HHDX: So, what is it about her that gets you if there isn’t any beef?
Persia: I just don’t like how she represents hip-hop. She can get her Fergilicious on... her pop songs on, you know?

HHDX: What about her diss song to you on her MySpace page?
Persia: Well, DJ Mumbles is a 12 year old DJ from Detroit. The whole song was staged. I mean, all that she can say in the whole song is that I’m fat?! Shit… I must be doing something right. I was more embarrassed about her flow on the track than anything that she could possibly say. She embarrassed herself more just by rapping. She came at me like she didn’t understand why I was coming for her. But she has a track against Fergie on her page… so she should’ve expected it. As far as Misfit goes… my fans have beef with her. I think that she’s a sweet girl, but Misfit needs to stop rapping! She should dance… get her pop on… but she’s not hardcore hip-hop! She should stick to rhyming about cars and clothes. She can’t rep the block! There’s no beef, so there’s nothing to squash, I wasn’t offended by the fat thing. But I’d go at John Brown any day of the week. My mother said that he was a messager of the Devil. When he said, “The hate… I love it”. That was his plan to get me off the show; to make me unfocused. [Laughs] I hated him everywhere we went.

HHDX: It did seem like John Brown found a way to get into your flesh, but how did it start?
Persia: Initially, what happen is that he had that blank look on his face. I took that the wrong way. I thought that he was judging people, but it’s really the look of “duh”. But his bullshit, his propaganda and his “I’m Not A Rapper, I’m An Entity” schtick pissed me off. It was like, “Do you really know who Shock G is or do you think that him and Humpty Hump were two separate people?” He puts on a shirt and thinks he’s gangsta. I know that I had to live with him… but I had to make the world understand how much of a punk he is! Honestly, he should be a ghostwriter. He said that he was going to brainwash America, but Ghetto Revival is going to last way longer than his name. He overshadowed himself to make Ghetto Revival shine. I don’t think they’ll stand behind him after awhile.

HHDX: Your swag was phenomenal on the show and people easily thought that you were going to come away with the prize. Since your elimination from the show, what is new for Persia?
Persia: [Laughs] Right now, we’re working on a mix tape. It’s actually coming out tomorrow. I’m trying to stay out there, in the mix. I am going to do as many shows as possible. I don’t want to be the people to be fans of me from the show, I want them to be Persia fans. I do clubs… I do Easter Egg hunts for the kids. In order for me to stay in touch with the people, I have to keep my name out there in the streets. After the show finally ends and the contract is up, it will allow me to go for a deal. But right now, I’m just doing one album deals now. Trying to get into as many venues as possible. I don’t want my love of hip-hop to die down.

HHDX: So, do you wish that you won?
Persia: I’m glad that I didn’t win... I don’t want to be known as a “White” rapper… just as a great one. I’d like it better that way.
