An interview with Kotton Kandy
So, as a lot of you have seen, we have been posting a lot of Kotton Kandy lately. Lmao I had no idea about this chick until I saw a post about it in Psychopathic Museum (shout out to all you bootlegging motherfuckers) and just had to find more about her. As luck would have it, I hit her up and was welcomed and she was more than willing to do an interview. I mean, she is Canadian; they’re not going to not be nice, eh? So this is what I came up with.
Firstly the hair, tell me about it. Is it real?
- Obviously not. I don't have the funds or the patience to maintain that shit. If I ever get enough dough to actually get hair like that I would probably get it for real though, I think it would look pretty hot.
Obviously you're influenced by ICP, but what other artist have inspired you? Any we should check out?
- Well I grew up in a strict household where I was forced to listen to a lot of oldies (dad music) but my first rap/hip-hop loves (to name a few) were Missy Elliott, Slim Shady and DMX. When I got into ICP I also got really into TwiZtid, Blaze ya Dead Homie, Tech N9ne, Boondox. I loveeee Molly Gruesome (another dope Canadian 'lette!) who is a big inspiration of mine and Tali Demon is dope as fuck. I hope to share the stage with some of these great artists someday.
What I've seen, you've dealt with more hate than Brock Turner. Have you seen any hate comments they've made you laugh and what were they?
- Well I wouldn’t say I deal with it, I ignore it for the most part but some of the comments I get make me wanna pee my pants lol "just shut up and show me your tits" was a good one. Some chick said I made her want to puke because I'm the reason it's hard for other girls to call themselves 'lettes. Just go die in a bush.
Does the negativity even bother you?
- Never. I've been rejected my whole life by my family and friends... I will keep doing what I do and if it bothers you just stop watching my videos. Simple.
Where'd the name Kotton Kandy come from?
- Ha-ha, juggalo name generator. I knew it would piss people off because it's a common name juggalettes wanna use but I've claiming it and I plan on keeping it cute.
Do you eat a lot of cotton candy?
- Only in my videos but funny story I used to make cotton candy at one of my first jobs... I worked at chuck e cheese. It sucked and made me realize that I hate kids.
Are you worried about diabetes?
- Not at my age but if I die eating what I love then that’s ok with me. It doesn’t run in my family.
What's your overall goal as far as the music goes? Like where do you want to end up?
- I’ve never had the funds available but my dream would be to get an invite to perform at the GOTJ 17. Maybe get signed but there’s no rush for that; I wanna make sure the label is right. I’m working with a local manager in Toronto at the moment to lock down some gigs in the near future.
Can we go to your bedroom and pull your hair?
- Take a number.
Did you see our rumors on Juggalo Memes that you were signed to psychopathic to replace Blahzay? Thoughts?
- It would be dream of mine to be signed to Psychopathic but the only way Blahzay would leave would be if she backs down herself... but really though a female artist I respect what she does. Before I got into the game I won’t lie, I criticized her a bit because her music style (lyrical message) wasn’t something I was used to. She signs about psychological issues I can’t really relate to but the more I listen to it the more I get it though. She’s a good girl and I support her and encourage her to do what she loves. I encourage everyone to do what they love so she wouldn’t be an exception.
Do you like the Juggalo Memes page?
- The page makes me laugh, I love when people think it brings down the image of juggalos but it only does if you can’t take a joke. People need to learn how to laugh at themselves a bit... they act like they got something to prove. Learn how to take a joke lol you’re only kidding yourself. Juggalo Memes is great for offending everyone equally!
Do you think you're better than Blahzay? -Erin Booce
- Not better but completely different. I don't have a team of experienced ninjas in the game to back me up or to help me get hookups for my music and video production. She is better than me in those aspects but I excel at creating my own image. I got no one to look up to for advice or any good hook ups in the game. I am living in Toronto it’s a dead zone for juggalos out here.
What got you into the dark carnival and how long have you been down? -Adnilisor (something something)
- Since I was in grade 9/10... I was so into it that I had to move out of my parents’ house (religious and strict) with my bf at the time who was also a juggalo. We had a carnival themed one bedroom apartment that was pretty cool... it had black lights everywhere. Been into it ever since.
Why don't you try? -Peter Patrarca
- Why don't you try to ask me a better question? Four words? That's laziness...
How did you get the guy on the bike to guest spot in your video? -Mike Hirano
- He rode by and he never turned back...
So there you have it Juggalos, from Kotton Kandy’s mouth, or fingers, herself. She may be different, you may think she’s terrible, but at least she’s working towards her goals by hard work and not swallowing a steamy load of J. Was this interview necessary? Not really, but we love pissing juggalos off.
Go Fuck Yourself,
