Lloyd On Irv Gotti & Ashanti, "They've Been Going Through Their Own Thing Ever Since I Met Irv"
Friday - October 26, 2007

It's been a busy year for R&B crooner Lloyd, who scored two Top 5 singles with "You" and "Get It Shawty" off his Gold album Street Love, made numerous album guest spots and performed live throughout the country. In this SOHH Soulful Exclusive, we caught up with the Atlanta resident to get the scoop on his next solo project, the Irv Gotti-Ashanti rumors and Gotti's new reality TV show.

As one of the artists on The Inc. roster, Lloyd understands the meaning of family. So when asked about Irv Gotti's recent interview with radio personality Wendy Williams, in which the label boss admitted to having sex with songstress Ashanti, Lloyd maintained a low profile.

"I know those guys have been going through their own thing ever since I first met Irv," Lloyd told SOHH. "That's something that I always chose not to really inquire about. I just always stayed focused on what I was trying to do. I really think that the moment that all the extra stuff becomes so important - like what somebody said about this person, or, you know - I think it should just stay about the music, and it shouldn't really matter." [Watch Lloyd interview here]

"What I can say is that I kind of don't agree with anything that would have been said," he added. "I'm not sure what was said. But If anything was said about her, I definitely don't agree with it because I feel like it's definitely not cool for us to ever kind of put each other's business out in the street or just pull each other down kind of thing. I think that with us all being on the same team what's most valuable to us right now is each other, and I think we really should cherish that before it's too late and you don't really have that anymore."

Lloyd's bond with the Inc. family is now being caught on camera with Gotti's new reality show on VH-1, "Gotti's Way," which airs Mondays at 10:30 p.m. The singer appeared in the last episode.

"I think it's cool because it gives you a different perception of my life behind the camera," he said. "It's like when the music stops playing, the camera stops rolling, and all the fans go home, what do you have? And we have each other. So it kind of shows you how we really interact with each other, it shows you how we kind of even question each other. And we always use our friends to tell us what's hot, what's not. We always keep positive influences around." [Watch here]

After a self-described "big year for Team Lloyd," the 21-year-old artist said he's currently in the studio working on his third solo LP. In the meantime, he has kept himself busy doing guest spots for several rap artists including Huey, Fabolous, Chamillionaire, Yung Berg and Pitbull.

"I've always been involved in hip-hop," he said. "And we always have these conversations about 'Is hip-hop really alive?' 'Is the youth really into hip-hop, or is it all just rap, commercial rap? So for me, I try to stay involved in hip-hop as much as I can, as a young person."
