Rapper Gigi Lamayne says she's in her catch-me-outside phase.

Viewers of Love & Hip Hop reunion show watched as the star got into an argument with Money Badoo over Money's alleged “failure” to show support and be happy for other artists.

In a recent interview on DJ Fresh's WAW (What a Week) podcast she was asked if her altercation with fellow rapper Money Badoo was scripted. 

“It was a great experience, but the drama was real. So I feel like Money and I are siblings, love her to bits. But I’ve just developed this new persona, and I don't know if I’m proud of it or not, but like ...” she said.

“There are certain situations where you don't just give energy to it, and with Money she’s like a sister to me and unfortunately that was ironed out on camera. It didn’t have to be on camera, but I think it was just a respect thing that we both felt we needed to be. You know how hip-hop is its own contact sport, we get touched very quickly,” Gigi said.

In a recent sit-down on her podcast Point Of Viewthe rapper and her guests discussed several themes, one of them being “have men gone soft?”

The rapper said even though she is a boss babe on the streets, when she is at home she is submissive to her man.

“I know I'm an independent female rapper, but when I get home to my man I am submissive AF. I will wash his hands, I still kneel, I will cook a meal for him ... I will do what needs to be done, and then I can go and be boss outside.”
