Khia says that the popularity of her “My Neck, My Back” song led to a number of offers for collaborations, something she is typically against.
“I don’t like collaborating with artists,” the Florida rapper says during an interview with Billboard. “But I love Trick [Daddy]. When he called I was like, ‘No, I’m not gonna do it.’ Too $hort and Lil’ Kim had called and wanted me to get on their songs. Her’s was about pussy or something. When Too $hort called me, his song was like, ‘My nuts, my sack, my dick…’ I was like, ‘What?’ People thought I was some stripper chick and nasty all the time. And, here people come asking me to be on songs when it’s about balls, ass, or pussy. I told Too $hort that I wasn’t doing the song and he got offended. I told Kim I wasn’t doing her song and she got offended. That was 10 years ago. There’s no beef. People were approaching me with very vulgar songs. When Trick called it was like, ‘I like Trick! Let me hear it.’ When I heard it it wasn’t that bad. I wrote it in 20-minutes.”
Ultimately, though, Khia was pleased with neither her Trick Daddy collaboration, 2004’s “J.O.D.D.,” nor her Janet Jackson collaboration, “So Excited.”
“When it came down for cross promotion, [Trick Daddy] did me the same Janet Jackson did me, and didn’t have me in the video. They edited me out for the video. We shot for two days and all of the stuff ended up getting edited out because they didn’t want to share the spotlight. If you call me to be featured on the song, I think we should cross-promote and be able to perform together. So keep your shit [and] don’t call me.
“I pretty much had to sue Janet Jackson,” Khia continues. “I have it in my contract now that I will be a part of cross-promotion, even if it’s just a song. I handled the situation with Janet. It just taught me to have everything written in contracts.”
In the Billboard story, Khia also discusses her relationship with Gucci Mane, who has been battling drug addition and has been arrested several times in the last several years.
“I knew Gucci before he was this huge artist,” Khia says. “He’d come through a club I had all the time to perform. I got to know him before he changed. The industry has changed him. No one is going to get to know the beautiful side I did. He’s too far gone. I think he was high when he was tweeting. He was speaking the truth. It may be the people he’s around or drugs that he’s on. Sometimes money or environment changes people. I think his team is not good and he doesn’t have any positive reinforcement. I reached out to him a few times, but I haven’t seen him since we did, ‘What They Do,’ [which] was 2008. When he did that he was on some type of drug. I don’t know what he took to trip him out. When we did that song, I can tell something was off. Something’s been off since then. If you were to ask me, as a close friend, I don’t think he recovered well when he ended up having to shoot someone… and it wasn’t intentional. I think he was scared for his life and someone ended up getting murdered. I don’t think he’s recovered from that and I don’t think he ever will. It changed him.”
“I have it in my contract now that I will be a part of cross-promotion, even if it’s just a song. I handled the situation with Janet. It just taught me to have everything written in contracts.”……………now no one thinks about you lol
This bitch suckd my D-#!K in 2008

I quit working at shoprite to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $45 to 85 per/h. Without a doubt, this is the easiest and most financially rewarding job I’ve ever had. I actually started 6 months ago and this has totally changed my life………….http://x.co/4ALCM

According to Jeezy diss song “Stay Strapped”, Gucci Mane did some time in mental health facility when he was younger.
GUWOPTIMUS PRIME FEARS NO MAN OR LADY
Who the fuck does this bitch think she is to turn down those collabs? I never fuckin heard of her maybe if she had done those she woulda gotten more exposure the deluded cunt
didn’t u read the article, she don’t give a fuck bout doing collaborations. why u so mad for bruh?
The rap/hip Hop industry is cutthroat & shady af…same as practically every music genre there is & the trifling isn’t limited to just music. Sadly the entire entertainment industry has been corrupt from the start. Narchopathy is a hybrid produced when Narcissism & Psychopathy breed & the most common symptoms of greed & selfishness has damaged to much for too many, for way to long. People don’t understand that when we leave earth, our money becomes worthless because it is no longer accepted & who knows how long until earth faces that sobering reality as well.
I rarely comment on here as, well- most of you guys are dicks- but I just wanna say that this woman obviously has a lot of integrity. And that it is also nice to read positive statements from rappers instead of reading negative press. Ya bitches you…
agreed this was a good one
Gucci’s style used to be fun and that changed to a way more serious tone now. I think after almost getting killed he felt he had to make it which is why he has soo many good mixtapes. Obviously the industry was fake to him when he got his deal and he became a loner and drugged up. Sad cause Gucci really is a special rapper to all the people who’ve like him since like 05
I know this is going to get hate from dickheads who’re ignorant to his music and think no one should like him because they like Lupe Fiasco and are against anything different or whatever.
I agree. That’s I like Gucci’s music. Because it was hilarious and comic relief. Also I think him killin Jeezy’s goon Pookie Loc has affected him a whole lot. That’s why he probably stay geeked up to escape and numb the pain.
I remember this bitch from back in the day, her throat game was on point.
damn I never looked at it that way. that shit probably do hunt him…..and it’s a good reason to abuse these drugs to deal with it…
What the is Khia talkin about???? Have you heard her albums? They are nastier than Lil Kims. She is so full of it. I think she is nuts because she is not in the same world. She believes what her mind tells her. Its really sad. I had got all her cds, Every hook was BiT&* and Ho. Dont believe me? youtube her. her lyrics are weak and nasty. I cant believe people still interview her.
