After dropping off of the map for a few years, St. Louis
rapper, Chingy has resurfaced and
he’s setting the record straight.
Back in 2010, a transsexual named Sidney Starr, who was looking for 15 minutes of fame, took to the
media to say that she and Chingy had a secret homie-lover-friends undercover
relationship, which set the hip hop world ablaze. Two years later, Sidney
resurfaced to say that not only did she lie about her relationship with Chingy,
but that he didn’t even know she was a transsexual when they met at a show in
Chicago. Unfortunately, by then, the damage was done and Chingy’s career had
already taken a hit.
In a recent interview with VladTV, Chingy speaks for the first time on the false accusations,
and explains the aftermath, which included him losing a record deal and tons of
bad publicity.
See the excerpts below:
On Meeting Sidney
Starr
I remember that day we had that show when me and Ludacris
had that show in Chicago. The promoter had some girl dancers on stage that were
dressed in body paint just for promotion, promoting whatever he wanted them to
promote. And one, who I thought was a young lady, came up to me that wanted a
picture, I just took a picture. I thought she was a fan. I thought it was a
young lady who was a fan. She seemed pretty cool. I took the picture and that
was it.
Two years after that I see something come out of some
bullcrap about this transsexual person was in a relationship with me. I was
just like everybody else. I didn’t have a clue as to what this person was
talking about. But what happened was, it made me not want to take pictures with
people that….with a man that’s in touch with his feminine side a little too
much, or a woman that’s in touch with her masculine side a little too much. It
made me not want to take pictures with those type of individuals.
On being sabotaged
& losing a record deal
Before I got in this business, I didn’t know anything about
somebody trying to sabotage my career [and] my name. That was foreign to me. I
thought, I ain’t did nothing to nobody. Why would they want to try something
like that with me? So that was foreign to me, so when them people did that it
was a shock, but I still was cool. I still was good, but everybody else was
taking to it. It actually…it injured my career a little bit. I watched it
happen. I lost a deal because of that. A record situation. I lost a deal
over that.
How did you know it
was over that?
Because it was said to me. ‘Cause it was so much bad
publicity around that. It’s crazy. So crazy. It’s so crazy man. I’ve never been
through a sabotaging situation like that, and it was so fabricated. False. And
I watched people take to it and it was just crazy. I can’t even…it was beyond
me.
On how he would react
if he saw Sidney Starr today
First off, I’m a humble dude. I’m a forgiving dude. And
that’s another thing…if people know anything about what Jesus spoke of in the
Bible you know it was about love and forgiveness. So, I’m a forgiving dude. I
would tell that person…which I’ve already told that person how I felt about it
because that person contacted my people. I forgave them. I forgave the person
because it ain’t no need for me to hold no grudge. It don’t mean that just
because that person chose to be evil don’t mean that I gotta be evil right
along with them. I’ma stay good-natured. Stay good-hearted. I would tell that
person that was pretty messed up. That was foul. I [ended] up losing a lot for that.
While they was trying to gain something that they still didn’t gain and trying
to walk over people to get where you wanna get, that’s not the way to go. That
ain’t it. Because a circle is 360 degrees. So what that tells me is what comes
around, goes around.
I think Chingy should have definitely sued for defamation of
character…its all good, I guess everything is in the past now.
