Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta reality star, Khadiyah has made her mark on the popular VH1 show after getting into a physical altercation with Karlie Redd who briefly dated the rapper and accused KD of carrying out an affair with the Yung Joc rap star.

Eventually, Karlie gave "It's Going Down" the boot and KD swooped in as his leading lady in his crazy world of 4 baby mama's, an ex-wife, and eight children. The soft spoken successful business woman exclusively spoke to MStars News about her on-and-off again relationship, dealing with his 4 baby mamas and possibly becoming the rapper's second wife one day.

 MT: How does it feel to be a reality star now?

Khadiyah: It's been life changing, to be honest with you. It has its pros and cons. Of course you have some positive things that come from it - you have the ability to have a platform and get additional opportunities and some exposure, which is absolutely positive to me. And then you have the cons, where you have to deal with the reality of revealing some of the intimate personal details of your day to day life, your love life as well as your career. And sometimes people will take that and think well of it and then other times people will take that and criticize it. So it's been a journey for sure.

MT: Last season your fight with Karlie Red seemed to help you get on the show and gain popularity, but did it hurt you professionally?

KD: Last season, my fight with Karlie Red is actually not what helped get me on the show. What it did, it helped get me some exposure. It helped make the producers and the executives take a look at me and want to know about who is Khadiyah? What does she do? How does she respond to situations and circumstances that she may be put in? But what really helped me get on the show was the establishment of my relationship with Joc, because once we became an item then I was really necessary for the show. And at that time, we were not an item.

 I said what I said because she had said so many rude and negative things to me previously, I was just pissed off by that point. And I had told this woman over and over that I'm not sleeping with him but she had pissed me off so much at that point I told her what she wants to hear. If that's what you believe and that's what you want to hear, yeah I'm sleeping with him every single night [laughs]. And it just became a common phrase- I'm learning. But it was when I decided to move forward and have an intimate relationship with Joc, that was what really got me onto the show because once he decided - we've established a relationship, we were starting to live life together - and he decided that he was going to do the show and it was something he really wanted, you know being the supportive woman that I am, I couldn't leave him out there by himself. So I agreed to do it.

MT: What attracted you to someone like Yung Joc, a rapper who has eight kids?

KD: [sighs] Great question, and I agree with you. I am a business woman, anytime I think about opportunities or situations I always try to approach it from that aspect. That's how my mind naturally thinks. And I am a Southern belle, and I do cater to my man, girl. And most of the time I usually cater to my man a little bit, I spoil him. And not necessarily with money and items but spoil them with just the way I treat them. So it's like I set myself up [laughs] and I can't blame anybody but myself. But what attracted me to someone like Yung Joc, because I've never dated celebrities. It's never been my thing to date celebrities or athletes. I usually date men like me, a professional. But what attracted me to him honestly, it was the friendship. It started off as truly just a friendship and we built a strong bond. And that friendship, it turned into me giving and loving and caring about his well-being. And if you love and care about someone's well-being and you think highly of yourself, you're considerate like that, you're going to want someone to be with you because you know you'll take care of them. You'll have their best interest at heart and that's really how it got started. But then he's also very funny, we have so fun together and we started spending a lot of time together with some of the projects that we worked on when we were friends. He's so charismatic and he'll make you love him, one way or another.

MT: But after he'd done you wrong so many times, what is that one thing that keeps you coming back?

KD: I have a forgiving heart and it's love. I understand going into the relationship with Yung Joc, he had so much new situations going on in his life that, as a man, I realized in the beginning he may not know exactly how to handle this because it's all new to him. When I started dating him, he didn't have eight kids but he knew he had eight kids on the way. And he had just had a set of twins, so he had six. And those two were brand new. So I had to understand and be realistic with myself like okay, this is a man. You know how men are sometimes but he hasn't had an opportunity to what his new life is going to be like. And he created this new life for himself before I became intimate with him. But, I did have that part of me that's like give him some time to adjust. He doubled in more than one way: he went from two mothers of his children in twelve months to four mothers of his children, he went from four children in twelve months to eight. That's two doubles and that's a lot for someone to adjust to and I took that into consideration, I did have a lot of compassion for that. So that's probably one of the reasons why I was more forgiving and willing to, if he made the proper amends and had good intentions, I turned out to be more forgiving.

MT: Why is it that you always butt heads with Sina but you don't get into it as much with the other three women? Why is it only Sina?

KD: Well it's not only Sina, to be honest with you. I do butt heads with number three and number four: Carla and Sina. Number one [Fatimah], we've had our situation but we were both adults about it and we talked about it, worked it out instantly. There's never been another problem. Number two [Alex], is now current ex-wife, we butted heads, talked it out like women and haven't butted heads again. It hasn't been a problem. Not to mention they understand, number one and number two, they have allowed me to have access to their children. They've trusted me with the care of their children when they're with Joc and I [sic] for weekends or holidays or school breaks, whatever it may be. And so knowing that, we keep in mind that the kids are what's most important so those times when we did butt heads, we made it a point to immediately work it out for the betterment of the children. The difference is, number three and number four. Number three doesn't really want to accept that I'm the number one woman in his life. So she doesn't even want to have a relationship, she doesn't even want to attempt to make things cordial with me. She would rather me just not be around, so I've never even been able to meet her children. Number four, Sina, she ghetto as hell [laughs] that's the number one reason why I have the most problems with her because she's hood. Like she always wants to talk some smack and I'm just one of those people like I won't necessarily initiate a confrontation but you're not going to talk smack and you're not going to be disrespectful. I'm going to stand up for myself. And so that's it seems like, or it may appear I have more problems with her. And it's not even appear, I have had more problems with her. But it's because she's that way.

MT: If she's "hood" why does she always bring up the time that you came to her house and you beat her a**?

KD: Because she wants to have something to talk about. That is the only way she made it on the show, is by talking about that. She wants to have something to talk about and that is how she made it onto the show. It was like, what? Khadiyah did what? But she didn't tell the whole story. It was a whole lot more to it then what she always likes to say but she tries at every attempt she can to paint me in the worst light possible. And to her, if I'm a professional and I make money and I got businesses and Joc wants me over she's always going to try to paint me in the worst light possible and unfortunately that's the only thing she has to discuss.

MT: Has he divorced Alex yet? And do you ever see yourself marrying him?

KD: He has divorced Alex, they divorced each other just for the record. It was a mutual thing and they had both agreed to do it years ago but for their own reasons it took some time and that's their business. But it is finalized. And do I ever see myself marrying him...I could see myself marrying Joc but what I cannot see is marrying baby mama three and four because they come along with him.

MT: Do you think he'll ever change his ways and be monogamous and manage number three and four?

KD: Yes, I do. Honestly I do. I've already begun to see changes in Joc because it's a different type of reality when - it's one thing to go through it and know what your reality is and you can separate and segment different situations and manage them appropriately. And then it's another thing to incorporate them all together and then you see it through your own eyes on TV, on national TV. You realize it in a whole different light; it's enlightening. And I believe seeing what has been constructed in his life and the best way to manage it because you're playing with, not even playing with you're dealing with different personalities, different hearts, women that still want to be with you, want to try to hold your kids hostage if you don't come sleep with them or choose them as the number one.

When you see it, what you've created on TV, I believe for the average person at least, and especially for the above average person, you realize okay I've got to get this in order. And I've got to handle these situations properly. And I will say that I believe Joc is above average intelligence and he has realized what was been made in his life relationships that he has to deal with for life. And in order to have some peace and some happiness with who he wants to be with intimately, he's got to make the tough decisions and I've seen the change in him. I do believe that he could be monogamous and be committed it's just he went through a tough period of adjusting to total new creations.

MT: So what does your family think about him?

KD: My family fell in love with Joc shortly after I fell in love with Joc. But since they have seen and found out about some things that have transpired that are not positive on his part, they're not happy. At the same time, they understand that I am such a strong, adamant, independent woman I won't allow anyone to make a decision for me. I always make my own decision. If I trust you I will take our thoughts and opinions into consideration but I will always make my own decisions. Because they know what my personality type is like they don't try to push anything on me one way or the other, but they're not happy with what they've seen lately.
