the “Boss Chick” herself you can follow her on
twitter @rasheeda or imbossy.com. I officially stamp Rasheeda a part of the
Just Talk family.
