Love Hip Hop Olivia Beef Flex 120123

Olivia Longott proved that her artistic integrity and vision is more important than a quick payday on "Love & Hip Hop" (Mon., 8 p.m. EST on VH1) by turning down a three record deal with EMI. She did so because she would have had to sign away creative control on the deal, and she wasn't ready to do that.

"Now that I've decided not to take the EMI deal, I think it's time I move on to the next step, which is going over my issue with Funkmaster Flex," Olivia said on the show's season finale. She was upset over comments he'd made recently about her career being over, so she went on his radio show to talk things out with him.

"Olivia, you're taking this game so personal," he said to her on the air. "It's about making it happen the best way you can." He said that she should use his words as motiviation to defy him and prove him wrong. "If you give me that hot record, I'm with you," he promised.

So she set off to do just that, and is currently finding success with her newest single, "December."

Look for a "Love & Hip Hop" reunion special next Monday at 8 p.m. EST on VH1.

I love Olivia look and voice, however, she seems a little under-developed. What I don't understand is why she insist on playing in the male dominant hip-hop world when her voice clearly isn't hip hop. She's far too mushy and soft. Also, give Chrissy and Rich the booth and join team Yandy who can hook her up with some real winners in the business, like Missy Elliott... Nothing personal just business.

I definitely feel what flex is saying, dont worry about the na sayers in life you will get much farther. It would have been a power move to come out with your best work while you have the negative buzz. Olivia got caught up in the emotional aspect of it all. -MOBB4U.com
