Reality Star Natalie Nunn Talks Jay-Leno Chin, Rap Career & Why She Really Went In on Amber Rose
Reality Star and Wiz Khalifa’s ex-baby boo, Natalie Nunn, talks to Vibe about her Jay Leno chin, upcoming business moves (spin-off show and book) and why she’s not feeling Amber Rose.
On her Jay Leno chin: The more people talk about my chin, the more I stay relevant. Who knows because of that I could land on his show! I would be ecstatic. I don’t care about it. It’s not a big deal. And I was prepared for the scrutiny, I remember Meagan Good years back crying to me about what people said about her. Some people have sensitive sides, but I think I lost that when I was toddler [laughs]. I’m keeping this chin!
On her spinoff show coming: Under contract there’s a lot I can’t talk about, but I am doing a countdown on my Twitter page and I think people can guess it. We have 58 days left. I just can’t say it until the network says it first. But I’m sure people know.
On her book: People might be like why am I in her book, but they were just lucky enough to be in my story. And remember, I always keep it real. The book is going to be a little shit starter for sure.
Her rap career: I got in the studio with a couple other producers. While I’ve been working on this EP, I’ve been working with Chuck Harmony who’s done a lot for Ne-Yo, Rihanna. And he was like your so full of personality, even though you’re not necessarily a recording artist you still pop on a track. I’ve also been in the studio with the guys who did “Whip My Hair” and the last producer is Dre Knight who’s worked with Nicki and the whole Young Money track. I’m cutting my first single with him and I am putting out a couple other songs. I don’t know about that [doing an album] yet, but I am doing an EP. The first single is going to be called “I Run LA.”
On her friendship/relationship with Wiz: I’m just gonna be honest. Wiz did definitely stress that he wanted a girlfriend, someone to be enjoy his moments with. It would’ve been great [to be that girl] because Wiz was a fun guy to hang out with, but at the end of the day, I have my calendar. When I was taking time out to hang with Wiz, I was taking time away from a) my rest and b) my money. Those two things right now are the most important things for me. I feel like Wiz needed a girl that doesn’t have anything going on. And that’s not being sarcastic. Wiz wanted me to be somewhere with him every other day and with my work ethic, I couldn’t offer that to somebody. I’m happy that things happened the way it did [also] because it showed Wiz’s true colors. As much as people want to sit here and say Natalie’s the bad guy… Wiz knows [everything I said during my UStream] was the truth.
On if she found out about Wiz and Amber (online), like the rest of the world: Yeah! That is how I really found out, but the day after he was shooting the Black and Yellow remix video he invited me to a party, but I was sick. I did not go. But somehow Amber Rose showed up to the party all in his face and they exchanged information. So the reason I went so hard at Amber is because on Thanksgiving, I hosted a party with her in Texas and we were talking, hanging out and we exchanged phone numbers. She had been nonstop text messaging me since November 25. All of a sudden when she was in Wiz’s face and exchanging information with Wiz at that party, three weeks ago, I have not heard from her since!
On if Amber knew that she was dating Wiz: I didn’t have to. Everybody already knew. There were pictures all over the Internet. At the end of the day, it’s all good. She’s twitpic’n pictures with Wiz and his mom. I have pictures with Wiz and his mom backstage too, but I’m not gonna entertain that. I can entertain a million other things because I have a voice and an outlet where in x amount of days I’ll be back on TV. Some of these bum bitches just ain’t doing shit except jumping on planes and chasing after niggas that got stuff going for themselves. I could not do that for Wiz. I respect him as a person, but Wiz is young. He’s a baby in a lot of ways. There were a lot of things that honestly just weren’t gonna work for me in the first place. I can’t sit up here all day smoking weed, like I can’t. But the main thing was I could not stop what I have going on for nobody right now.
On how she REALLY feels about Amber: She sat up there text messaging me and I have all the text messages. All of her conversations, all of her trying to be, “Let’s go workout together; let’s train.” Then all of a sudden you don’t want to be woman enough to get on the phone and talk to me about the situation. Yeah, I got a problem with you, straight up. Amber needed to be a grown ass woman ‘cause we all know the bitch is like 35 years old. She’s been in the game for a cool minute. She’s damn near pushing a whole decade of Wiz and I.
((Editor’s Note: Ouch re: she’s pushing a whole decade though? I like them both-Amber and Nunn–in their own way.))
