Diamond (rapper)

Brittany Nicole Carpentero (born May 20, 1988), better known by her stage name Diamond, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. Quotes Working on my album…I’m about to drop The Young Life, which is my LP. I shot about three videos, and I drop one video tomorrow-called American woman. So I’m working on getting the visuals together. I’m going to do about 10 or 11 videos, in the mean time I’m working on my album. I have a lot of lessons. But my biggest one is to make sure that you have a lawyer to look at your paperwork. We had a situation where, someone was stealing money from us and also there was a cease and desist on our project because at the time my management didn’t pay one of the writers who wrote on the album. We had no idea, we were touring, and so we had to sit out about 9 months until that actually got worked out. I think that it’s really important to make sure you have a lawyer. I know sometimes you can be eager to get the deal done, eager to get the money but it’s not worth it. So I would suggest that everybody get a lawyer. I think I’ve passed that challenge but I will speak for all the other female rappers. Just being a woman period, in the industry, in a man’s world, it’s really hard. For me, it’s overcoming things and showing that I can stand as an individual outside of Crime Mobb. And as a woman from the South, New York and the West coast are always known to run things in hip-hop. So I feel like I’ve actually overcame that. But it was a challenge because Southern artists aren’t really as lyrical so NY so it’s a bit challenge. But I think for me as Diamond, I don’t face that challenge. It’s a blessing. A lot of time I tell my manager, “I’m getting old now” you know when I turn 27, I got to stop and he’s like man “you still a baby”. But I guess because I’ve been doing it for so long that I feel older. Must people are just getting started. It’s a blessing. That’s my best. We’re best friends. His ambition, his drive to challenge himself to take on other challenges not just musically. It’s him being a businessman and matching his brands with other things. I want to say he’s one of the first ones that initiated me to think on that level, when I started spending more time with him. That’s the same thing I said. It is what is it. I’m not looking to be his friend; I don’t want to be his friend. At some point we need to make amends. I’m to the point now, because I know at one point he was trying to reach out, and I was still angry from a lot of things that happened in the past. I think I’m to the point now where I could… [Interview] Rapper Diamond Talks Dating Soulja Boy, Why She Declined LHHA Reality Show + Making Amends With Lil Scrappy;By Kellie Williams on October 25, 2012 External links Category:Rappers from the United States Category:Hispanic Americans Category:Living people Category:1988 births Category:Women from the United States Category:Women born in the 1980s Category:People from Atlanta
