where you came from? Like URL fans all love you. NuNu Nellz – Well it’s just the supporters. I do get love from the female battle rappers. How could you not show me love when I repost your battles. I have a following just like them so some of the battle rappers are busier than others so you need someone to show your material. You need the views. That’s what you’re doing it for. The views get you exposure and exposure gets people to buy your music. I don’t get paid for this. It’s all out of love. So the battle rappers show me love, but some don’t. For some reason they attack me. Why? I don’t know. I’m assuming because maybe they had a battle and I didn’t think they won, but besides a few I do get love. Jon Rines – So how did you get on Battle Rap Arena? NuNu Nellz – Actually, Instagram. I made it two months ago, I don’t rap, I’m not on there naked and it’s like I got followers that quick (Laughs). So it’s like, Norbes posted he was looking for a cohost. I was joking around and said “That’s my spot!” I was just joking, but I reposted it and told people to give me a hundred likes to know it’s real. I got like two-hundred likes and people started tagging him. Don Lady started threatening him, jokingly and he hit me up and told me when it’s airing and I was just crazy promoting it. Couple of battle rappers kept posting it and my followers started reposting it and that was it. Now I’m on Battle Rap Arena. Jon Rines – Congrats on that! They needed a female and it works too. NuNu Nellz – I know! (laughs) I’m like the queen of the show. Jon Rines – (laugh) So how was the first show? NuNu Nellz – Everyone treated me like family. It was a great vibe. It’s supposed to be like an ESPN feel. Actually Norbes started it off. Normally you don’t want to cut anyone off, but you gotta cut Norbes off (laughs). People was tweeting and on IG telling me, “Yo turn up! Turn up!” Cause Norbes would keep talking so when I came back from our first break, I was turnt up (laughs). 12
