I definitely feel like I came out a time where it was like you have to have sex appill like you said, you came up off the Nikki era and that was really an inspiration. And even she has come out and said that she felt that pressure to get her body done. Did you feel the pressure to get your body or do you have any enhancements? Yes? I do, and um yeah, I definitely did, and I actually got

my body done before I got into the music. But I was just in that world where it's like you're not really looked at in that in that industry, do not really look at it. Let you look like this like in like I'm saying exactly so, I feel like that started off and name kind of is the same thing in the music industry, like people just want you to look way better or this bad the third and I think that definitely came from That's quite pressure. I

pressure myself into that quarrel with me. You know, bt so no real color what we see whole getting ready about the be something. But you can't stand on the home SUI. I already know he came ball with me because you have let up with a squad to me, they get as they called to me, Welcome to the Baller Show. Podcasts available everywhere you get your podcasts. I go by the name fer Our Simmons. Hey, y'all, world, up your best Tisu solo. Let's see team with that

Chinese Kitties whatever. This wasn't schedule. Literally, you are here. I am here. Yes. What brings Chinese Kitty to at lant Well? First of all, for those who don't know who is Chinese Kitty, Chinese Katie is a artist, female rapper, mother, and businesswoman. Let me ask you, do you feel like you have to say female rapper no, because I literally

just had this conversation yesterday. I'm like, um, I feel like women should just be at a point where we just say I'm rapper totally, but you know, sometimes already like it better than your head, so I say it, but yeah, it's a rapper. Before you get the name Chinese Kitty from um, well, I am part Chinese. Um my last name is King, so a lot of people just tease me back in the day, so I always have to tell him I was Chinese black. And then m Kitty is just a name I've always had because

it was like mysterious. People used to always say I was mysterious or whatever, and I just stufp with that, so weeople should call me Kitty. So I was just one day on Instagram was like, I'm gonna put it all together and just a Chinese kid. I definitely thought it was more sexual, Like I'm about to say everybody, it's sexual, But I mean, that's what I'm going to think right now, I guess because like you said, you have such a feminine sexy or about it. I think you, yeah,

I know that's not what it is. Your mind together exactly ahead. I was gonna say I was knowning you for a while and I've definitely been seeing you even transition into the music. When I first met you, music wasn't the focused point. No, music was not. Music has always been the focus point, but music was something that I was a little shaky, okay to get into. Okay, So I was saying, okay, let's say that it wasn't the main thing that we talked about. Yeah, okay, I

guess I said, what were you doing before music? I was at first, I was in a nightlife. I used to bartend. So I started out at like the club call Starlets. A lot of people know I'm so popular. I feel like there's so many persons knowledgies that came out of Startling. Yeah, came out of Starlars. I mean, I know a Hardy came out of that. I was a bartender. This was there was an Asian bartender who went viral who worked at Starlars. Oh, I think Gracie, Gracie,

and it just so many of them. Yeah, there's a lot of girls that mar name. So I definitely like started from there. Shout out to Blaze, Yeah, sh out to Startlets. When I offered Hardy d's in them. Yeah, okay, yeah, Because when I first I met you, you extremely popular. I was a DC, was tip DC. I was like, how is she so popular? But then we discovered you did music? So when did you say, you know what, I'm gonna be an artist, I'm gonna be a rapper? What may did you say? This is what I do?

So a lot of people don't know that I grew up around music my whole entire life because my dad and my mom's boys in industry my moments and worked for the Source magazine, so she literally had us there every time we get home from school. She was take to work with there. You see all these celebrities all day long. And then sending with my dad, he found a lot of artists facting like Joe Budding Bad same

miss he man the low key guy. Huh he was managing. No, he actually like sound them and like he was like muscling them around and got them with DJ Clue and then they got a deal and they had like a whole thing called this Stopping around was my whole entire life. And then when I got around like seventeen eighteen, I was like doing my own thing. So I got a nightlife, wanted to be outside. Then I was like, you know what I need to go to what I've always known

and which was music. Literally I've grown up with nephew, but music and to me being cute pretty like Instagram was just now coming out side start taking pictures and stuff. So it just happened that way. But then when I had my son, I was like, I gotta say, my life serious, So what is it that we're gonna do? And I was like, music, Did you call on your dad because he's already had to come at first he was like I was just like to ask, like, where you go, honest head dad about it? Yes, I came

to him. I already made the song, my first track ever, already made the song and I played it for them and it was like what is this? Oh no, nobody even was so bad. It was so terrible. But in that they were like, yo, your voice, so the song you made me to come up with some better bars, but your voice definitely stand out. Maybe you should try it again. And then I just started practicing more, practicing, practicing, studying my verse, studying better word play, studying how to

embody myself as an artist. And that's how I would you pull the inspiration from when you made that first track? Who was you listening to to like kind of lean on at that time? It was nothing but nicky for me, Okay nothing. Why didn't you go to your dad before you made the song? Because he's not one of them. He's not me. He's not one of those people that he just gonna just go off what you say. He

got to really see pinning work like. He is one of those people that he don't play about nothing in life. So if this is not anything for fun his child or not, he was like that good impactly signed independent? I am independent right now. I'm actually signed to my own label, which Kitty Game Music, and okay, yes I do do I deal go example Empire, So we got our own little plays. When I'm about to drop a

song and stuff like that. It's like distribution through them. Yeah, okay, do you want to sign other artists to your label or yeah? That's exactly why I made it. I could get some more female artists, you know, for the focus is yeah, it's female for me. Yeah okay, oh yeah for me, and it's Kitty Game Music. I mean I don't want to be signed today. I mean you never know. It could be someone like a sausage Santana like yeah to RUPs that so gay. Not your mom is extremely popular,

I know, said your dad has come. Not one of them mom's is popping pop interviewing your mom like yeah, yeah, she came to the station. No my mommy outside she got no. I tell you, yeah, I tell I remember, tell you. I was like, oh, I have mama Chinese Kitty in here. Chinese Nikki is her name now real day? Yes? Okay, god, yeah it was Chinese Nikki. I remember. I was like, damn she first of all, y'all was just like we do and she still lit turned up. Yeah, I was

gonna be that. That's how I got into that, you know what I'm saying, Like she's one of those people that she's just gonna go get her her whole, like so she pushes in all her kids, go be a go get her or it's like you have no other answer when you come home. You get what I'm saying. So, like all of us are into different things. How many sibls do you have. It's a lot of us on My stepdad has, which is my dad by the way, he has three kids and then it's four of us, okay,

so we all intertwined. So going back to you being independent, did your parents, you know, help you with that or they are more on the I should be with a major label, but I feel like for me, obviously the opportunity has came, but I just wanted to be set up in the right way and I want to be with people that's for me and not just gonna shelve me or just send the third And I want to get to a place where I'm comfortable in my music that I know that whatever I sign is gonna be

the right deal for me. So where have you learn so far? Being independent? Business wise? There's a lot. Music is a lot. I don't know why people think that it's easy. It is not, because when you're doing everything yourself, you gotta grind ten times more than you want to make your label. You get what I'm saying, because it's a lot of things you gotta pay for, like producers and splay. It's saying, um, studio, you gotta look good, hair, makeup, all that. So it's it's a lot. It's a lot.

But I know that where I'm going with it, that it's blessed to succomb. Do you point there's a lot of pressure all women to look good or look a certain type of way, especially in hip hop, Yes, because they always say, like, you know, sexy hill selves, and then if you're overly sexy, then it's like, oh no, you know what I'm saying. But then it really just depends on the person. Because you got girls like Sukihanna, and then you got girls like like really Rose, I

feel always slim. Oh yeah, you're right, and yeah, I think now it's more like you could be whoever you want to be. I feel like it was a sex yeah exactly. Yeah, I do too. I feel like it was a certain standard at one point, but when you got a game, you felt that pressure. Yes, definitely. I definitely feel like I came out a time where it was like you have to have sexes. Oh they don't think SEXI pill is though, Like like I think they're first of all, sexy pill is relative. What sex to

the one person might not be sexy to the next. Like, but I feel like for some reason, hip hop there was this expectation that our women had to be super hourglass, small waists, big breast, big butt, Like it was like very precise what they felt like colored women ship look like versus any other race. True, very true to your point. You know, like you said, you came up off the Nikki era and that was really an inspiration. And even she has come out and said that she felt that

pressure to get her body done. Did you feel the impresure to get your body or did you have any enhancements? I yes, I do, and um yeah, I definitely did, and I actually got my body downe before I got into the music. But I was just in that world where it's like you're not really looked at in that in that industry and not really looked at. Let you look like this like it's like learning what I'm saying exactly.

So I feel like that started off and name kind of it's the same thing in the music industry, like people just want you to look better or this. That the third and I think that definitely came from that pressure. I pressure myself into that being you're so popular and loving hippop artists. Does that take a toll on your personal life? Is you know, how does uh mis challenge kid? You have time to be in a relationship. I barely do. So are you talking to anybody are you? Are you single?

In a situationship? Situationship? I'm in a situation young man, young woman? What a young man with a young man is a situationship? Up? It's complicated because it's like we come from two different world because he's in the industry. Not in the industry mind like no law no, like not as an entertainment. What does he do at your side? Yeah? I said, a brand, it's the way. But he holds it down and for me, like he is supportive for me, especially all the craziness. Guy, No, he's not okay, but

he just don't try to follow him on social media. Now. That's so we blocked each other on each other's blocks. Yeah, but I still follow him from fake face shows. I don't know. That's right. That's going on. So you feel pressure like in nightlife and then I know it was intensified, you know obviously, like the more popular you become, the blocks are picking it up. You're on TV. Yeah, how do you date with that pressure? That's what I'm saying.

It's a lot. It's a lot, and that's why I do like them with the guy that I'm in a situationship with now. But we're not like officially dating. Well, I'm not exclusive. I can't explain it. It's like one of them. It's a situation a girlfriend. You I am a great girlfriend. I get playing places that I can't control, Like the internet will say it this, and the say is that he's watching it like you could be in a student with such a such and that may get

blown out of it exactly. So that's why I then it'll be like, oh, well we're not together, and it's just too much, too much, that's my point. It's too much sometimes dating being a girl like me. Speaking of a girl like you. Roads mentioned love and hip hop, which up. You were on Miami Front Miami for one season and then I probably did like two episodes on the second season. But to answer the question that I know you're probably gonna ask, I hated it. I don't know.

I didn't like that you left. I liked you on. I'm definitely a reality really star person. I'm not. I'm not a reality TV. Yeah, Like it's my toxic thing like it might be. It's like late night, I'm like, oh, I need a little fakes real quick before I go to bed, and I'll just like turn on something and I definitely felt that it was heavy for you. I felt that you first of all, I think you just intimidate and a lot of people, whether it was just

your looks, your personality, your confidence. Like I think the way that some people came at you, it kind of seemed like it was out of nowhere. That's what I'm saying. That's like I couldn't. I couldn't do it because I'm like, I don't even know any of you people, Like my mom was living in Miami. I was still living in New York. That my mom lived at in Miami. Someone had reached out to her. I was like, yo, I know you have your daughter. Would you think she would

come to Miami and do the show? The both of you guys get on it, And I was like, you know, I didn't have anything going on. I was just working, So I was like, all right, cool, And then it was just a whole different ball game of things I didn't even ask for or what expect it. If you was on New York, you were leave New Dream and I wouldn't known everybody that you know, that opportunity didn't come. So at the moment, I was like, Okay, let me take this, and I mean, I know they ain't blending them.

Now would you ever like the blending what they have? Like the reunions and stuff like that, like good I don't like throwing unions. I like the actual, like seasons in the city. I like to see y'all move around like me, people that y'all know. But did you feel that your short time I love and hip hop did it help you? Hurt you? I feel like it just brought me a bunch of followers that just sit there and watch me. Honest, anything I built off music, I feel like I built off the music like I have not.

I don't think that anything came from them the hip hop for my music, and I stand strongly behind that. Would you go back? No, what if it was New York? But why would you do your all reality show? Yes? I do my own TV show with me and my friends, my family, the kid because listen, my life is a lot within itself. I have crazy friends, I have a crazy family, crazy mom. All of that. It's just a music.

I do have a question. I'm a mental health person and I talked about this all the time, and I wanted to ask you because we talked about a whole bunch of things mentally, How did all this affect you and how do you navigate today? It's hard to be very popular being mom, manager, company, being a relationship situationship, Um, not like the television show that was on you know sometimes how do you mention that? No? Sometimes I would really be do you have something that you do? Do

you tell? My outlet is for me calling my friends and just unloaded the clips, like yeah, you know what I'm saying that I wanted to look like this is my go to person right here? Um, and then my mom too, to be honest, that's the answer. Like I can literally call my mom and she's gonna have an answer to make me feel better no matter what, Like

it'll be about relationships music. It's like she's been so in this world, in the industry and everything so much longer than me that she has so much dance for me that helps me stick through with them, kind of like how Kanye was with his mom. Like she's like

that for me. Like I go to her with business everything and she's always got the best advice to me, Like nothing spiteful, nothing, like you know, you can't trust everybody, but sometimes a lot with like being on a blog with this or that, or it does take its toll sometimes I have to really just step back, step back. What did that mom feel about, you know, when you decided to do the enhancements. Does she feel that it was right on trend because of the pressure and hip hop?

Did she try to talk you out of it? It's sofy because you're gonna be gagging his My mom looks exactly like, but that was beforehand. Like now we talked about how it's more accepting of women to be who they are, like we're seeing black China is doing yeah, moving the butt shots. How do you feel about the removal? Would you want to get stuff removed? Um? I feel

like I look perfectly fine. But if sometimes if you do overdo it, it's nothing wrong with going back, like because sometimes a surgery can get addicted, can get addicting zoo, so people might keep you know, then they look unproportionate and whatever it is you want to go back then I definitely support that too. But my mom is she don't care, She don't care. I had a crazy question. You're Chinese kid, uh, I know DM's is crazy, craziest

DM you ever received from somebody? Come on, what is the craziest DM you've ever got, or maybe what surprised you some more like it's definitely some dirty zinc pay Okay, okay, well maybe like Serena Williams, M did you me unpacking? Now, I'm not just feeling no tea I I have probably I will say this if you guys are gonna say this, I don't think that there's not one guy in this

industry that has not DM. I mean when they all like trying to get at you, or where they're just friendly dms, where they like, hey, I see what it's Hey, it's the eyes. What's up? It's the your new song is fired, It's the all that I've been. You are in there saying that you're a part of the crew. No, but it's definitely nobody ever comes off this respect from now. I've had one or two idiots that might have thought that it was one way and it ain't. Some people

don't read their dms. Do you read yours? Like all the time when I'm sitting at home here, Yeah, I do. I even go to the ones on the side, like the exact request. Yeah. Sometimes it's a lot of people in there that have like inspirational stuff or like or singing my music and my dudes a song, or like grap to my song and in a car or whatever that I want to repost. It could be anybody. Yeah, so I think that I think you're having a fan base. It might be important for you to check that you

never know what your fan's gonna say to you. Exact who has said Shinye's kitty, I want to work with you, let's get in the studio, But then it turns out they really just want to smash. Oh damn, I forgot who jobs. A lot of has come out and talked about it, like, you know, the thing is, it's like, no matter how musically talented, how far. And this is why Nikki acts away she does because man, it doesn't matter. You could come in here spitting ten times harder than them.

As soon as they see this, they're like what damn? So like what she gonna on you? You're dating somebody? Is they're gonna shoot they shot. It doesn't matter. Like I've been in the room with people with whole wives and still shoot their shot. And I just told you I have a boyfriend. I just told that we here for music. We just made a record. Why are you asking me what's up. It's like or not. I just want to do music, but they don't get that. And then it's like the pressure as a female that it's

I act weird. I'd be like, oh, we're not gonna say the record, where are you? So you try to just keep this like poker face like and they keep throwing these little like damn you look good though, or it's just it's annoying. It's annoying. What's your dream collapse? Dream collapse? Yeah you can say that, Okay, y'all answer like yeah, all right, yeah, I think that's the drill sound is popping right now. It is. I literally just

said this yesterday. I was like, yo, son, me and Ice Spice will go great crazy crazy, Yes, okay, we got bank. Well the boy ain't mine? What made who? First off? Who cleared this sample? And you know, uh? And then why don't you have to touch this classic Brandy's boy's mind. That's a big sample. I'm not gonna hold you. It's a big sample. It's a big sample.

Um was so crazy as somebody came to me with the beat and I was going through a situation with the X that when I just heard the song Brandy and Monica was arguing over a dude in the song. I had a situation where I was dating a guy and my friend at the time was dating him behind my back. When somebody had brought me to beat, I was like, this is unreal because I'm literally just I just found out, like a couple of days before. So when I made the record, it was just really based

on that situation. But I just felt like the beat just matched perfectly. Boy mine. By the lyrics, you you was reading a bit, I was. I was reading her baby directly. I mean, now that we got the backstory, it makes it ten times real up for me. You kissing that nigga? He tasted better? Yea, I've been dealing with when niggas with money that ain't nothing to a bit like me. But the part that got me and I had to run it back. Don't be coming as a woman to a bitch like like me. Yep, that's it,

that's all. Did she try to come and talk to you about him? Yes? Uh? I woman as a woman, a girl to girl. Can you please understand a mother to mother because she was carrying his baby time mother to mother? Could you understand that this was a mistake, and you know, I do fuck with him, and I did respect what y'all had going on, but the things just happened. Girl, save it. You didn't respect you. Say what am I supposed to do with this information? Now?

That's no nobody how long ago was let's see who just had a bank? Let's have something? It was rasick? Are you bash from my attration for sample the song? No, because so many people are like, oh my god, everybody wants to keep touching these classics. Just leave the classics a lot how they came across any ok, But I don't know. You know, everybody got something dad to say about anything, but I haven't. I haven't personally seen anything yet.

I think it was a pretty good spin on it, you know, like you said, Brandy and Monica were arguing about a man, and you just kind of made it current and hip hop. Okay, what's next is just full artists Chinese Kitty Mo twenty twenty three. I think you're looking for producers too. I'm looking for all thees. I'm looking for just anything new. Sounds like I just want

to keep working at this point to thank you. Are you gonna get into actor we saw on Miami on MS she you know, somebody literally just sold me yesterday, like you should have been on there because you're puts on it. You match perfectly on that show that you want to do. I think I would. I think I would. I think if I put all of my energy into my music this year and it goes how exact exactly how I wanted to go, next year, I'm start doing everything.

I might be a speak car drip driver actor. Who knows? Did you watching on Miami on that episode of VAMS Well, I kept seen her on a shade room or like, she kept posting it. What happened? It was bad, It wasn't great, but but I mean she knows it too. She's laughing at herself, you know, I think, Yeah, she basically be like clowning herself, so it made it easy for everybody.

If he wasn't messing around? Yes, and you should leave her immediately immediately you can get colamedia. Sort I was gonna say that he is accepted in his throat like it's nothing. He just said it, like I just think I got it in my throat, so you got it? Like she's like, what, just I'm discussed she cheating on you, sir? Yeah, she cheating on you. I mean he could be like Huntry Wayne said. Some men don't leave after that cheat, he said, I'm about coming back after no STD though

he didn't. But you know, you know what, what what is he asking? Like? Do you think she was messing around? Yeah? If he should leave?

I had to reach out. I think I have media sources. She told me she got it back in September and she took antied by Yatis, but it reappeared sometime recent, so I'm assuming that she trying to keep it.
