R&B veteran Lil Mo visited Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club this morning for a hilarious interview. During her interview, Lil Mo spoke candidly about her role on TV’s R&B Divas: LA, her vocal ability, her break from the music industry, and her thoughts on other R&B singers (Keyshia Cole, Ashanti, Keri Hilson, Olivia).
She also revealed her past struggles with record labels (not getting paid for singing hooks), learning more about the music industry, her brother-sister relationship with Fabolous, and much more.
Read excerpts from Lil Mo’s interview below.
On her break from the music industry:
I felt like I was being consumed. When I first came out, right after I got married and stuff like that, then I got divorced. Just seeing my kids. I didn’t wanna miss them growing up. I said I can always dip back in. I tried the indie thing–that didn’t work.
On not getting paid for singing on Ja Rule’s songs:
At first when I was younger, I use to blame it on them. That’s their admin department. And no I never got a check; not even got paid. I stayed faithful, really to the game.
On Keyshia Cole’s comments about Michelle Williams:
I don’t have an issue with her. I felt some type of way, she shaded Michelle first. I feel like when you try to attack (what you think is) the weakest link, be careful. Why are you tryna come for her? She’s at the Superbowl. B*tch you ain’t there. It’s all about how you delivered. You start naming names, you make yourself a target. She’s not gonna say it nobody’s face.
