Life After The Roc Pt 2…

Teairra on being dropped from Rocafella
I’m going to be totally honest; I don’t know what happened. I just got a call out of the blue because I had gotten cut my second advance and everything to record my second album. I got a call one day. They were just like, “Yeah we’re going to be letting you go. You’re young and we believe you will be able to have a prosperous career without us,” just kind of like throwing me out in the cold really. That’s how I kind of look at it, because we were all supposed to be like a close family. I called Jay-Z my father; he was like a second father to me. Tracy Waples, I called her a second mother. So to just be thrown out – and I didn’t get a call from Tracy or Jay – it was a bit heartbreaking. You know we live and we learn, but just me being that young and inexperienced I didn’t know. So I took it pretty hard.

Teairra on her current relationship with Jay-z
There is no relationship there at all. I haven’t heard from him since that time. I think I sent him a happy birthday message because his birthday is two days after mine, like two years ago and since then it’s been nothing. And I don’t want it to be – Actually, it’s fine because I was a young girl. If you could come into a young girl’s life and then just throw her on the curb, you put this father presence on and then be like, “I’m done with it.” I don’t want a relationship like that. ….I see both sides. I see how people can be on you one second and then totally off of you and not even call you to see if you’re still living or not.

She also talks about being 17 with a parental advisory sticker on her album and the direction she plans to take with her next album. Read The Full interview here

I am fully convinced after reading that interview that Teairra’s “You Said” song is about Jay-z. [Listen here]. Tomorrow I’ll have a full transcript from Memphis Bleek, cause you know he’s about to be kicked to the curb too *i kid*
