“As solo artists, we are three different people. People can’t expect us all to take the same route as solo artists or enjoy the same kind of success. Victoria [Beckham] has a different route to Mel B, Mel B has a different route to Geri, and so on. We all have different paths, cause we’re all different people. I’m more of an intimate person anyway; I like playing smaller and more intimate venues. People can’t expect me to be Beyoncé or Beyoncé to be me or me to be Michelle or whatever! Just allow us to be ourselves! The Lord brought Michelle and me into B’s life and look what kind of heights we’ve soared to.” ....."People see how positive we are as women and as friends, and instead of them learning from that, they wanna hate on it. I have no time for that kind of negative thinking. People should be happy to see women getting along and working together, without being insecure about each other. It doesn’t have to be drama, but people always wanna create drama! I don’t even let that bother me. 'Cause people will continue to talk and we’ll just continue selling records.”
“When I got engaged and announced that, it became a media riot. So I feel like the next time anybody will know anything about me, as far as relationships are concerned, I’ll be married! I learned that I shouldn’t allow my past to affect my present. I didn’t grow up with my biological father and I think that girls who grow up in that situation can sometimes grow up looking for daddy. So I think it’s important to know who your father is. For me, Beyoncé’s father is like my father. When we’re all at home, Matthew treats me like his little girl. But for girls who grow up without a father figure, I think it’s important for them to know their self worth so they don’t look for the wrong things when they grow up and start to forge relationships.”.....“I wouldn’t shun it, but I’m not gonna force it or allow people to push me in that direction. If it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen.”(CLICK PIC TO SEE ITS HQ VERSION)
Miami rapper Trina graces the February 2008 cover of Sister 2 Sister magazine. In her interview, the self-proclaimed 'Baddest Bitch' candidly opened up and discussed how she was able to move on and mend her heart after her much publicized breakup with rapper Lil Wayne. (Just remember that the following quotes are her exact words, not mine. Therefore and thus and such, good luck trying to decipher what the hell she was talking about). She also revealed her current relationship status as well as a certain Destiny's Child (who she refers to as her 'favorite') member she hopes to work with in the near future and why she has the utmost respect for her. Trina is definitely back and ready to re-introduce herself as the 'Baddest Bitch....Reloaded.' And she has a special message for all of her loyal fans. Check out the excerpts below.
A relationship can sometimes damage your mind and just everything about you as a person. I'm human and I do hurt and I do cry and I do get emotional, and to be able to get over it and get on with my life and put myself in a better place, that's a great feeling. There's no hurt that I feel like I can endure that I haven't already endured. I think that if it hurts and you endure losing someone, then as far as breaking up or falling in and out of love, I think that's a part of life. It's a true statement how sometimes love can turn into hate or sometimes you feel love and you can fall out of love. It's important to get yourself back together and to get things back in perspective--to really know that this is life and life happens, and nothing lasts forever no matter how much you want it to."
"I wish my father wasn't the manager, so people would just stop attacking me. Whenever something goes wrong with the group, it's my fault. Somebody left the group, it's Beyonce's fault."
