Lady Sovereign Explains Why She Was Such A Twat!
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!
