Lil Debbie has parted ways with the White Girl Mob and is looking to establish herself with the release of her forthcoming EP entitled California Sweetheart.
She sat down with HipHopDX to chop it up about her career, being blacklisted, Miley Cyrus stealing her style, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, ghostwriting and more.
On ghostwriting
I'm never going to sit in front of a camera and be like 'I write every single word on my verses' because I don't. I hate every white female artist that is sitting there fronting that they do write their own sh*t. But so may people do it. Some of people's favorite songs that are on the radio right now are ghostwritten. I don't see what's wrong with it. I mean, I don't even wanna say it, but some of Beyonce's... Nicki Minaj, most of her stuff is purely hers, but I've heard from a couple of people that some of her stuff, like the tune, the way the flow is, sh*t like that might be written. I might be wrong, who knows.
On being blacklisted and Miley Cyrus stealing her identity
I feel like I've been blacklisted within the industry. I'm just gonna say this right now. Miley Cyrus has reached out to multiple white female rappers that I've been involved with and that I've reach out to, and people completely ignore me. I think that goes along with identity theft... It f*cking sucks. I would have rather been Miley Cyrus' friend and would have been girly-girly with her, than to feel the way I feel towards her. I don't wanna feel like she stole my f*cking sh*t from me. I don't wanna feel like that, but when I see her converse with all these other female rappers I get butt hurt about it.
On Iggy Azalea
I reached out to Iggy Azalea before she blew up and the b*tch acted like she was too good for me, and that sucks.

Soon-to-be married couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian land on the cover on Vogue magazine's April issue. Their 9-month old daughter, North West, is also featured in the behind the scenes video released by the publication.
Both Kanye and Kim took to Twitter to thank Vogue and share the news with their followers.
This is such a dream come true!!! Thank you @VogueMagazine for this cover! O M GGGGGG!!! I can't even… http://t.co/CbD5ThUqor

Vogue's Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour shot down rumors about West "begging" her to put Kim on the cover.
My opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover. He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn’t true. There’s barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian Wests haven’t been able to master, and for good reason: Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world’s spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that.

Complex caught up with 50 Cent earlier this week at Sirius XM's "Town Hall." The G-Unit Records CEO was very candid as he discussed Steve Stoute, Nas Vs. Jay Z, The Lox, Fat Joe and Ja Rule.
On the collaboration with Styles P
It feels really good. It feels like he belongs there. Usually I know when something's really good when it comes on because I wish it was mine. So when he responded [to hearing the song] and said 'Yo, I like that' it was in his veins. And it wasn't a commercial record 'cause Styles ain't that kind of artist.
On why he had a conflicts in the past with Fat Joe and The Lox
My issues with Fat Joe and my issues with The Lox, these things came with my Ja Rule issue. It came from them trying to help him. I can't let you help him while I'm destroying him. When you destroy, you destroy completely. It's one of the 48 laws of power.
On the last industry foe he needs to deal with
I only got one out there I need to get rid of. I'll get rid of him, trust me,it ain't ever over. You watch an artist have momentum and then you kind of let him run out of gas, and you solve it.
On the Jay Z vs. Nas beef
If you would ask someone who listens to lyrics who won between Nas and Jay Z they would say 'Nas ate that boy alive.' But if we looked at Nas and we looked at Jay Z at this point right now we'd see something that reflects something different. It what kind of win are you looking for.
On the misconception that he's a bully and Complex asking him about his conflict with Steve Stoute, but not posing the same question to the record executive during their interview with him.
Why wouldn't you ask him, 'What did 50 say to you?' It just felt like when he came in he was suited up and it didn't feel appropriate. [My clothing] made you ask me that. If I came in a suit you probably wouldn't ask me. In presentation they'll expect me to push the envelope to move the story further. You don't ask him because he's getting into shallow water. He's getting closer to actually getting his ass whooped. Once you start saying things and I actually have to come to you. Who's fault is it? The journalist pushes and pulls, pushes and pulls. And at points asks the question. You didn't force [the artist] to say it. He said it himself, right? But it sets him up. It's set him up to go down that actual lane and some of them are not smart enough not to. They call me the bully... I'm responding to something that he said. If I smack fire out of him in front of Madison Square Garden, where you see skin damn near come off the side of his head. Does anyone say good for him? Or do they go, 'Oh man, why 50 do that? He bullied him, you saw how he did that?' I don't understand it. I don't understand how you're the bully for responding to someone else attacking you.
