Hey Cupcakes,

Thanks for all of you checking out The Planet Abiola Show and sending your love and support on VH1's Tough Love. I was unsure about doing this interview. Gorilla Zoe came uptown to hang out with me in Harlem. We had an open, honest conversation about negative media images, drug usage and children. Check it out.

It's the Super Producer Kwame breaking down hip hop from Rakim to Soulja Boy. For those not in the know, K 1 Mil is way past his polkadelic days and producing for Christina Aguilera, Snoop Dogg, Keyshia Cole, Beyond Belief, The Pussycat Dolls and more.

Hey Cupcakes,

My video interview with LL Cool J is below. Feel free to revel and indulge.

LL Cool J definitely lives up to the hype. I bit my tongue and didn't tell this man that I have had a crush on for two plus decades that I met him as a tween in Green Acres Mall in Long Island. My best friend Ginger and I summoned up the nerve to step up and he smiled. Ginger then blurted out, "I can't believe this sh*t." Then LL got offended and turned to attend to other more attentive autograph seekers. Damn her!! lol

Then two summers ago I hiked it with my friends into Brooklyn for an outdoor LL concert. I kicked off my heels and danced and sang in the sweaty August heat for hours. My main character Maya in Dare is not surprisingly totally obsessed with Cool J!! However, upon finally interviewing him I was not struck by his handsomeness which is apparent to even Stevie Wonder. I was struck by his intelligence, patience and sensitivity.

My team had technical difficulties that were INSANE that day, and while his team completely freaked out and watched the clock, he was like, "Yo. It's all good." And we shared a private convo about writing, goals etc. I look forward to hanging with the self-proclaimed Greatest of All Times again soon. I am pleased that my childhood crush faded into genuine peer respect.

Watch & enjoy,
Abiola

Hello Cupcakes!

Who doesn't know the song Lady Marmalade? Even before it was re-immortalized with new fierceness by P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Mya, Missy Elliot & Lil Kim, the song was/is a dance floor staple. The entire week before our conversation I was buzzing about getting to interview Miss Patti and talk about soul music, food and good living. Isn't Patti Labelle everyone's imaginary aunt?

I knew vaguely in the back of my mind that Patti Labelle had come from a girl group but when I began to research these ladies I found so much more. The group Labelle were trendsetters in fashion, music and politics. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with each of them about their musical influences and complex lives. Then guess what? Patti Labelle told me that I was "a good interviewer!!" And then she said that our "conversation was very uplifting." What, I ask you, can be better than that? Thanks Aunt Patti.

Our lesson from Labelle? Don't be afraid of innovation and you are never to old to live your dreams. At 65 these ladies are on and poppin' and not afraid to work with true musical mavericks (let's reclaim the word) like Lenny Kravitz and Wyclef Jean. Thank you Sarah Dash, Nona "Style Diva" Hendryx and Patti Labelle.

Hail to the goddess queens! WATCH THE INTERVIEW ABOVE.
