Jackie O sat down with Hip Hop Weekly and kept it real about being a female artist trying to get into the game and consequently getting exploited. This is what she had to say:
Everybody that signed [to Poe Boy] had gotten their advance money, but when it came time for me to get my advance, I had to f-ck for my advance. It was ten stacks ($10,000) and I had to f-ck for it. So naturally it wasn't something that I'm proud of doing. And I don't advise any female to get into no business - be it music or whatever - and get exploited like that ...
[E Class] told me I had to have sex with him to get the ten stacks. That's how me and him got into a relationship. But that was the situation I had to face, and I made the wrong turn.
But I'm from the hood and if somebody offers you ten thousand dollars at one time to get out of the hood, and lets you go for your dream of doing music, you're gonna run to that.
This is a damn shame! I'm glad she shared her personal experience to open the eyes of female artist whose dying to be in the industry; REMEMBER TO WATCH YOUR SETUP LADIES.
Hearing bs like this urks me because I bet Nelly or 50 cent didn't have to give face shots to get a deal.

Breaking Discovery: Research shows if you're still talking about trying to get in the game, after you thought you were in the game, and then found out you were never picked for the game, YOU'LL NEVER BE IN THE GAME. Common symptoms, we, the dictators of your pathetic lives, constantly have to hear of your news through up and coming hustles. Jackie is suffering from discovitis, a condition common to many, when one feels as though they are it and should have it all. Remedy, let someone slap you to sleep. And furthermore, why would someone think that $10,000 will blow them the fuck up. The problem is, she budget as hell, and wasn't expensive back then, and won't be expensive in the future. I'm just sayin, assume the position Jackie. MAN UP
