Kash Doll was met with mass praise during a recent performance in Detroit; however, the “Ice Me Out” rapper says the love from her hometown wasn’t always there.

“In my hometown, I proved myself. It wasn’t [always] like that,” says Kash Doll. “It was at a point where I used to cry. I was like, ‘Why they hate me so bad?'”

Today, Kash Doll doesn’t focus on music charts and fan validation, nor does she plan to the crowd just to stay on top of the rap game. The “BMF” actress tells Atlanta Black Star that these days her main priority is her 1-year-old son Kashton.

Check out the full interview as the Detroit emcee talks about women rappers, her viral hair, the state of her career, and more.
