K. Michelle Talks the Cast of Season 2 of LHHATL & Romance With J.R. Smith

By: Taren Vaughan

Did K. Michelle admit that she wants J.R. Smith back? Although she entered the industry from the music side of things, K. Michelle’s popularity increased when she joined the cast of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, the hit VH1 reality show that has been the claim to fame for many of her other cast mates. As viewers of the show got a look into not only K.’s attempt to reignite her professional career as a singer, they also got a look into her personal life as well. The R&B singer spoke several times on her rocky past with her alleged abusive ex-boyfriend Memphitz. While many applauded K. for sharing her story, not everyone was being supportive of her, with some of her cast members questioning how true it was. As her beefshave simmered down now, K. Michelle has been hit with good news left and right lately, landing herself a huge record deal and covering King Magazine.

While K. continues to add to her growing fan base, she has managed to lose some of them along the way as K. is known for popping off on people on social media networks. She has even started to send messages to her haters in other ways, K. not really being one to ignore the comments that are made towards her. K.’s dragging of her critics is not the only thing she uses her account for as she stays informing her fans about the projects that she is working on and exposing them to the happenings in her love life, K. Michelle dating J.R. Smith at one point. And it didn’t take long for things to turn sour between them. Now however, it appears that the two are trying to work things out, maybe, as they were being rather flirty on Twitter. K. recently chatted about her status with J.R. and a number of other things with NY’s Hot 97, one of them including how she became apart of the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta cast, K. saying that she originally was not going to be on the spin off show:

“I was gonna do New York but they said, you know, my accent and everything, it just didn’t match or whatever. And I was in Atlanta,working and then Mona reached out to me and said my story needed to be told, what happened with me, and I got on the show.”

K. Michelle was asked about her involvement with the fight against domestic violence and said that even though people may think she is crazy, everyone has to have something that they stand for:

“Well, I mean they think I’m crazy regardless so it is what it is with that. But I had already been an advocate for domestic violence. I’ve done a lot of charity work with it. So that scene was something that was very powerful. Everybody in there was brought to tears from it. And those girls are girls that I actually keep up with still from Saving Our Daughters, the organization. So, you know,  I can be ratchet and do a lot of stuff. But at the end of the day, you still have to have something that you stand for. And that’s something I stand for and that’s something I went through and that’s something I ain’t gone go through no more.”

K. Michelle was questioned about whether or not she talks to Rasheeda and how she felt about Rasheeda calling her a liar in reference to the alleged abuse involving Memphitz. And K. said:

“The thing with that, you not in the room with me, you don’t know my life. A lot of people tend to judge. You don’t know nothing about what I went through. And just because somebody your homie, you don’t know what they do behind closed doors. And for you to comment on situations that have nothing to do with you shows that you absolutely have no relevance and no time to do anything but stay up in my business.”

And she was asked if she ever felt like she wanted to get revenge on Memphitz and she admitted that sometimes she does feel the urge to:

“You know. sometimes you do. I wanna spit in his face. I have my days. Sometimes I’m on Jack Daniels and I feel some time of way.”

Although K. claimed that Memphitz was abusive to her in the past, she also added that the alleged physical abuse was not an on going thing yet he was often verbally abusive to her.

Speaking on the upcoming cast of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, K. says that she is not for sure what new cast members are coming aboard but she did name drop who she has been around during the taping for the new season, throwing out Erica, Momma Dee, Ariane and Mimi’s names.

K. Michelle came onto the show as a musical artist but claims that she really didn’t have a career at all when asked about how her being on LHHATL has affected her career:

“I didn’t have a music career at first. I was signed. I was trying to put out music, I was doing shows, things like that. You guys are in radio, you know how that works, how the politricks of the game go when it comes to that. So what I basically did, I was able to gain this huge, I had fans but now I’m able to come to SOB’s and sell out two shows. And I’m able to do other things from the show. They thought it was gone hurt but you gotta pay attention. It ain’t gone hurt nothing that ain’t there.”

One of her songs was brought up into conversation titled “I Just Wanna F*ck”. And K. was asked if there was anyone that came to mind when she was writing the song. K. says that the person that inspired her to write it was J.R. Smith. And when asked was he her boo thang, K. said that he wasn’t but she was trying to change that:

“No. You know, we kinda talked and I messed up. And I’m on this Effie White thing to get him back.”

And she is not ashamed to say that she wants J.R. back:

“I’m very open in saying I want him back.”

K. Michelle said that after being with J.R., nobody else will do:

“What is real is, once I had a taste of that real, I don’t want nobody else. And I messed up.”

She has been hard at work trying to get J.R. to come back around. But says that if he doesn’t, she knows that she gave it her best shot:

“I have. I been going HAM man like, it is what it is. If he don’t come back, I went out with a bang. I did my best. But at least I went for the person I genuinely care for.”

K. Michelle even said that she wrote a come back song for J.R. Smith and even sung a little bit of it the on air, not scared at all to show how bad she has it for him.
