Where is mia x now

Mia Young, also known as Mia X, recently started her first semester teaching hip-hop courses at Loyola University. Young will teach hip-hop related courses at the university.

In the caption, she described becoming emotional when she first got the ID, as it reminded her of her own time in school. I remember telling my classmates that I was going to be a rapper and them laughing while my teacher twisted up her face at me. A genre of music that the world believed was a fad at a major university in my city!!!!!

Young first rose to national fame in the s when Master P signed her to his label No Limit Records. Email Gambit staff writer Kaylee Poche at kayleep gambitweekly. Sometimes we keep stuff to ourselves because the look in someone's eyes who love you is too much. I always say that a woman's body is the gateway to heaven. It is the bond between God and us.

I just let KLC and them run the beat and I sat on the floor, went over and over it until I got what I wanted to say to her. Jil was my best friend and had just got murdered right before I dropped Good Girl Gone Bad , so I just kinda wanted that record to be a conversation, just catching her up on what had happened since she was killed.

That record was a heavy record. Of all of the songs on Mama Drama , which ones hold a particularly special place in your heart? You know, not feeling appreciated, but always expected to do things.

Out of the 20 songs, I probably like about nine of them. But overall, Mama Drama , I think it is a good album. Mama Drama was an overwhelming success, but would be your last album under the umbrella of the No Limit family, as you went on a hiatus shortly after. Can you touch on that?

A few months after Mama Drama , going into actually, my mom was killed and then five months after that my dad was killed and then seven months after that, my grandmother died. At the time, my children were still kinda young, they were still in elementary school and I had a younger sister and she was entering college, so I made the decision so that I could do what I needed for my children.

They pretty much handled everything. And then a lot of producers was leaving the label and I was used to working with them. I felt like my light had been put out because they was so important to me. So I stepped away from the game after they [my family members] died. There was a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff happening, so I stepped away. Did you ever have any regrets about stepping away from No Limit and the music industry?

I felt like I kept everybody so preoccupied. We made records and we traveled really close together. So as much as I sometimes regret not just staying around, I think about all of the mental breakdowns I had in private as I grieved my parents. I was really missing my parents, you know? I know we all grieve differently, but sometimes we gotta take that little sit-down. One of your latest endeavors is Team Whip Dem Pots, your catering business.
