The former Terror Squad member and Lean Back lyricist, called into Angie Martinez’s New York radio show Power 105, from prison to discuss her long awaited return to Hip Hop, and her admiration for fellow female MC Nicki Minaj.

She said,

“Nicki has always been a supporter and vice versa. I like what she does. She’s done wonderful things for females, but I just wish there was more of them. I don’t know what they’re doing; they’re letting these guys take over.”
