600 fans turned out at Suite Lounge in Atlanta as reality TV personality and singer K Michelle hosted a release party for her latest album, More Issues Than Vogue, last night.
More Issues Than Vogue sold only 51,000 copies, but it was enough to land her at #1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and #2 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart.
Atlantic Records rewarded her efforts by giving the singer her own record label.
“I have to sign at least 2-3 artist a year to Atlantic. I’m shocked, I can’t believe they gave it to me — I’m excited,” Michelle told V-103 radio mid-day personality, Big Tigger.
“I know what it’s like to sign someone and leave them sitting around, that’s not right. I don’t like when artist do other artist like that. I’ll be bringing in artist through my imprint to Atlantic and they will be running it with their staff, because what I don’t want to do is get so caught up in doing what I’m doing that I halt someone else’s dream.”
Michelle also discussed returning to VH1’s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta as a full-time cast member after VH1 declined to renew her reality TV series, My Life, for a 3rd season.
“I told VH1, I challenge you all to not just do the drama and entertainment. I challenge you all to help people,” she told Tigger. “It’s okay for me to be on there in my restaurant, in my home, with my label things like that,” she said. “You have to use TV because black artist don’t get TV, often. You have to use TV to your advantage and know how to use it.”

Is that Frankie sitting next to her?!!?
Who that woman?!!?
I want her wig maker.
I KNEW this was Tigger from the side profile, LOL…Tha Basement…DAMN…WHERE HAS ALLL THE GOOD STUFF, GONE?
PLLLLEASE SAY K’ s, LOL…
Her body is disturbing in dresses ?
Why she got on a onesie
They should have given her a feminine hygiene company. That would probably have helped her image a little more…
so her mgmt works with Monami in some aspect? how very convenient she has a huge release party same night LHHAtl debuts the new season no? no other night? HAD to be last night? umm okay
She needs to flee reality shows. Especially RHOA
Its just plain disturbing. Dysmorphia like chit.
I like K Michelle, she is really sensitive but I like her. I hope she does the Country and Western music. there is way more money on that side of the genres.
Makes no damn sense. I can’t even admire without thinking if her ass stinks ?
That’s a very nice and polite way of saying it…
To the man with the biggest eggplant.
Your name >>>>>. I literally hollered.
WEAK.
…You have to use TV because black artist don’t get TV, often. You have to use TV to your advantage and know how to use it.”…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She DOES know she was/is on LOVE & HIP HOP…a predominantly BLACK cast, buuuut I get it…you said ARTIST & sadly most are NOT on this show–with a select few (can only think of YOU) most are HAVE-BEEN, NEVER WAS, CAN’T QUITE GET IT…I SEE YA SHADE, MICHELLE…
?????
? Yup
Not a fan of her music but congrats to her
The girl in the yellow and black dress looks like a big girl version of Foxy Brown. The girl in the denim shirt, I like her hair.
I don’t understand her explanation of how her label will work. If Atlantic is just going to put its people in place and run her label, then what is the point??
KMichelle is the only one on that ratchet show who actually has some real business. Oh and now Stevie. The rest of them….sigh. And is that Real and Chance brother on the show now?! (Real question)
You can do dual things in a 24-hour day. LOL Go to the porty and watch the re-run at 12……..like I did. :lipquiver: LMAO
I will say that I would like for her to break into country and do it well however that bird ass TV and her bird ass ways will have to cease.
Tigger exposing all his teefus
She actually sold 61,000 Sandra, I know you and Michelle don’t care for her but it’s no reason to lie about her actual sales.
I did not watch so was it the same old same old?
Foxy Brown is a big girl version of Foxy Brown now. *giggles* She put on some weight.
It’s not lol
I went out to watch the game…and thus only watched the first 30 minutes of this. Never probably will finish.
LOL…RIGHT…HEY THE OTHER DAY WITH THE WEIRD NAMES…HOW DID WE GET FORGET LAPRINCIA BROWN BOOOOBBY (GREAT WHITNEY VOICE, LOL) DAUGHTER…TI & TINY NAMED THEIR NEW BUNDLE HEIRESS…LOST MONEY CAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PRINCESS, LOL…
K’s.
The clip I saw, the guy looks just like them. Or it might just be the hair.
Well……you know what they been saying…… *giggles*
HATE HER ANTICS…BUT HER UPBRINGING WAS THE TRUTH. I’M HERE FOR K!!! AND THE “MAKE THE BED” TRACK IS NICE…SHE ALSO HAS A CUT WITH TRINA AND GOTTI. STAND ALL THE WAY UP MEMPHIS!
Mimi was a dyke just like I spilled to you lmao. You was like WITH WHO. I aint know at the time. But she with ole girl who look like Frankie Lymon.
Of what? L&HH or K. Michelle’s release porty. I watched 15 mins of it. Long enough to eat a midnight snack, LITERALLY and go to bed.
I said last night he look JUST like Real. GIRL. Its uncanny
She acknowledges her issues, but now it’s time to fix them. I know she’s just exhausted.
LOL!!! Good point.
A girl who looks like who?! #Dead omg. Mimi all over the damn place. Stevie still with Jose? Rasheeda still thinking she is a rapper? Young Joc still on looking pre musty? Scrappy still doing nothing?
LaPrincia is a bad name. I’m sorry. She is a pretty girl, but that name… And Bobby says it like it was the greatest name EVER. But that’s because he loves her. And that’s what matters. ??
The show. LHHATL
That is what they said Mimi lady look like. GIRL I DIED. All of that what you said happened I do think. I was tryna catch the re-watch. But I havent seen none of it in chron order.
I’m not really a fan…but good for her, I suppose
…ooookkkaayy…SHE DOES WEAR GREAT HAIR…HER SHOW, SHE’S JUST A MODERN DAY CHAMELEON–blonde hair, black hair, long hair, short hair…I GOTTA GIVE HER THAT, SHE WEARS GREAT HAIR…LIKE KELLY ROWLAND, TONI BRAXTON–EVEN CYNTHIA BAILEY IS VERSATILE & GREAT AT IT.
I dont care for this lady. I have a friend like her. Always on some mess. Always blames others. And for the life of her cant understand why she CANT go around acting a certain way. And why its holding her back. WHY SHE doesnt get promoted at work. Asked to be on church committees etc. In HER mind she is “just being herself”. And everyone ELSE should adhere.
She would be MUCH bigger if she would just stop her mess. She is HELLA talented.
Folks like that you deal with a long handled spoon. Not too close. Because that gets old real quick.
it was a typo maybe?
New post
I like K’s new single “Not A Little Bit.” Serious question…she said she was getting rid if a lot of her lower body “enhancements.” Did she decide not to or has she not done it yet because she still looks…enhanced.
Her homegirl (I think Puffy or P.Diddy) & that ACCENT, LOL…even K’s…BUT Memphis–I keep forgetting his name is Mephitz or something like that…was going to say a little too close for comfort…HER & THAT DAMN BOBBY…DONE STOLE HER ISH/BROKE IN HER HOME & WANTS HIS FAKE JEWELRY BACK, LOL
THIS. She probably tryna figure out WHY she wasnt picked up for season 3. Folks only want to see your messiness but so much ma’am
Thats the worst.
Kinda like somebody who’s got odor issues… and everybody in the room knows it but them.
I see what you did there. *hot tears*
You can say my name. LMAOOOOOOO j/k
LMAO
I don’t understand whyyy she couldn’t UNratched for one day..I mean the see through red dress with your BLACKazz nipples showing through..which shows you bleach cuz no matter how light you get them nipples are gone stay the same culah…i can’t…
I…..think….I….just…..died!!!!!!!!!! _______________flatline
YOU TALKING ABOUT JESSICA DIME? SHE SEAUXXX MEMPHIS
I like her, but that azz looks horrible. The try not to show it too much on her show, LOL!
You know who Im talking about. The one who just doesnt get it. Been my homie since HS. I do her resume every YEAR. She gets mad and abandons jobs bc she is loud and brash and “just being myself”
Country music is very conservative. They’ll probably let her do a duet with another country artist, but their not trying to take Michelle seriously. In other words, she wouldn’t be asked to perform at the CMA show, SOLO.
LMAO!
Almost thought it was Keisha Cole…except for the big hips. I thought she had reverse surgery for movies? And now she is signing artists?? Though she was done with reality shows to be more focus on music then got her reality show to have it cancel..
What is she aiming in her career?? She is getting me so confused…where is Iyanla? She could be in “Fix my Life: Fix My Career” Music Industry edition
Kfoot (West Indian term for knock knee) Michelle makes music for the high school girls that think they’re in love and got their heart broken by Tequan n em. Her music does nothing for me sorry
Jeez – are her and Keisha Cole related?? Man they look like sisters – more that Keisha and Neffie do… Pretty girls!!
I kinda like K.
this annoying bird….
I heard she couldn’t. That it’s impossible.
First Atlanta, then NY/NJ, then LA, then London…now Atlanta, she’s making me dizzy… Slim Thug Pimp Hand Strong Mona got all these people dazed and confrused!
I am rooting for K.M. but I don’t want her to ruin her brand….MORE.
The nails….. how can you take care of your pocket book???
Has anyone heard her music, I need a female summer album that I can play all the way through like MJB, does ahe have “it” or what. And which song is about Idris?
Best wishes to her. I saw K in concert circa 2008 with Rruh because Molester oops Pleasure P went awol after those accusations. She’s hella talented but the mouth popping off is what has gotten in the way. I see her trine to do better tho…
Real sadly passed last year and his hurr was silkier than that mess whomever had on his head last night.
On Sandra’s part yes, K. Michelle posted her sales on her Instagram page.
I LOVED this new album. She is cray cray but her music is on point. I am happy that Atlantic is still riding with her. Some other blogs were reporting gloom & doom for her because of the “low” 1st week sales. They need to just go ahead & start lowering the expectations of album sales for most artist.
I remember when mediocre artists could sale like 200K copies of their record in the first week because there was no other way of getting the music. No internet, no downloading, no streaming, etc, etc. It’s a different world now.
“what I don’t want to do is get so caught up in doing what I’m doing that I halt someone else’s dream.”
Beautiful. Respect.
I haven’t had the chance to hear the entire album but her song ” Not a little bit” stays on repeat. That girl can sang!!!!!!!! The beat is crazy and the words, I’m playing it right now. If Kay put her crazy aside she could possibly set the music scene on fire.
Tokyo Stylez is her snatch maker (as well as many other celebs)…IG him and thank me later *smooches*
I’ve seen him before. I didn’t know he was HER wig maker. He’s good. I don’t have IG.
You and I must have the same friend. Hella baby daddies cause don’t nobody stick around to make a second child. Hella profressions. Hella jobs but I gotta play her reference. Hella houses but crap rental history. Hella, hella, hella mess.
Every story starts with “this muthaphuka” or ends with “what they need to understand is…”. Nah bruh, what you need to understand is IT’S YOU!
Um ask Tamar…that’s where their beef began…
Um ask Tamar…that’s where their beef began…
I thought KM was retiring from the industry
I thought KM was retiring from the industry
She actually sold 59,000… lol
She said its a gradual process
I love this chica. She is the ghetto version of me. 50K ain’t bad in today’s industry, especially when you singing that real shit.
The blond hair suits her. Big up to Big Tigger
Lmbooooo
I thought she had a butt reduction ??
Over a wig maker? No way!
Tigger….What’s good with the zippers on the side of your shirt???…IJS…Something a chick would wear>>>>
I’m not sure about her anymore…seems like she is just holding Keisha Cole’s spot…idk…just not feeling her.
