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 Milians 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 dont know if Im gonna do this, and she was like, Girl, do not let them stop you. Im a fan and you make good music. Shes a person I actually looked up to growing up, so her telling me that really was the day I was like, Im not gonna let these people hold me down. Its time.
On learning about ex-boyfriend Nick Cannons 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 womenthats how he got me.
