VIBE magazine recently met up with Teairra Mari for a fun interview. Teairra reveals her girl crushes and if she would ever date a bisexual man and much more. Enjoy the read below!
Rate Drake’s singing from 1-10.
Teairra Mari: I would have to give him a seven or eight because all his notes are really on. That’s what it’s about. You don’t have to know how to sing like Aretha Franklin or Patti Labelle to be a good singer. As long as you’re on key and you have a good rhythm… that’s what makes a good singer. It’s all about the notes.
Got any hidden talents?
I can make my feet touch my head. You know that little lean back thing [Laughs] people do in the circus when they make their toes touch their heads. It’s a backwards bend, but you’re laying on your stomach and you bend your back and your feet all the way to reach your head. I can do that really good [and] I can put my leg around my head too. I’m very flexible.
Your sponsor must enjoy that.
[Laughs] Yeah.
Did you do gymnastics as a young’un?
No, I’ve just always been flexible. The first time I did anything flexible, I was having this dance contest with somebody and I love to win so I didn’t even know if I could do splits, but as soon as she started to do them really good I jumped into the splits really hard like Pow!
Did you win the contest?
Oh yeah. It was over after that.
Who’s your white girl crush?
Megan Fox! I think she’s gorgeous. She’s had the right [plastic surgery] done because I saw before and after pictures…
Word?
Yeah girl, Google it [Laughs].
And she still counts?
If you get the wrong work people judge you, but if you get the right work, why hate?
Who’s your black girl crush?
Just based off swag and being sexy, I’m going to say Nicki Minaj.
Would you ever go for a kiss?
Yeah, maybe a peck [Laughs].
Would you ever date a bisexual man?
No.
Why not?
I don’t think I can get with it. I have a lot of gay friends and the way they be talking about their sexual escapades… I don’t know if I can keep up [Laughs].
Share your worst hair experience.
I’ve had so many. [Laughs] I would have to say one time I dyed my hair this orange-red color and it was hideous. I was around 19 and then the lady that put the weave in had a full-head wig weave. I never get a full head weave, just half. Everything looked horrible.
What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done drunk?
I’m not really a crazy drunk, [but] the craziest thing was maybe throwing up on someone’s lap. That’s the most unconscious thing I’ve ever done, but usually when I’m drunk I’m pretty awake and know what’s going on.
Do different liquors have different effects on you?
Dark liquor makes me violent, tequila makes me want to have fun and vodka makes me chill and observant
So you’ve been in a bar fight before?
When I was drunk? No. That doesn’t mean I didn’t grab someone’s ponytail, but fight? No.
What’s your favorite childhood game?
I used to love the board game Life. That was one of my favorites because as a child I always thought about the future and what I wanted.
Do you have a kinky fetish?
This is so typical girly-girl, but I have a shoe fetish and that’s my most honest answer [Laughs].
We need more honesty. How ‘bout a real fetish?
I like short guys. I never understood it. That’s just what I’ve liked my whole life. All my friends would see tall guys and be like ‘Oh my God he’s so sexy’ and I would never get it. I’d be like ‘I like him over in the corner that you can’t really see’ [Laughs].
Do you have an industry BFF?
No, I have friends but not a BFF. I have to be honest, I’m a little guarded with my industry friendships. You never know what people are out for— it’s hard to tell. You don’t want to go through life thinking that everybody’s out to get you or everybody, but I am guarded.
What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made in your career thus far?
Trusting the wrong people. That’s why I’m a little guarded now because I was burned by people I gave my undivided trust to.
What was the situation?
There’ve been a few honestly, where I’ve told people things and I heard it back through other sources… people in the industry that I would never tell anything to. But the one thing about me is I learn from all my mistakes. Believe that.
