How is it working with Diddy? On "Making The Band", let's just say he doesn't make himself out to be the easiest guy to work with. I'm sure he never made you walk to Brooklyn to get cheesecake, but is he really the hard-nosed guy we see on MTV or is he a big softie once you get to know him?

He’s not the easiest person to work with, but at the end of the day he’s very focused and very driven. That can be a little intense at times and that can be misconstrued into making him look like not the nicest person. But when there’s a job to do and you’re in control of a million different things, being nice is not always the objective, getting the job done is the objective. He is a very intense guy and for television it’s amped up a lot. It’s television and they’re seeking ratings and a lot of those situations could seem a little crazy because you have to try to fit them into that hour or that thirty minutes, or however long Making The Band is. At the end of the day there’s a job to be done, somebody’s gotta be the overseer and he is it.

The walking for cheesecake was just a metaphor. It’s like what will you sacrifice in order to attain this dream that you want? It don’t come easy for everybody and here it is just being presented to you. Here you have the opportunity of a lifetime that people have scraped and struggled for for years and now this opportunity has just fallen into your lap. What are you willing to sacrifice for it? I never walked for cheesecake but had I been asked to do it. I probably would have done it too because that’s how bad I want it. That’s how bad I wanna be a superstar and that’s how bad I want my music out there. So in that respect I don’t think he did it to be mean. Walking a few miles to go grab cheesecake for somebody who’s about to give you the opportunity of a lifetime is a small price to pay for all the blessings that come with this job.

You’re being marketed as the goddess of Bad Boy. Do you really feel that is an accurate title for yourself?

I think that my personality is very goddess like. I wouldn’t necessary say that I’m a glamour girl all the time. I’m kind do of like a sexy tomboy. I like being comfortable. If I wake up in the morning and I feel like sneakers I put sneakers on; if I wake up in the morning and I feel like flats I put on flats; or if I feel like heels I wear heels. I didn’t self-proclaim myself that either. It started out as a joke. A friend of mine who works at Daddy’s House, the studio—they kept saying the princess of Bad Boy. He was like “Everybody’s the princess of something. I think you should be the goddess,” and it kind of just stuck.

When I met you at BET’s Rip the Runway event you had braces on which is so cute. What made you get the braces?

I’ve actually had them on for the last four years. I was at the last stage and they gave me Invisalign. The fact that I was able to take them out I never put them in. So my teeth stated to shift back. Now I have to wear them for like seven months again just to fix what I messed up.
