I Love New York: T-Weed

February 22nd, 2007 | Author: Kevin Clark

HHDX: Well, back to the show… On your date with New York, she felt that you were more adept at talking about yourself than paying attention to her. How have the ladies been treating you since your appearance on the show?
KW: On the show, New York failed to show you our whole conversation from the time that we left the house till the time we got there. We had a two-hour conversation, but it was definitely shortened for the TV show. As far as how the ladies have been treating me… I’ll keep that confidential. Let’s put it this way though, more people knew me before the show. The show was funny. New York’s mother is the same person who said that she was dying when she was on Flavor of Love. She made claims that were false. Since when are they the moral characters of what’s credible in society? You have a person who’s Christian who allows a group of men to be around her daughter! You told your daughter all these are lies to keep her from being truly happy.

HHDX: The other contestants felt that how New York and her mother blasted you on the show was foul. What did you think as they read the background check on camera, in front of millions of viewers?
KW:
What they didn’t show on the show was me cooking for cats in that house. They didn’t show any of that. But when they did the elimination thing, all I saw was a piece of paper, dude. You know what I’m saying? Just a day before that I had got significant wires from these clients that I work with. So, when she pulled out her “background check”… I thought that it was a joke. But when she said that she was serious, hell, I was out after that. If a person wants to put you in a box, that’s fine, but I’m not the one to be boxed in. I never even had any taxes filed as an employee with Munchie’s Pizza. If you go to Bed-Stuy Online, you couldn’t even put a pizza place like that in Brooklyn. It was a beautiful café… we served things like smoothies and shrimp scrampi. It was on Franklin Avenue. Since I put that store up, it was great experience.
HHDX: It doesn’t seem like you’ve been fazed by the criticism, but in an interview with Onix he said that VH1 and the show would vindicate you if you could accurately back up your claims. Is there any chance of you putting your “actual” background check here on HipHopDX.com?

KW: That’s too confidential. Is someone going to give me money for that? What would I get out of putting my background up online? It doesn’t change my money flow. It doesn’t change the property that I own here and abroad. The show did me a favor. My clients are now more overly resounding of how I left the show. Something like that [the background check] comes out of left field. It’s kind of like… “We have your hands tied, now box!” At the end of the day, I grew up from the Southside of Chicago, baby. I have never been incarcerated. I went to great schools. My father was a Vice President of a bank in my neighborhood. I grew up in a very successful household. I grew up around success. I went to Homewood-Flossmoor High School. I grew up on 49th street in the center of Hyde Park. I went to St. Thomas the Apostle Grammar School. So, I shouldn’t have to prove where I’m from and what I do, because people already know. Continued on page 4 »
