Trina spilled details to Vibe Vixen about her new album, current business ventures, and how she feels about French Montana.
The rapper spoke on why she wants to switch up her sound and her frustration on how the media portrays her.
"I think that the media has no idea of who I am and the image that they portray is all over the place," she said. "One minute it's the golden child we love, the next minute it's the provocative, raunchy person. Don't get me wrong, I really could care less about the media. I just do what I feel like I want to do and I don't really justify that with anybody. If I do something, I own up to it. If the media's lying or they make up their own perception of something, sometimes I don't really care. You can't please everybody, you can't make everybody feel a certain way about you. My music is sexy, it's raw, it's raunchy and that's just what it is. I know who I am and that's all that matters. My family, my fans and the people that really care about me know, so that's all that really matters to me. The rest of the world and their opinions, it does not make or break me at all."
She also spoke about the dating rumors she faced with French Montana. While she never confirmed the dating whispers, she did have good things to say about the rapper.
"I don't listen to rumors because rumors are made up by people with their own opinions about stuff they don't know about," she said. "I'm not going to say all the time, but to me that's what it is. You see somebody hanging out and you automatically assume they're together. I think some things should just be left alone. That's really personal to me. If the person wants to say "I'm with this person. I'm engaged, I'm pregnant"—then that's up to them. French is a great person. He's an amazing guy and I have the utmost respect for him."
The rapper also touched on her sound and why she's steering away from explicit, raunchy songs.
"I was vulnerable, I was in the studio and I guess that this time in the studio, I don't really have a strategic type of record to do" she said. "Everybody's so used to like the baddest chick record or the real explicit, vulgar records. It's easy for me to do that I can do that all day long. I think just to be in a different place and just to have emotion and just to have a different type of energy in the studio. There's a lot of vulnerability, there's a lot of emotion, there's a lot of feelings, there's a lot of control."
Trina recently dropped a video for her new single "Money Ain't A Problem."
