Tiara Thomas
Did you feel anyway when the Rihanna version of “Bad” began getting more airplay than your version?
I mean, its Rihanna singing my song, that’s dope. From somebody that was just making that song in their dorm room, not thinking anything, then Wale puts it on his mixtape, and then everybody was loving it, and then it became his single, then it became gold, and then Rihanna got on it, and then it went platinum; that shits dope! I have publishing on that song so [Tiara does the money clap]. I f*ck with Rihanna; I like her. If it was somebody that would of f*cked it up, I probably would have been mad, but she killed it.
What do you want fans to take away from your official first body of work?
I’m just trying to keep it as real as possible, so I hope when people listen to it, they feel inspired to be just like that. Inspired to feel sexy or feel free. Inspired to be themselves. And then with people going through bad relationships, I talk about shit like that, so I hope they have someone to relate to. This is life!
