Somaya Reece's Dating Tips

The voluptuous Somaya Reece offered ladies a few pointers when it comes to dating. Namely, Reece pointed out exactly how a woman can tell how a man feels about her. She says its all in the eyes, and that a woman should pay attention to how her man looks at her.

If he looks at all.

"The automatic red flag is if they're not doing any of those things and especially if they can't give you eye contact," she told SOHH. "If a man can't give you eye contact, you should know you're already in the booty call zone. He's not trying to look at you, girl. To me, not getting eye contact is always a red flag."

"If you don't have enough respect to look at me in my eyes while you speak to me, then we can't have a second date," she added. "Make some eye contact because when the lights are out, no one's looking at each other. The first thing with me is always the eye contact."

Somaya Getting Breast Reduction?

"Love & Hip Hop" star Somaya Reece is getting a breast reduction and has decided to share the experience of having the procedure with the world. Reece said in a recent interview that people have been questioning her decision due to her image.

"Some people around me had many selfish opinions about this. Some of them being I would lose my sex appeal or why mess with what God gave me. Sex appeal?? HONEYS!" she says. "I don’t care about that at all. I’m not here to sell sex, i’m here to be healthy. Funny because many of my old representatives were so against it because their were too concerned about selling SEX for the short term dollar. They literally let me know that in this business SEX sells and nothing else. WTF? Really? This business is so cold and it’s funny how many women think that they need enhancements to get noticed in the entertainment business. You should NEVER alter your body to be in this business. Don’t let these sharks pray on you because THEY WILL. And they will misguide you! You don’t need to fall into the pressure of society. It is deadly and can lead to a vicious cycle of low self esteem because of trying to “fit in” with all the glam you see in the media. Don’t do it! Don’t fall into the hype. You are beautiful at any size and shape. And anyone that says other wise or wants to not be a part of your life because of it. Tell them to kick rocks.

Somaya Reece Idolizes Pitbull?

Somaya Reece shared her love and respect for Latin rap superstar Pitbull. In a recent interview with SOHH, Reece explained that Pit's success has been an inspiration to her and she pushes for the same type of far-reaching appeal the Miami rapper has achieved.

"Pitbull is like the epitome of where I'm going with my music," Reece says. "It's funny because people call me the female Pitbull and I've never made a record that sounds like him. [The music he's making now] is where the money's at. [laughs] The second thing is he wants to be international. Who wants to be in a box forever? Pitbull's transformation came from him being just a rapper, straight rapping. But when he was just rapping, nobody really supported him. Then he decided to gain his own rapport and build his own fan base. Then he came out with Ying Yang Twins, then he came out working with Lil Jon and then he started moving. Latinas have always supported him because Latin music is just so big. Then he started experimenting with the dance movement and it went well."

Somaya Reece On "Classy Girl:"

Somaya Reece knows that some fans scoffed at her single"Classy Girl," and its fashionable video. The sexy reality star and rapper addressed the clip, song and why she relishes defying the public's perception of who she is.

"I wanted to show people the chameleon I am," she told SOHH. "For the people that know me from my TV and movie roles, I wanted them to see how much I've grown as far as musically, artistically. I wanted people to see the way I put my music together and I also wanted to show people what a chameleon was."

"People are so used to seeing me be over-the-top that in the video, I really toned it down," she added. "It was just enough. I had a close-up scene with the curly hair and very minimal makeup. You can really see my eye lashes on there."

"I don't think people are used to seeing me like this because they're used to 'Love & Hip Hop' and how I look on there," says Reece. "It's a little over-the-top, which I like, I like those things, but I wanted to make this more of a very visual, fashion piece."

Somaya Reece Focused On Branding?

Somaya Reece says she wants to expand her persona beyond "Love & Hip Hop." The voluptuous model/femcee claims that she wants to brand herself along the same lines as pop superstars like Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. She's focused on balancing her acting and musical careers.

"I've always been acting. What people don't know is I started out in commercials," Reece told SOHH. "I started out doing commercials and then I moved onto doing films. I'm just like a lot of people who started out at the bottom. I was doing a lot of extra parts [in films/television] and then I moved onto one-lines, two-lines and now being offered roles. I feel so blessed. I'm never going to stop acting. I've been training and acting for ten years with Aaron Speiser [acting school] and I took courses over at UCLA. I'm never going to stop. I want to be a full brand like Beyonce or J. Lo. They're actresses and they have music and they have branding of merchandise, clothing and things of that nature. So you can definitely expect that from me and I'm going to work harder to push a positive image because that's really what I'm about. That's what I'm about, giving back. This is my thing, I love to do it, I love to act."

Somaya Reece Returning To Reality?

Somaya Reece is planning to return to reality TV. Namely the outspoken model/femcee says she will be back on the new season of VH1's hit reality show "Love & Hip Hop." She recently opened up about the new season and her approach to reality TV.

"It's funny because so many people have asked me, 'How does it feel to not be the villain?' [Laughs] I will say no matter who decides to come to our show, be yourself," Reece said in an interview. "Don't try to be a wh*re or act like you're going to bust a cap in somebody. Don't turn into somebody else because you're on television."

"If you're going to come on this show with a bunch of strong women, you better know to just be yourself," she added. "Especially for [Kimbella], if you're coming into a situation where you don't know anyone, be honest because neither of us on the show likes dishonesty. It's really important to remain honest and true to yourself."

Esther Baxter On Joe Budden

Joe Budden seems to be racking up better ex-girlfriends. Following another of Budden's former lovers, model Tahiry, appearing on the cover of KING magazine, Budden's most recent ex, the voluptuous Esther Baxter, is now on the cover of the men's magazine. And she wasn't afraid to discuss Budden.

She didn't hesitate to take a few subtle shots at the rapper, either.

“With me, I had no idea who he was, what he did, or any of his music,” Esther told KING. "I thought Swizz Beatz did that song ['Pump It Up'.]"

"I didn’t know anything about his past," she added. "And I judged him by who he was and who he presented himself to me."

Joe Budden's ex's stay throwing salt on dude--Somaya Reece said she didn't know who he was, either. Suuuuuure, girls.

Somaya Reece On Latina Rappers

Rapper/model Somaya Reece recently shared her perspective regarding the very small amount of Hispanic female rappers around the industry. There have been virtually no Latina rappers to make much national noise--outside of Angie Martinez, who's arguably more known as a radio personality than as an emcee. But Reece says that she is in a prime position to change things.

"I don't know why, that's so crazy, I've been asked that in all my interviews," Reece told SOHH. "I guess it's me. That's why I'm here...We actually do have one, she's in the Latin world. You may have to Google her. Her name is Ivy Queen and she's like the queen of Latin rap. She's like our goddess of Latin rap and reggaeton. She's like a really ill spitter and it's crazy. She's an older woman now but she's somebody that's really big for us. I just know that I'm definitely putting it down for the Latinas and I'm doing a very unique style of music. I'm grateful that we had someone come out with a heavy Latin influence and then we had Big Pun, Fat Joe, Joell Ortiz. I'm happy that there's more of us out there but as far as [the lack of] females, I don't know why but I know that I'm here now."

Olivia & Somaya: No Love

"Love & Hip Hop" stars Olivia and Somaya Reece just can't get along. Olivia says Reece is just trying to keep up drama. Somaya says Olivia is scared to go toe-to-toe with her. Nothing like a C-list catfight to get the blood flowing.

"She's one of those people who does things for shock value and when she realizes what she's done, she tries to take it back and act like nothing happened, and she wants to be your friend and apologizing," Olivia explained. "And I don't do that; if I don't rock with you, I don't rock with you, period. I don't do nothing for the camera...so if she's going to act like that and try to take it back afterwards, you look crazy."

"I talked gangsta to her face, and she ran into a security van; you can definitely post that. And that's what that came down to," Somaya says. "You're going to see it on the episode. I wasn't lying about it, it's the truth; it's what happened. Ask ['Love & Hip-Hop' co-stars] Emily, ask Chrissy, ask anybody. They tried to get her out of the van, and she refused to come out."

Olivia Isn't Feeling Somaya Reece

The new trailer for former G-Unit rapper Olivia's upcoming "Love & Hip Hop" VH1 series indicated tension between her and rapper Somaya Reece, but Olivia dismissed Reece in a recent interview and said the two stay away from each other.

"There was never a relationship with her," Olivia told SOHH. "Chrissy [Lampkin], Emily [Bustamante] and I were the ones shooting the show together and they brought her in as the last girl for what you saw on TV. That [promo] clip you see her was actually for the show, so it came out early and people thought it was a crazy beef and I actually do not mess with that girl at all. So that's what that is. No. I'm definitely not her friend. Just because you see us on the show [doesn't mean anything]. I'm not fronting for the cameras at all. So you'll be able to tell who I like and who I don't like."
