 "Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood" reality star Sincere Show opened up to MStars News about what actually happened between Masika Kalysha and Yung Berg the night of their domestic dispute, Teairra Mari's career, and the release of his latest single, "Not On Forbes." 

MStars News: What made you get into music?

Sincere Show: "I never actually said I was a party promoter per se. I'm THE party promoter. I'm the king of the actual party stuff. The music thing is my first passion what I did first when I came to L.A. from Chicago as a musician. I started doing parties 3-4 years ago cause I just wanted to make some money. The music thing wasn't really panning out, I had a deal on the table with No I.D. and he was real interested in signing me, and it just really wasn't moving quick enough. So I needed to make some money. So one thing I was real good at was meeting women, so I just turned that really a fast way to make money. What ended up happening with the party thing was I just became great at it. I excelled more than the average person. Music has always been my first passion so I went back to it."

MN: What inspired your single "Not On Forbes?"

SS: "Obviously, I live in Hollywood. It's a very shallow place. It's an illusion. People don't understand "Hollywood" the name that derived from a magician whose name was Hollows Wood. This was back in the 1800s and he was good with the smoke and mirrors- you know he was the one that invented this trick, the illusion of things. They named the actual town after him because it was the magic of it, the glitz and glamour of it and that's what this city is all about, the illusion of something. Women here, they just expect for a man already be successful -I'm 26-years-old, but for some reason I'm supposed to already have a million dollars. So the point of the song is really just saying, 'look I'm not on Forbes, but I'm well on my way to being successful so if you stay down and you hold me down, we can go get some money together.

MN: How is your relationship with Teairra Mari?

SS: I think it's an incredible record. I mean my brother wrote the song. Yung Berg is the reason why I'm in California to begin with. He brought me here from Chicago. You know we were writing music and I would tour with him and I was signing. I was a very good singer then. I would sing all the songs like people like Ray J or Junior wouldn't make certain spot dates, I would tour with him and I would sing those parts. I've always known him to be a great talent, and he just took that and he made something happen with Teairra. The problem has never been her as a singer or her talent. She just got to get out of her own way and once she does that she'll be successful as a singer.

MN: What is it about Teairra's "own way?"

SS: "From me knowing her, Teairra use to drink excessively and when she gets drunk you know, she's uncontrollable and I think that has a big part of it, but also people like her, she's from Detroit , she grew up in an environment without a father. You got gotta get deep into the core of who a person really is and try to understand why they seem to sabotage themselves. Even Berg, for example, who's been a friend of mine for the past 10 plus years. I've always seen him do or say something at any given point that would hinder his growth and his success and you know I just want to see those two people do better because I believe in them and their talent. So we'll see how their story ends.

MN: Do you know what happened between Yung Berg and Masika Kaysha the night of their arrest?

SS: "Yea I was at the hotel when it all went down. It was unfortunate, but what ultimately happened they bother were intoxicated and they were both in my room a couple of hours before it happened just talking about the buffoonery and the antics at the reunion. They were drunk and some stuff happened at the reunion that I was just telling him - as my brother, I would advise he not be involve himself in certain things because TV is one thing and when we get back to L.A., we got to deal with this stuff in the streets for real. This really my man, so you know, I'm do my best to try and help him and keep him out of trouble. And they left my room on good terms, they went and ate dinner somewhere. I had one of my lady friend from New York there so I entertained her and by the time they got back, it was all bad and you know shit happens. I'm not at liberty to discuss everything that I saw or legal purposes, I know they still dealing with that, but it definitely got a little out of hand. I don't drink, I don't drink and people be drunk. I would say more so on her part, she was the aggressor in the entire situation, I mean even how she gained access to his hotel room was a crime. I just seen all of this happen. You know I wish them the best, they still are in a relationship of some sort so they have to deal with that. They have to deal with each other."

MN: Was the fight really over her credit card decline?

SS: "Let me make this clear. Berg got money. His father is his financial advisor. His father and his mother were rich before Berg ever rapped. Berg's father owns a lot of properties in Chicago and he used to be an Alderman and his mother own a chain of daycares. Berg always had money, that was never the issue. If that was, I wasn't at the restaurant but if there was something like a credit card decline, it has happened to me when I travel and don't notify my bank. Sometime they'll stop activity just to make sure there's no fraudulent activity going on. That's just me speculating, but Berg doesn't have a shortage of money. I know that for a fact!

MN: What do you think about Berg's relationship with Masika?

SS: My opinion about Masika is biased. It started before her and Berg got together. Me and her had a run-in. Masika's the type of person, when she loves you, she gonna go hard. When she hate you, it's the same thing. In fact, it's the same if she wanna destroy you. There's no middle ground with her from my experience with her. I met her through Sean Kingston and like the first week, me and her made like ten- twenty thousand dollars together doing some business overseas in China. She's a smart girl, she's got connections and she know how to make money, but some other stuff happened, it didn't go the way she wanted. Me and her had a big fall out and it was actually the TV show we ended up having a speaking relationship- I would see this girl and wouldn't say two words to her. So I already had reservations prior to her being with him. I warned him and you know, he's grown, he's older than me. If he love her or they say they love each other whatever they got going on that's what they got to figure out on their own. I wish them the best. You won't see no photo-op with me and Masika no time soon, that's just because I have my own reservations about her. I'm not a Masika fan about the way she moves.

MN: Do you think Ray J's image was ruined after the show?

SS: "One thing about Ray J, he's always been this guy that you didn't like but you kind of had to like him. You know he's never been 'Oh, I just love Ray J.' You know he's always been like the butt of a joke but he's made us take him serious. Throughout all the business ventures and stuff you got to respect him at the least. You may not like him, but you got to respect him. He made himself a millionaire and necessarily not off of Brandy. He went and did what he did and made a way for himself. It's Ray J, he's the Love of Ray J. What can he do to destroy his image? That little stuff in Beverly Hills. That's a social injustice, what Ray J gon' be doing grabbing some old white lady's ass. Not to compare Ray J situation to Mike Brown or nothing like that. It's her word against his, he's the young black man. Of course they gonna say he's done something especially if he was drunk as hell and kicked out the cop car window. Dude was drunk. I don't think it's destroying Ray J image. Ray J is Ray J.

MN: If you can kick off two cast members on the show, who would it be?

SS: Soulja Boy and Nia. I don't think... I don't like watching them. They're not entertaining to me. Maybe it's just her. Maybe if he get a new girl, I might be interested or something, but he's corny as s**t to me and she's just there in the mix of it.
