Everyone’s excited to tune into this new season of Love & Hip-Hop now that it’s in the ATL. How is the show gonna be different from New York this time around?
K. MICHELLE: Different storylines. There are a lot of different things these women are going through. I can honestly say this show is amazing as far as the women. They have opened up, haven’t held back anything and some of the storylines haven’t taken place on TV before.

We’ve seen the struggles of a singer in terms of Olivia and Teairra Mari. What about your story specifically is gonna separate you from them?
I’m not fighting to get a record deal. We’re at different points in our careers. The point in my career now: do I even want a record deal? I fought out of a record deal, and I haven’t even been out of my deal for a year yet. Now, I’m trying to decide on how I want to put out music and is it time for me to put out music.

When you were first approached about doing this show, what was your initial reaction?
I knew that I wanted to do the show from New York, because when I saw it, it was about the struggles of women and what they were going though.

Are we gonna see you involved in catfights on the show or are you gonna play a mediator of sorts?
You have to stay tuned, but my role in the show is just kinda my story about being a single mother and a singer who’s just going through the day-to-days of trying to get my career back on track and finding love again. For so long, I’ve been kinda against [finding love] because my past situation was so bad. So, you definitely get the real K. Michelle and where I’m at in my life.

Are you concerned about him seeing you on the show?That’s always a huge concern for me. My biggest concern is not putting him on camera because I didn’t want people to see him. Me and my son have a great relationship; I can speak with him and say, ‘Mom wasn’t supposed to do that.’ I don’t want to take away that privacy away from him.
KM: It just depends on how you do things and what your focus is within the show. My main focus has been my music and it’s not gonna stop. I was signed to a record label, and I hardly got any promo. I can see today that more people are picking up old music like it’s new. I think it’s gonna help me and people get to know who I am and it’s up to me to make sure that the music sticks. One thing R. Kelly told me is that once you get the attention, you have to keep it with the talent.
Have you told R. Kelly that you’re gonna be on the show?
He’s gonna be in Atlanta, so I’m gonna tell him face-to-face. I don’t think he’s gonna have too much of a concern about it besides the music being right.
Now for the love aspect of the show, are we gonna see you going on dates and looking for a potential partner?
I am dating right now. I am trying to put down my baggage and just really give men a fair chance.
So you’re having fun more than trying to find Mr. Right?
I do want to find Mr. Right, but I feel like I need to heal a little bit more. I’m happy with me but I got to focus on healing for me in terms of my perception of me and my perception of love. If Mr. Right comes, I would be so happy, but right now I’m just trying to live carefree and feel things out.
What are the qualities you look for in an ideal mate?
Big arms, God-fearing, someone that my son can grow up like. That’s a very big thing for me in dating. And just someone that can make me laugh. I’m a handful, so someone who just knows how to let me be me.
As far as music goes, was For Colored Girls your latest project?
That was my last mixtape that I released and I have a new one coming out July 9. It’s called “0 F**ks Given.” I’m real in your face, I’m real upfront and, as far as people’s opinions of me, I don’t care. My opinion and my self-esteem for me is where it needs to be, so I felt like this title was very appropriate in the sense that people like to judge you for doing reality shows and for different things. You’ll hear some music from the project through the show.
It’s great that you’re so comfortable with yourself. Where do you think that attitude comes from?
I think it comes from me being tired of always having to prove myself. A lot of bad press was put out about me through my last situation. I started to look at media through a different light. The media has to do whatever they have to do to get a story. They never really care how it affects you or your family or your life. At this point, they’re gonna say something about me, but the only thing I really care about is being happy with myself and knowing I was myself on this show. Even in life at this point, K needs to be happy with K.
