I don’t know about you but back in the day I was a huge fan of  the girl group Xscape and when they broke up I was so hurt. I remember hearing the rumors behind their break-up and being so disappointed…. thinking to myself “not another great group broken up because of drama”. According to former member of Xscape Tameka, Kandi was the culprit responsible for the dismantle of the group. A few years ago, Tameka went on Hot97 and said that Kandi slept with producer Jermaine Dupri and that’s when things begin to take a turn for the worst.

Recently during an interview with radio host Angela Yee, Kandi decided to finally open up about being involved with Jermaine Dupri and how she felt about Tameka blasting her on the the radio.

Kandi on having sex with Jermaine Dupri

“But just like anybody, sometimes you can work with people and you be like, hmm I wonder how he is in the bedroom, you know, and you just try it out… we hung out, we was friends, like playing pool, talking trash and then you know you hear somebody say yeah I’m a beast, I’m this, I’m that, you know how you can be around your friends talking about sex or whatever and then you be thinking like, I wonder is it that good, you know? Let’s be realistic, it wasn’t me trying to get anything out of the situation. We already had hit records. We already had hits. It wasn’t like I was trying to do it to get somewhere. It was just out of curiosity.”

On her reaction to Tameka Scott blasting her on the radio

When she did that it was really kinda foul to me and that’s really the reason why I would never go back to the group because when somebody just straight lies…and then she tried to add some whole other stuff that was totally false. When I had talked to her after it happened and she called to apologize to me, I said you know what, you call and apologizing to me but you went on radio in NY to say this about me so everything that you put out there, nobody knows you apologizing right now. Apologize publicly if you want me to take this seriously. Don’t say it to me after you done put all this craziness out there about me.”

Hmmmm…honestly I don’t think that Jermaine Dupri would be someone that I would be curious about…but  hey whatever floats your boat. I’m surprised that she didn’t just deny the incident all together. On the other hand, I don’t know… I’ve never met the man and I’m thinking if he got Janet Jackson maybe there is something about him when you meet him in person that makes the physical disappear. Whatever it is, it broke up a group at the height of their career…now that’s a mess!

Looks like Lil’ Kim has been doing more than talking trash about Nicki Minaj, recently the rapper has been named the new spokesperson for Three Olives Vodka, the newest edition to Vodka’s 18 signature flavors. YRB had an opportunity to speak with Lil’ Kim at her Three OlivesVodka photo shoot and this is what she had to say:

On how she became the Spokesperson for Three Olives
[Three Olives] built the campaign around me, which I thought was really great. That was really awesome. I was really honored. I was amazed they even thought of me. That was [number] one. A lot of times my management finds things, but I would say 90% out of 100%, these things come to me. I’m blessed.

Lil Kim on if she knew she’d one day be a brand
Well, I always knew that I was different. I always knew that I wasn’t going to come into the industry and just be labeled as a “female rapper.” I never even saw myself as just a female rapper, because I know that one thing I do very well is entertain. My mama always told me that, ever since I was a little girl. I would put on her shoes and put on her lipstick and stand in front of the mirror with my brush singing. I always knew that when I came into the industry I would elevate. I didn’t know a lot of the things that came to me would come. I thank God for it; I feel blessed. I can only be myself and do what I do the best. So yeah if that means something as wonderful and gracious as Three Olives Vodka comes my way, I’m gonna jump on it because that’s the direction I want to go in. I want to be universal, and that’s the one thing I feel also about Three Olives vodka is that everyone can enjoy it.

On her new book
I have my new book; it’s called The Price Of Loyalty – how ironic, right? It’s with St. Martin’s Press. We want to launch everything together so the fans have something to continuously pick up. It tells a story. A lot of times my story gets cut short [laughs]

Below are pics from her photo shoot:

Wow! Can we say…coke bottle?
