Being in the public eye so prominently means that Rick Ross has no shortage of women vying for his attention. The Biggest Boss’ latest lover was up-and-coming artist Cristina Mackey, who’s been on his arm over the past few months at various events around the world. Like most of Ross’ relationships, this fling was relatively short-lived. This was much to the pleasure of his ex and co-parent, Tia Kemp, who’s been in the headlines for throwing shade at both Mackey and her baby daddy.

After their split, it didn’t take long for Kemp to start hurling insults. She called the “Coastin’” artist a “dusty crusty Tweety Bird” last week, prompting Mackey to clap back with some shade of her own. In the meantime, Kemp is focusing on building her brand and telling her story, even ambitiously aiming for an interview with Gayle King. As HipHopDX reports, the social media star ran into the journalist while running errands recently, and had no insecurities about approaching her.

“Hi Gayle, I need to come on your show. You just don’t know who I am,” Kemp said. “What would we be talking about?” King responded before cutting the interaction short. Regardless of the rejection, Rozay’s ex still posted the footage on Instagram. “We go talk about everything, Get Me There,” she wrote in her caption.

Gayle King might not be willing to sit down with Tia Kemp just yet, but the 69-year-old has become accustomed to sharing details of her personal life with the world. Not so long ago she admitted to previously giving a man she was involved with child support money for his family. This ultimately gave her a bad case of the ick. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Tia would be an appropriate interview subject for Gayle in the comments.

GloRilla says that when she first started rapping, she would try to make her voice sound higher pitched. Speaking with The Cut for a new interview, GloRilla explained that she “wanted to sound like a girl.”

“When I first started rapping,” she tells the outlet. “I wanted to sound like a girl.”

From there, she recalled how, during her teen years, her voice began to change. She blames it on picking up smoking. One time, she was in the studio trying to raise her voice, and her friends quickly called her out.

“They were like, ‘You really got bars. Your voice just sound squeaky,’” she says. “I was like, ‘Oh, okay, let me just put emphasis on what I already sound like, just add a lil bit more sauce to it.’”

Eventually, she gained the confidence to rap with a more natural voice. The turning point was showcased on 2021’s “OOOHH” and “Gang Nem.” Eventually, she catapulted into mainstream success with her breakthrough single, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go).” She dropped the track with Hitkidd in 2022. The song is up for Best Rap Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

Later in the interview with The Cut, GloRilla expressed her excitement about attending the ceremony, next month.

“I’m super-excited and super-nervous because a lot of people don’t get to go to the Grammys, you know what I’m saying?” she says. “But I’m just super-grateful. And it happened to me super fast. I’m still taking it all in.”

Although excited, she also admits she’s still “trying to slowly get myself to liking the red carpet.”

“I’m not a good picture-taker,” she explains.
