My motivation to do Momma'z Boi was to help create a platform for the people around me who wanted "To Do" entertainment... It was my Mothers dream... My Boyfriend at the time dream... My good friend Poetiik Soulja's dream... And now my awesome co producer Lyriqal Blyss's dream... I just have a determination that comes with helping people... It's pushes me to make things happen by any means necessary... #ItsHandled #RoyalFamily
What was the most challenging thing about shooting Momma’z Boi, and what did you learn from it?
The most challenging thing IS trying to work with my friends and family... Sometimes the lines get blurred and while we are working on this together... I sometimes miss the times of just being Family instead of Co-Workers... It has taught me to take time off... Even though I still need to work on that... I'm always working... So it's kind of my own fault... I sometimes need them to pull me out of work mode and just have FUN...
Is Jae Boogie REALLY your biological mom, or is it just a hoax?
Yes... Jae Boogie is really my mother... We just have young genes in our family... Thank Lord... And Mother that was not a "PLASTIC" answer Lol... LOVE YOU <3
When you first started shooting Momma’z Boi, what was your expectation? Has the series met that expectation?
I think my expectations grew... I mean when it first was inspired it was only to help my mother with an audition tape... But the Fans of the show caused my expectations for Momma'z Boi to grow... I still feel it has more potential... And I do have many expectations for the show but it is for the Fans... They are my driving force... Because they are so into it... I love it
What’s a behind the scenes secret that fans wouldn’t know that you think would be interesting?
I think one of the best kept secrets of MB is that I actually Played opposite myself in "The Shooting of Michael"... That was a very creative thing to do... I shot Myself lol... Thanks Kevin and LB for making it happen so impactful though
Ok, spill the beans…. Does Michael really die in the season finale?
Ok we actually wrote out 2 scripts... One where Michael lives... Tells a story of a kid and his family dealing with this situation and another where Michael Dies... Where it tells a story of a family dealing with the loss of a lover and a son... But stay tuned to see which one is chosen #KeepMikeAlive campaign... We need you to Donate Fans <3
So we know that Momma’z Boi Season Two is in pre-production, fans are excited to see what’s going to happen, what should we expect to see?
It's a Surprise... Our show ended on an element of surprise and so shall it being the same... But like I said stay tuned... Season two will be a lot more scandalous... #ItsHandled
Do you guys plan on releasing any more DVDs for Season One?
It's a possibility... We have been actually looked at by some networks... So it really just depends on that...
Who is iCandi?
Lol... Oh Lawd... Ok... iCandi is my dancer name... Yes I dance exotically lol... But yea I started dancing when I was 21... iCandi is also more of my sexual side... I'm really reserved personally but that's my more free spirited side... NOT A HOE... Cause some sort of Class should be held in everything you do... That's why I will never call myself a stripper... There's a difference if you’re in the life... However Perception is Peoples Reality... So what you know is I'm a Smart Dancer ;)
What’s something that you would want your followers to know about you?
That I'm only human... I make mistakes... I get hurt... I have feelings... And if anyone who actually listen to me instead of only looking at me would understand that... I'm a Hopeless Romantic... Who wants to create a world where people are comfortable... Loving of themselves and Respecting of others... #AmericasSweetheart
