Khia Kicked off Miss Rap Supreme, Responds on Myspace

Tuesday April 22, 2008
So, the first thing Khia did after being eliminated from Miss Rap Supreme was to lash out at the show's hosts Serch and Yoyo, as well as the other contestants (with the exception of Nicky2States, Rece Steele, and Byata), via the comedy portal that is her Myspace blog. Khia boasts of having sold more records than both Serch and Yoyo. She also claims that her real intent was to utilize the Vh1 show as a promotional tool for her rap career.
"VH1 put my face in millions of homes," she writes. "I used VH1 to promote myself and my music!!! What part of that don’t you people understand? That was my plan from the beginning, not cheating but winning (stupid *expletive*)"
Well, I hope Khia understands why everyone sees her as a one-hit wonder. Her 2002 hit "My Neck, My Back" was just that -- a club smash that enjoyed an ephemeral run and then fell off. At least Yoyo and Serch had full-fledged careers at a time when quality was the order of the day.

What I don’t understand is: if her plan from the beginning was to gain free promotion, and her plan worked perfectly, why did has she gotten so mad at the hosts? I think she was embarrassed after being exposed for having limited skills, which is also why she always comes back to the fact that she sold many records. I’m also wondering, who in their right mind bought her record?

I have to agree with EVERYONE else…Khia is whack!…and a liar! She claims to have been on the show to promote herself and her music, but she couldn’t even write 16 bars in 1 hour! She had to use some CRAP from a previous album!…How original is that when you up for elimination?!? Also, her Wikipedia profile shows her to have been born in 1977, but in an interview with Sixshots.com, she says she was born in 1978. Khia is in her late 30’s. I think she was born in 72, but my point is, why lie? She has a song in rotation with Gucci Mane, which SUCKS LIKE A NEWBORN!, but Maybe she’ll get to where she’s trying to go.

Yeah, she sold thousands of records…that were sent right back to amazon.com for the “used junk” section.
