Love and Hip Hop star talks to RealityAired.com about her weight loss journey, music, breast reduction surgery and she also shares her thoughts on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta
Q: What made you finally go through with the surgery?
A: “I’ve been living with this for years. I just got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t really want to talk about it. That was a big part of my mom telling me that she thought it would be very uplifting for women, that’s what I’m all about. I think that women who get breast implants, who want big boobs, don’t fully understand what people like myself go through. Girls who want to enhance, it’s such a different movement than people who live with them. I have permanent bra scars on my shoulder blades. It gets really tiring. I could never close my blazers. Running was never an option for me. I’m glad I did it. Everything scared me about it, the pain, the scars. I was never worried what men thought about it because I just don’t care (laughs). I would have rather guys just stop looking at me unless they were my gay boys. Actually, when I was filming “Love & Hip Hop” I had talked to the show about it and they were like “What!?””
Q: How was the recovery process?
A: “I thought it was going to hurt more than it did for the first two days, I think it was because of a lot of numbing medicine. I could never do anything by myself. I had a nurse and a relative with me at all times. The one time I got up to go to the bathroom by myself I felt like someone was stabbing me repeatedly in the breasts. I thought I popped my stitches. I was crying for like 3 hours. That was really tough. I literally thought I was going to die. In that moment I regretted doing it. It was really scary. But I’m fine now.”
Q: How has your style changed?
A: “I’ve always wanted to wear so many things and I couldn’t especially dresses and t-shirts. All buttoned down shirts would never button all the way. A simple t-shirt fits very well now.”
Q: How much weight have you lost so far?
A: “I’m trying to stay away from the scale, I’m trying to check by inches. But that last time I checked I lost 25 pounds.”
Q: Will you be appearing on Season 3 of “Love & Hip Hop”?
A: I’m not prepared to answer that question yet but no one’s coming back man! (laughs)I think we all mesh well whether we had beef or not. Now there’s a majorly differently tone going on now. That’s pretty much going to be very obvious when Season 3 comes around. You know the producers know what they’re doing, so I’m sure they’ll find some other interesting stories that other people might be interested in watching.
Q: What do you think about “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta”?
A: “I’m rooting for my girl Rasheeda. I’m glad she’s getting the shine she deserves. We’ve done a record together and she’s a really good person. I don’t really know how people mix over there in Atlanta. It better be good! (haha)”
Q: On the last season of “Love & Hip Hop” we saw you give a pair of shoes to Olivia. What’s your relationship like with her now?
A: “There is no relationship with her. Her arrogance won’t allow it. Her and her manager keep talking negatively about me.”
Q: What about you and Chrissy?
A: “People didn’t get to see me and Chrissy make peace because they didn’t want to show that. Me and Chrissy are cool. I don’t have beef with her.”
Q: How has your brand evolved since going on the show?
A: “Something that was always disappointing for me was me having to fight to have them show my Latin roots. I was not allowed to show the full potential of my brand. I now have a real management firm. I have a whole team and a label. It has been a really good stepping-stone for me to reach out to the companies I want to work with…There are no shenanigans or funny business from my team now.”
