Eager to learn more about the singer and the truth behind the music, we sat down with the triple-threat queen herself for a little more insight into the release of this incredible project.
“The album “I Did It to Me” was Executive Produced by Dennis McKinley and features many super mega producers and songwriters.”
“This album was truly inspired by my life. My journey of heartbreak and healing. This album was about my therapy and my diary, which is why it’s so personal to me. I literally poured my heart and soul into this project.”
Q. Your record “Good Girl Bad Bitch” has received a lot of positive feedback online. The record has an uplifting tone and touches on the topic of women empowerment. Tell us, how therapeutic and powerful did it feel to record that specific record?
“Good Girl Bad Bitch is so empowering and solid. I’m literally saying everything you would never imagine or could say on a record generally. It’s very blunt with no filter at all and gives women the freedom to stand strong and move on after heartbreak.”
Q. Your album has a lot of R&B aesthetics as well as a few hints of pop and dance records in the mix. How did you go about narrowing down the songs for this titled project?
“It was so difficult to narrow down songs on my album. I kept going back to the drawing board to the track list multiple times.”
“I focused on including the records I felt told my journey and my story. There were some gems that didn’t make the album, so I’m hoping to still release all of them on my upcoming Deluxe Album.”
Q. You seem to be the center of discussion during season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Tell us, how has appeared on the show impacted your personal life and relationships?
“RHOA has been an interesting ride and comes with a lot of ups and downs. You see us disagree, argue, throw our shade and at times come together and mend our relationships.”
“Unfortunately, everything is not perfect and y’all have watched me navigate my marriage and the fallout of that, which has been extremely difficult for me.”
Q. You wear many hats and have proven to be a woman of many talents. As an actress, singer, TV personality and mother… how do you manage your day-to-day life without always feeling overwhelmed?
“I work to create a flow to my life. Whatever I’m working on, I’m completely present to that. So, when I’m with my kids, I’m completely focused and present with them. When I’m working, I’m completely present, putting 100 percent into that as well.”
“I extend more grace with myself and patience knowing that everything will work out exactly how it’s supposed to. I’ve recently focused on a lot of self-care and prayer, which has been essential to my overall mental and holistic health.”
Q. You recently performed at LA Pride weekend in Los Angeles, California. Tell us, what is your definition of pride and what was that experience like for you, connecting with the community?
“Pride, to me, is about authenticity and visibility. It’s a celebration without fear, shame, or apology. It’s a reminder that being different doesn’t mean being less. It’s a space where love, identity, and self-expression are not just accepted, but celebrated.“
“Performing for the community during Pride was deeply meaningful. It wasn’t just a performance, it was a connection full of love, joy, and affirmation. The energy from the crowd was incredibly powerful.”
“We were dancing and singing together, and it was a reminder of the importance of visibility and connection. It wasn’t just about entertaining for me, but about being part of something bigger, a healing and celebration!”
Q. Trumps administration has proposed that pride month should be removed and replaced with “Title IX month” to focus on women’s rights and education. What is your stance on this proposal?
“Yes, with the Trump administration proposal, may leave some feeling unseen or erased. It can ignite feelings of exclusion, rather than inclusion and unity. Pride Month isn’t just a celebration, its visibility, recognition, and acceptance.”
“Its removal or sidelining can feel like a step backward. It will be important to come together and figure out how to push forward and continue to create and stand together in power.”
Q. While being in LA for Pride weekend, you got to witness the riots and chaos that took place surrounding Trumps deportation attack. Tell us, what was that experience like, seeing the protestors in action?
“Being in Los Angeles for Pride weekend was supposed to be a celebration of love, identity, and freedom. But this year, the streets told a different story, and the mood shifted.”
“What began as colorful joy quickly transformed into righteous anger. I witnessed a sea of people from allies, immigrants, and activists united by urgency, not just pride. The chants rang louder than the music. Signs read things like “No Pride in Deportation,” and “We’re Not Going Quietly.”
“There was pure chaos of a community pushed too far, standing its ground. Police presence escalated. I saw people forming human chains, protecting undocumented individuals. Some had encounters with officers and others simply stood firm, waving rainbow flags like shields.”
“It felt like history was happening in real time. What struck me the most was the amount of fearlessness.”
“Protesters weren’t just there to resist a policy, but they were there to defend lives. They reminded America that Pride was born in protest, and they would continue to fight for their rights.”
“I honestly left changed…more aware and more committed. Pride will always be a celebration, but it’s never been just that. It’s a fight for dignity, for everyone.”
Q. We can all use a little more love and support from one another during these trying times. What words of encouragement could you share with our readers about the significance of spreading love and positivity?
“In moments like these when the world feels heavy, uncertain, and divided, we’re reminded just how deeply we need each other.”
“Love isn't just a feeling, it's a force. It heals, uplifts, protects, and connects. Spreading love and positivity isn't about ignoring the pain or pretending everything is okay.”
“It's about choosing kindness even when it’s hard andreminding others they’re not alone. It can be a smile, hug and a message that says; I see you; I care and I’m here.”
“Every time we lift someone up and we stand beside someone feeling unseen, we’re building something stronger… we're building community.”
“If you’re tired, afraid, or feeling small…remember you do matter, your light is needed, and your love has power.”
“Let’s keep showing up for each other, not just during Pride, but every single day. Love loudly. Love fiercely. Never stop believing in a future where everyone belongs.”
Q. You’re currently promoting season 2 of “Mind Your business,” a TV series on Bounce TV. What can you share with our readers about the show in terms of what they can expect for season 2?
“I’m so excited for the return of my show ‘Mind Your Business’! Season 2 is a wild ride. It’s bolder, funnier and more intentional, with the humor dialed up and heartfelt family moments deepened.”
“Our on-screen chemistry is stronger, thanks to off-screen bonds which translate into authentic laughs and emotionally resonant scenes.”
“ This season leans deeper into representation, giving space to Black youth, diverse family models, and real conversations around sexuality and identity.”
“Mind Your Business is all about love, legacy, and laughter…all while reminding us that family and community can thrive even through chaos.”
