Lady Sovereign Explains Why She Was Such A Twat!

ap-sovereign.jpg

With her second album, Jigsaw, on the way, Lady Sovereign is speaking about her departure from Def Jam, her experience in the industry, and how that experience brought her down.

She says, "I went on strike and stopped doing stuff, so Def Jam got the hump [stop putting up] with me," adding, "I lost the plot a few times. I was cutting myself and stupid things like that. I was tired. I felt like it was just push, push, push. I didn't have a chance to record any new stuff, it was the same old songs."

The decision to leave the label came from both Def Jam and Sovereign, who said that "It just had to be done, for their sake, for my sake. It wasn't messy, it was just … gone."

It was followed by a low, wherein the rapper almost overdosed on prescription antidepressants. Fortunately, her friends came to her aid.

Which is good because the rapper is now "determined and excited…This is never going to stop; I'll keep making music, I'll keep doing my own thing. I'm not a one-trick pony."

We're not so sure about the pony part, but you're definitely one-trick!

    22. 22

      She's got man nails. Ew.
      Atleast its not gaga news.



    23. 23

      Perez is just hating on her now because she was too drunk to perform at his Fagfest in Austin.



    24. 24

      Is that Melissa's husband?



    25. 25

      yeah, and she's more of a one trick pony than Kevin Rudolf, Chairlift, Ultraviolet Sound, Alphbeat, Semi Precious Weapons, Yo! Majesty, The Saturdays, Shwayze, Junior Senior, Chester French, Thunderheist, Ladyhawke, Florence and the Machine, The Veronicas, Mika, Butterfly Bboucher, LMFAO, Little Boots, Empire of the Sun, or Frankmusic will ever be….? Sure. okay…..

      Perez forgets that he is only helping these artists with exposure, not discovering them.



    26. 26

      ugh, that super short thumb nail is gross



    27. 27

      i love her shes amazing
      i met her yesterday :)



    28. 28

      Look at her nails! OMG! x|

      I agree with blah blah 1: Don't know who she is and I don't really care.



    29. 29

      EW. Seriously. Manicure's are only like 15 bucks. I get one every week and I'm not a celebrity. Get her some help PLZ!!!



    30. 30

      Mmmm yeah that's sad. Except I don't think you actually CAN overdose on prescription anti-depressants. I'm pretty sure you can take, like, a thousand of them and not die. Just sayin'



    31. 31

      This bitch outta suck my dick just for readin' that shit!



    32. 32

      I like this girl, she's a great writer and she's talented and has a sense of irony as well, her video for so Human is witty, probably too high-brow to be appreciated by the circle that writes and reads here, but there is a reason she was compared to Eminem, and her album is doing really well on itunes, it's in the top 5. I think she's going to do fine and I'm sure she appreciates the free pubs. per Perez.

      oh, that's right Slooshy I forgot about that incident where P. got pissed off at her, and we all know when you piss off Perez he hates on you irrationally for the rest of your life. Thanks be to god it doesn't make a difference in the real world.



    33. 33

    83. 83

      Her fingernails make me want to barf.
      Stop chewing your damn nails, it's really gross.



    84. 84

      its odd cause i adored her before def jam. she didnt do anything new while with def jam (old tracks put out by them stateside) and now that shes not with them, im not really feeling this new rec. she needs to produce independently, like with big dadda for example. im sure her next one will be even better when shes been left alone.
      @UrMajestyMsG just cause you cant remember any of her songs, doesnt mean she sucks. ever here of bahamadia? jean gray? mike ladd? open your mind a little. if you profess to love hip hop so much.
