khia - Thug Misses | Biography

Saturday, July 21, 2007 |

Some guys need a woman a little rough on the edges, with felonies and misdemeanors such as larceny, fraud, aggravated battery, it doesn't come much rougher than Khia.

Khia
Khia Chambers (born Khia Shamone Finch on November 8, 1970) is an American rapper (styles: gangsta rap, Southern rap, and Dirty South), songwriter, and record producer, best known for her 2002 hit single "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)".

Chambers was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Tampa, Florida. She first wanted to be a musical performer in her early years while attending school talent shows and taking part in parades. After studying tap dance and bartending in a Tampa Bay hot spot, she became acquainted with several DJs and producers from the area which led her to getting a record deal.

Khia was arrested more than twenty times for a variety of felonies and misdemeanors (larceny, fraud, aggravated battery, carrying a concealed weapon)
Khia
Thug Misses (2002)

In March 2002, Khia released her debut album, Thug Misses, and the album's first single "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" became a breakthrough hit, charting at number forty-two on the Billboard Hot 100. There was a rumor that she got the title from the 1995 film Friday. The video was edited in order to play on networks such as BET and for radio due to its hardcore explicit lyrics which refers to cunnilingus and anilingus. An urban legend was circulated that Khia had been killed by her boyfriend, but she publicly appeared to clear the air and blamed her former label for the rumors. The label also posted old mug shots of her from her days in Tampa. Khia was scheduled to release her second album Street Preacher in 2003, but it was never released.

Gangstress (2006)
Khia's second album, Gangstress, was released in July 2006 on her own independent record label Thug Misses Entertainment (or T.M.E. Records). The lead single, "Snatch the Cat Back", received airplay in the Southeastern United States, although it was ineligible to appear on the charts. Two producers, one from Macon, Georgia, helped develop background instrumentals or "beats" for the 2006 project, but all lyrics have been written by the self-proclaimed "Queen of the South" herself. Continuing the trend of independence in her music, Khia declined a request to appear as a "feature" on Trina's 2005 album Glamorest Life but said she would consider working with Lil Wayne, who was featured on the album (but Wayne, being in a relationship with Trina at the time, turned Khia down flat). An artist she admires, Trick Daddy, had Khia featured on the song "J.O.D.D." from his 2004 album Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets, even though he did not pay her at her own request. As quoted in her song "Mr. Trick Daddy Dollars" (in reference to Trick Daddy), "...you called me, I was there pronto, didn't charge you nothin'. All I wanted was my 33 and a third for my percentage of the writing that I did on the song. You know thug misses gon' be about her business. That's all I wanted, so I did you a favor, then you gon' side wit' a hoe?", with Trina allegedly being the "hoe". In an interview at UrbanFans.com, Khia stated that there will be no collaborations on her album because she firmly believes that she does not need anybody's assistance in selling her material.

New York (Tiffany Pollard) Biography

Thursday, July 19, 2007 |


Tiffany Pollard (January 6, 1982) is an American actress and reality television contestant, best known for VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love New York. Being from Utica, NY she is commonly known by her nickname, New York, given to her by Flavor Flav. She is also known colloquially by her self-proclaimed nickname the "HBIC", an acronym meaning (Head Bitch In Charge), which she exclaimed in the series Flavor of Love in an attempt to taunt her fellow contestants.

Flavor of Love

Pollard clashed with virtually everybody in both seasons, including contestants:

* Thela 'Rain' Brown
* Nicole 'Hoopz' Alexander
* Chandra 'Deelishis' Davis
* Larissa 'Bootz' Aurora
* Becky 'Buckwild' Johnston
* Schatar Sapphira Taylor|Schatar Sapphira 'Hottie' Taylor
* Heather 'Krazy' Crawford
* Brooke 'Pumkin' Thompson

Although these feuds were, in general, nothing more than screaming matches, an incident in the penultimate episode of season one led to violence. After her elimination, an outraged Brooke Thompson spat on Pollard after the two had exchanged words. Pollard vowed to "whoop Pumkin's ass," and attempted to do so at the season one reunion. However, in another VH1 special, New York and Pumkin were shown making up at a club. Meanwhile, the final two contestants journeyed to Mexico where Flav chose Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander to be his mate.

After his relationship did not work out with Alexander, Flav chose to do a second season of his dating show, and invited Pollard to participate. She agreed, but was once again eliminated, finally severing her romantic connection with Flav. Pollard verbally fought with Flav in the season finale, asking why he had brought her back. However, the two announced on the Flavor of Love Reunion show that aired October 28, 2006 that they would remain friends. In the reunion of the second season, Bootz, Deelishis, Buckee, Buckwild, and Sapphayri went after her physically (All but Deelishis, who had won the second season, were then asked to leave the reunion). However, numerous security guards protected Pollard and, thus, she was not attacked, despite the rumor that Larissa 'Bootz' Aurora punched her repeatedly before security escorted Bootz away from her permanently.

In February 2007, Pollard was a guest on The Tyra Banks Show, where she stated she had feelings for Flav because of his generosity.

I Love New York
In October of 2006, Pollard announced plans for her own dating show, I Love New York, which began airing on January 8, 2007. The series tracks the lives of twenty men as they compete for her, following the same theme as Flavor of Love. During the show's finale, which aired Monday, April 2, 2007, the man she chose, "Tango", proposed to her, and after slight hesitation, she agreed to marry him.

On the reunion show, which aired April 15, 2007, Tango ended his relationship with "New York," stating that he was in love with Tiffany and proposed to Tiffany, but ended up with New York. He said he was upset that New York and Sister Patterson disrespected his mother. He called off the engagement and stormed off stage. Tango also told Chance to "knock his self out" with New York.
