Looking at me you can’t even tell and of all my cronies from those days, I’m one of only a few still really living. I got lucky, I still have all my teeth and most of my hair. One day I found something that temporarily made it go away and I just got lost for a while.

I was in a lot of pain, like my whole life, and I never really learned how to process what I feel. To stop that would be to stop living.ĮJ:Like many teens you experimented with drugs and alcohol and it had a real affect on your life, can you share some of that with us?īriana Isaacs:I wouldn’t call it experimenting so much as jumping off the deep end. I don’t know what the future holds and I don’t like to pretend to, but I can guarantee that I will not stop creating. I was completely uncomfortable the whole time and it probably shows in many of the scenes.ĮJ: You are an amazing artist! How did that talent develop and what do you see for the future with your work?īriana Isaacs:I’ve been creating since I could talk. I’m getting used to the cameras, but it’s not easy. I don’t ever want work to feel like work. We shall see, I guess.ĮJ: Are you used to the cameras following you yet and how does it feel being the star that you set out to be?īriana Isaacs:I actually never set out to be a star! I just wanted passive income. While filming though, my whole world kinda fell apart, piece by piece so it probably makes for good entertainment.
I was actually supposed to be on a different show, don’t know how much I can say about it as it’s still in the works, but I felt comfortable with the producers so I agreed. As I favor to my friend I agreed to go on the interview and while there, they sold me a dream.
I had previously turned down several offers from various realities shows, because that was never something I cared to do. But again, I never understood society.ĮJ: Switching gears, talk to us about the process how did you first hear that you would be on the show Growing Up Hip-Hop and what was your response?īriana Isaacs:Honestly, a good friend of mine called me one day and asked me to interview. Or even better: report on how to fix these problems.

They were together for 17 years, he managed her career, I don’t understand why everyone is acting like he’s not entitled to normal alimony or maintenance. (Laughs) Like he’s begging for money out of nowhere. I think that it’s interesting to me how people talk about my father like he never did anything. It used to really bother me that I wasn’t receiving the support I felt I should from my father with my own endeavors but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and hopefully smarter.ĮJ: Your dad and step mom are really heavy in media right now, do you think that the media is blowing it up and treating your family unfairly?īriana Isaacs:Maybe this is some grand life lesson from the Universe… for the both of them. I never really know what it is that people expect of me before they interact with me, but I always get a surprised reaction. Blige, is it hard to live up to the expectations the industry must have for you?īriana Isaacs:Absolutely.
