We’ve talked about the upcoming album and breaking out of a box – who would you want to collaborate with that’s hot right now? Would you work with Nicki Minaj or Iggy Azalea?
K. Michelle: Nicki Minaj, definitely. Nicki Minaj, to me, I love how she’s built this empire and the girl is really, really talented – one of the best lyricists that I’ve heard in a long time. I would really love to collaborate with her. Also recently, Anita Baker—that’s someone I grew up with. She took me under her wings and she popped up at the studio. I never thought she would come to the studio, just to talk to me and give me advice. For her to come out of her house and come to my studio session and listen to my new album and say it is absolutely amazing – I would love to do a record with her that fit us both
I just wanted to bring up the idea of you collaborating with Iggy. You and Perez Hilton got into it on Twitter about her and I just didn’t know if there was anything to clarify there.
K. Michelle: I just think she’s pretty. No one can knock me for my opinion. I don’t care—like the thing about it is, with her, I made the comment. I never came at this woman at all! I made a comment because I was really confused by the tone of rapping and the—it has nothing to do with color. It has everything to do with where you’re from. [Iggy] is Australian and then it turns to like I’m from South Memphis like K. Michelle. So it confuses me. Every time I have a question it starts controversy but I was really confused. And I just did not like how Forbes Magazine tried to declare this woman the face of hip hop, when there are so many amazing artists period. So my comment was very innocent. I’m not a hater; I’m just in love with music. And my comment was very real. And so many people supported me and understood it. Not just black people, white people supported me. I wish her the best of luck. She’s another female; however she gets her money and she’s successful, girl, go get your money. But personally, I don’t like that stuff. I’m not a fan.
Nicki Minaj, definitely. Nicki Minaj, to me, I love how she’s built this empire and the girl is really, really talented – one of the best lyricists that I’ve heard in a long time.
Ok but she could've ignored the entire Iggy Azalea situation.
Like she's saying herself: Iggy is doing her thing and getting money.
Good, then why feel the need to bring her up?
Live and let live.
I know she wasn't being disrespectful but these comments are useless as Iggy can rap with any accent/voice she wants. If Nicki starts talking British, do you hear any Brit being offended? It's basically the same, so everyone should stop getting pressed about Iggy.
Another rap artist pressed over Iggy. what else is new?
I've sure you post your opinion on this forum, does that make you pressed? K. respectfully shared her opinion, since when does that equal pressed? Lol.
