Da Brat spoke with xxlmag.com about her newfound freedom after being released from prison on Monday, Feb. 28. Now the rapper is discussing what life was like behind bars and how she was the top dog on every cell block.
In the new interview with xxlmag.com, Brat explains that during her time in Metro State Prison, she was in and out of lock down due to the pandemonium her fellow inmates caused over her.
“Man, they kept me on lockdown there because they all would be singing my song. They would be in a line and I’d walk through that joint and they would be like ‘what do you like.’ And,the officers would be like ‘yo, yo fall in line,’ but they wouldn’t listen,” said Brat. “… They shipped me outta there in a week.”
Although Brat was shipped to another state prison, she explains that the female inmates there were just as crazy about her, leading her to become the “boss b—-“ on the block.
“And when I went there it was crazy! I mean all the officers and counselors told me that the girls never bought so much makeup and got in trouble for tight pants,” explained Brat. “It was so funny. I was rollin’ off that s—. Everybody was trying to be homies and friends. Wash my clothes, do my hair, and just everything. I was a boss b—- in that m———–.
Despite getting the royal treatment, Brat explains that having the “boss b—-” title didn’t make up for the loss of time with her family and loved ones.
“The worst thing about it was I missed my family. I missed my music. I missed my mother, my auntie, my grandmother. I missed being able to provide and get that good quality love,” said Brat, adding that her family and celebrity friends did visit her in prison. “I had support from Nick [Cannon] and Mariah [Carey] came to see me. Went through the whole ordeal to come see me. Katt Williams came to see me. JD [Jermaine Dupri] and my sister came to see me. My folks came. My squad.”
