SUNDAY 1st SEPTEMBER 2002
South Beach, Miama, Florida
I’m not going to write much because I am
on holiday with my girls, Beria (my PA and DJ Sassy Wear Director), Betsie
(Georgio Beverley Hills Model) and Emma (Press Officer). We are all in
MIAMI and it’s the first time they have been here, however, Miami is my
second home so I am showing them around. It’s good to see my cousin Radamas,
MC Shystie and Antonio (Bed Club). I wanted to chill out really, but there’s
no chance of that in South Beach! We have another typical night in Miami…All
meet in the hotel lobby and go for dinner. I want to take the girls down
to ‘Nicki’s Beach Party’. On the way we almost get knocked down by a truck
and Martin Lawrence steps out to apologise! He is in South Beach filming
the sequel to ‘BadBoys’ and tells us he is going lapdancing and invites
us along. We decide to go, why not?! I also bump into a ballplayer I know
and he says he wants to come too. We arrive at the darkest lapdancing
club in Miami, very seedy, Martin thinks I am too straight so decides
to get me a lapdance in the back room - interesting! All my girls get
their own dance too : well you can’t visit without one I guess?!
TUESDAY 10th SEPTEMBER 2002
Fashion Show BHS, London
Oh no a lingerie section! I’ve just got back from holiday and regret
the pinnacoladas I had with Beria, Emma and Betsie (my best girlfriends)!
Oh well, show went well but I’ve decided to give up drinking!
WEDNESDAY 11th SEPTEMBER 2002
Fly to Kuala Lumpur at 9.00pm.
THURSDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2002
Arrive, meet the promoters, they are really cool. They take us out and
show us around, I get a Shiatsu massage - LOVE IT -although it really
hurt! Don’t get that much sleep because of jet lag. Try to call
my mates, feel a bit lonely, but I can’t work out the dialing code.
Watch TV and fall asleep.
FRIDAY 13th SEPTEMBER 2002
Orange Club, Kuala Lumpur
We go out for drinks B4 the club. My mate fancies a beautiful woman, who
turns out to be a man (he will never hear the end of it!). We have a laugh
and go to the club. It’s a great place and the other DJs are cool
especially the MC, wassup G? Anyway, have a good time playing there and
Jay gets on the mic, Clarins give me a big hamper, Thank You x. We all
party till late, then I go and grab breakfast with the guys from the Kuala
Lumpur radio show and our bodyguard, who shows me some more moves in the
car park.
SATURDAY 14th SEPTEMBER 2002
Grind Party, Singapore
Up early, starting to feel tired. I manage to spend £150 in the
local pharmacy with the hope I will be revitalized - it works! I fly to
Singapore with Jackie who really looks after me. We take a taxi to Sentoz
Island - oh my goodness PARADISE! I immediately feel at home, although
it’s nothing like South London?! It seems a spiritual place. The
hotel is beautiful so I opt to sleep for a few hours, phone OFF the hook!
Wake up, Jay says I have some interviews to do, so I get ready put on
some jeans and a bikini top - hiphop - cause I’m playing on the
beach - yes, thank you God, I wish all my clubs were on the beach! Thousands
of people have come down. There are pictures of me in my underwear everywhere;
I do some interviews for MTV, Cleo and some music mags. I meet all da
gals from Perfect 10 and MTV, hiya!x Also Roslyn who I’ve been talking
to loads on the phone, she’s a Londoner too, and really cool. The
crowd is great although mainly men - I didn’t notice this until
my friend pointed it out! I grab a few of the guys up on to the stage
to breakdance and mc, also a girl, Kim, she was great! Had so much fun!
Afterwards, I go out to meet some of the people, who turn out to be from
Australia, England, New York as well as the gorgeous locals, who all have
beautiful tattoos! A few hours later Jay and the promoters say I only
have a few hours to catch my flight, so they drag me back to the hotel.
I really don’t want to leave! There’s a big cockroach on my
bed?! I pack my stuff, wash my hair and we’re off - I feel great!
Get on the plane back to Kuala Lumpur, then to London, don’t feel
so great now, GOOD NIGHT. X
FRIDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2002
Sound Club, London
Looking forward to seeing my manager Susan Hedges at Sound Club, also
Fiona and Trevor Nelson, who is playing with me. Beria comes over at 11.30
and I drive to Central London. Over two thousand people show up, we have
a great night as always!
SATURDAY 21st SEPTEMBER
Lincoln University, Hull
Playing tonight with Lisa Unique who plays Garage. Beria comes over and
we get completely lost on the way up there! Bump into Bronze and Black,
wasssup! It takes about 6 hours to get there! A strange but nice man who
we meet at the traffic lights helps us find our way - thank you. I get
there just in time, played an old skool set, then lost my scratch needles!
Drove six hours home.
WEDNESDAY 25th SEPTEMBER
Kent University, Canterbury
Well what can I say? - I arrive and get locked in the toilets
with Beria! Luckily I had reception on my phone and called the promoter
who managed to get us out with a screwdriver just in time for my set!
The crowd was fantastic - I love you Kent Uni! We have a phat party -
they love their ragga - can’t wait to go back!
FRIDAY 27th SEPTEMBER 2002
Guildhall University, London
Drive to Guildhall Uni, meet Sanjit the promoter. Some nice guys help
me with my boxes, thank you. Play an underground set, then 2K Entertainment
go on - Hey Guys! We had a good time. Then go to the Sports Café
to grab some food.
