Singer Christina Milian was set to conquer the world when her record company at the time, Def Jam reportedly dropped her for Rihanna back in 2006. So it has been a rough couple of years for her, being dropped by record company and boyfriend Nick Cannon (who was supposedly cheating on her� shhh!!). Christina is back on top of her game and ready to make music again.

Here are some highlights of Christina Milian�s interview for Rap Up Magazine:

On how she reacted after being dropped from her label: �It was embarrassing. It was a week after my album [So Amazin�] got put out. I would be in my room a lot of the time crying by myself.�

On the reason why she was dropped: �It was a budget cut, I believe. [Def Jam] probably got rid of projects like mine to spend the money on [Rihanna].�

On who inspired her to get back into music: �I bumped into Janet Jackson at a club. We talked for an hour and I was telling her I don�t know if I�m gonna do this, and she was like, �Girl, do not let them stop you. I�m a fan and you make good music.� She�s a person I actually looked up to growing up, so her telling me that really was the day I was like, �I�m not gonna let these people hold me down. It�s time.��

On learning about ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon�s marriage to Mariah Carey: �I was surprised like everyone else. I was like, �Really?� It just seemed like a weird match, but I was happy for him. I always feel Nick works hard to get what he wants, whether that be women�that�s how he got me.�
