XXLMag.com: Did this new ear for pop music inspire the Lady Gaga record, “Let Them Hoes Fight?”
Trina: That’s a record that came out, but we didn’t actually clear it to come out. I just hate the fact that stuff like that happens. I have a lot of respect for Lady Gaga and being able to work with her meant so much to me and to have it come out like that was just disappointing to me. Jim Jonsin actually reached out to me about being on the record and when I heard the record I went nuts. I love her music. I love how creatively over the top she is. I didn’t get to work with her in the studio personally, but to get to do the record was an honor.
XXLMag.com: You recently brought video vixen-turned-rapper Angel Lola Luv out on stage with you and Nikki Minaj is featured on this album. How do you avoid the cattiness between a lot of females in the rap game?
Trina: I’m just a confident woman. I’m so confident in myself that when I step out I know that I am that bitch. I’m not worried about her to the left or her to the right. We’re missing that unity. We don’t have that because everyone wants everyone to tear apart. This is why there are no categories in awards for female rappers. You can’t just have two artist in the category. You need Trina. You need Nicki Minaj. You need Missy Elliott. You need Eve, Lil’ Kim, Foxy Brown, Remy, Shawnna, Angel Lola Luv, Teyana Taylor, Lil’ Mama. You need everybody in the game that’s doing this.
