K. Michelle Clarifies Tamar Braxton, Azealia Banks "Beefs", Talks Backlash Over Idris Elba

Reality star K. Michelle recently sat down with media personality B. Scott for a four part interview series, and boy did she unloaded on some hot topics. As she gears up for another season of her VH1 reality show K. Michelle: My Life and her third (and reportedly final) album, she opened up on her beef with Tamar Braxton, scrapped tour with Azealia Banks, and how Idris Elba inspired her second album.

After confessing to Scott a desire to remove her famous assets, Michelle opened up on her infamous beef with The Real co-host Tamar Braxton.

"I don't think I'll ever get over women telling me that I was not abused. I want to get over that. I don't forget or forgive," she said, naming Braxton's comments on her past as a domestic violence victim as a catalyst for their beef.

When quizzed on if she felt bad for retaliating by calling Braxton a "Muppet", Michelle said, "I didn't feel anything. I'm just being honest. I wish I did, but you're a product of your reality and what is happening in your environment. No one had any sympathy for me when I was telling my story about being drug across the floor. No one cared. Toughen up. I learned in this world that no one cares. People care for entertainment, no one really cares."

She also opened up on her canceled tour with "212" emcee Azealia Banks, citing her label's refusal to repackage her album in time for the tour as her cause for pulling out last minute. "I wanted Azealia to go on tour with me. I still respect her music, I actually still listen to her album," she said. "I was going to repackage my album. The label says 'OKyou want to do a new sound? new music? We cannot repackage this. You have to do a whole new album, we are not going to confuse your fans.' So I told her I just couldn't do it."

She also explained why she didn't entertain Banks afterwards when she took to Twitter to bad mouth her. "I don't care. Why fight? I chose me. No disrespect to you. It's not about you."

In a separate segment, Scott also asked about her relationship with Idris Elba. She elaborated on how he inspired her album Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart and how women in the black community turned their back on her after the relationship fell apart. "When I sang about what it was. Black women where @-ing him saying 'Ew, she's not good enough for you', 'ew he would never, why are you dating someone like that?' it was bad."
