While you were sleeping, cup cakin’ or enjoying the holiday weekend, an interesting beef was ensuing between two artists in New Orleans. Long story short, Prince performed at the Essence Festival. Lil Mo, who was also in attendance, took to her Instagram to vent about some shade that took place with the venue’s security. The YBF reports:
In an Instagram post, Mo ranted about being stopped by police and not being able to make her way to the bathroom because Prince was walking through backstage before he went on. She posted:
She deleted the post (above), but later added:
What’s more? Some suggest that Prince actually threw some subliminal Twitter shade, with the post below:
theJasmineBRAND.com spoke with Lil Mo exclusively about the situation.
What REALLY happened with security and/or Prince? Was she taking subliminal shots at the singer’s vocals? How does she feel about some of the backlash? And is she offended by the shade allegedly implied by Prince on Twitter? Check out our conversation.
theJasmineBRAND.com: There have been a number of reports that you shared an unpleasant experience at Essence Festival (over the weekend), that involved Prince’s security. Can you explain the situation?
Lil Mo: I was backstage. The security at the top of the walkway told us to walk through the back.
Lil Mo: Dynamite and I were on the plane. We landed and got a call. I HOLLERED ‘cuz they said Prince said my clothes didn’t match. I was like, ‘OH snap. Purple One got jokes’. That let’s me know he’s human. I have NO problem with him. The security gave a teez to ALOT of people. That was mean and low to treat people that way, but to each his own. Still i RISE.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Side-bar: Have you ever met Prince?
No. I’m scared ‘cuz i heard he don’t let people look at him. And ima PEEK and be turnt lol. I hate meeting people because I’ll just say, ‘hey’, and wonder if they cool and crazy like me. There are VERY few I want to meet that I haven’t. I want to meet R.kelly, Kim Kardashian, Rich Homie Quan, but I’m SHY. I cry when I see Patti Labelle. I hide when I see Kim Burelle. People I admire I act like a mouse around. OMG when i metBrother Naazim Richardson (my fiancé’s trainer) I was so hype. Oh when i met LIL BOOSIE I was sooooo happy. He showed love. I’m weird lol.
theJasmineBRAND.com: Is there anything else that you’d like to add?
Lil Mo: This season of R&B Divas LA airs July 16. It is a GOOD season. OH and I’m apart of MediaTakeOut TV. Babyyyy the children are going to go UP about my opinion. But I mean NO harm. I really like to have fun. Tell Prince call me. But don’t be using that low voice. Tell him I be turnt. And we need to hang out. NO industry BS. Let my kids ask him questions that have NOTHING to do with him being an artist. They gonna want to play in his hair or something. Ya feel me?
