After watching the new reality show with episode two of Vh1’s Miss Rap Supreme Monday night, Khia, may've contradicted her reason for appearing to begin with in "demanding respect." The self-proclaimed "Queen of The South" was booted by MC Serch for using an album verse when asked for original collaboration. The lyrics were all too similar to the song “Respect Me” from her 2006 album Gangstress - and Serch must be a die-hard Khia fan, album cuts and all. Surprisingly, Khia's reaction to the bad news was tolerable on TV, but a swarm of media blitzing now shows her gangstress side.

The truth is, Khia's been competing all her career. Propelled by 2002's "My Neck, My Back," Khia moved over 800,000 units independently to start her mainstream career, but sustained her name with a vicious, catty beef with Trina. With that approach, and without another mainstream single, Khia has stayed relevant by linking up with Gucci Mane's former management, and doing a similar thing to him - claiming she's too trill for all of us to ever really understand. Explaining her attitude after Vh1, how Lil Wayne is her baby, and what makes up the style, do you understand Khia?

HipHopDX: On the reality show you were recently a part of, Miss Rap Supreme, the explosion between you and rival Mz. Cherry was pretty intense. She definitely struck a nerve with you when she called you a one-hit-wonder. But as the most experienced rapper in the house, why didn’t you just brush it off your shoulder and take the high road?
Khia: "Struck a nerve" definitely was not it. I’m from the same streets that she’s from, so I definitely knew that she was tryin’ to put on for the TV. So it was like, "Little girl, accomplish a ‘one hit.' I know you personally so for you to even try me…I’ll slide you under this refrigerator.” So when you know somebody, it’s like c’mon. I know Mz. Cherry personally. So, it’s like, don’t put on for the TV.

DX: Why did you cheat on the elimination freestyle?
Khia: I cheated during the whole show. That was my plan and my main objective for even going on the show. Everyone seems to not get it, but “You’re My Girl” was already on Thug Misses, “Respect Me” was on Gangstress, my object for going on the show was not to compete with a bunch of amateurs, but to promote my music. That was the whole reason why I went on the show and my mission was accomplished so I bowed out gracefully. It was great.

DX: I get that your whole point was to use the show for publicity, but can you at least admit that it would have been better for you if you hadn’t cheated? That way you could stick around longer and gain more exposure, or even win the $100,000?
Khia: Yes and no. Because Serch was a hater; he already knew that everyone else’s stuff was pre-written to but because mine was known; it was a conspiracy. They knew I had to go. Because they know I have shit for years and days, I would've never ran out of lines or forgot my words like Mz. Cherry did because my catalogue is out of the roof. I write songs for a living. So just because my song are known, I got eliminated? And because their songs are not, they didn’t? Because Serch knew everybody’s freestyle was pre-written so I felt like it was time for me to go because he was hatin’.

DX: How do you know for sure everyone’s freestyle was prewritten?
Khia: What do you mean? I lived with them. I was with them everyday. They were all raps that I had already heard…The joke’s on you Serch, if [everyone’s freestyle wasn’t already pre-written] you should've told me [when I was disqualified] “You did “You My Girl,” you did “Fuck Them Other Hoes,” you did “Hater Walk,” and you did “Respect Me;” you gotta go”. I did pre-written songs through the whole show! So, they knew. They was just hatin’. How can he be a judge when I’m not giving him any respect?

DX: Speaking of respect, Don’t you think that just like you demanded respect from the girls in the house who were less experienced than you; that you should show respect to a pioneer like Yo-Yo who paved the way for female emcees like yourself?
Khia: Please, Yo-Yo is a joke. She just wanna make everybody look like a fool. Yo-Yo wasn’t there to show any love to the females in Hip Hop. They picked a cast of crackheads, strippers, bull-daggers and a veteran to try to get tension going in the house. What makes for better TV: A whole bunch of lyricists or a whole bunch of jackasses? Yo –Yo didn’t pick girls with talent. Yo-Yo picked girls with issues. That makes better TV. So, no, she don’t get respect [from me]. ..I don’t even wanna be considered a female rapper; I’m an artist. I’m a music composer. I’m in a category all by myself so…I’m not even in a category with all of them

DX: The last time we talked you said you were the queen of the south. Now it’s over a year and some time later as we're talking again, so do you feel the same and why?
Khia: Yes I feel the same and I’m the queen of the south because I’m the only woman in Hip Hop that’s had a worldwide hit that sticks like grits. What other female artist writes, composes, and produces all three of their albums? None of their albums, none of their songs, if that’s the case. So until their able to do that I’m the queen of the south. I don’t even want to be in that category “female emcees,” because I’m not an emcee, I’m a creative artist that creates music.
