New Orleans rap queen Mia X is out of Grasp P’s extremely anticipated last No Restrict reunion present at Essence Pageant and it ain’t on no diva tip. Based on the OG herself, it’s about enterprise being dealt with sloppy and sideways.
In a press release she dropped on social media, Mama Mia aired out what actually went down behind the scenes and let’s simply say it wasn’t all love and soldier-style loyalty. Mia says she felt disrespected after being promoted as a part of the lineup, though the oldsters behind the scenes hadn’t locked something in formally together with her; no contract, no rehearsal schedule, no deposit, and no correct communication. To make it worse, she says talks about her involvement didn’t even get critical till only a week in the past.
“It’s nonetheless unbelievable that I’m really saying this,” she wrote. “At first, his administration didn’t need to entertain my efficiency price. So it was agreed that I wouldn’t be part of the present. I talked to P on the twenty sixth of June. He defined the dearth of and miscommunication was on account of his busy schedule. I felt disrespected as a result of the present had been booked for a lot of months. And I had been marketed as a featured artist.”
Mia, who has remained principally quiet via earlier No Restrict household points, made it clear this time was totally different. She referenced the 2018 Essence Fest debacle as a warning signal she couldn’t ignore. “There was a conflict due to my concern concerning the brief time and no schedule in place for rehearsals, no contract, no deposit, and the concern of a repeat of 2018,” she stated.
Even after receiving a last-minute contract on June 27, she stated it didn’t mirror what she deserved. “I used to be additionally nonetheless insulted by the dismissal of my truthful price, contemplating Essence paid large.”
So as to add insult to harm, she claimed Essence and Grasp P’s workforce used her title in promos with out her correct consent. “I stand by doing good enterprise, and I’ve been performed soiled,” she wrote. “And that PR spin earlier than even chatting with me is diabolical.”
Mia X ended her assertion with love for the followers however stood on her ideas: “I work in illness and in well being, and I recognize the help from the individuals who have loved my music through the years… I’m sorry to all anticipating to see me, and I hope you take pleasure in your pageant weekend.”
Because it stands, Grasp P’s final stand at Essence Fest gained’t embody probably the most essential voices in No Restrict historical past and that’s a rattling disgrace.
