Tahiry Does XXL
Posted by Media Outrage on April 9, 2009
Tahiry’s little shine is starting to come. She already did the final issue of KING and now has jumped up in XXL. You can hate all you want but that thing is Phat! Peep her interview and a nice video of her when you
XXL: How did your first appearance on Joe Budden TV happen? Did Joe just turn on the camera or did he prep you before hand?
Tahiry: No there was no prepping at all, not even now… it was just taping. Joey is very computer savvy. He loves his cameras and his computers. He happened to have bought the camera. He was at the studio all night and he just walked in and I had the covers on my head and when I look up he’s recording me and making fun so I just cursed him out. So it was pretty much just him being happy with his new toy.
XXL: Has there ever been something he filmed, something you felt was inappropriate to go online and told him, “Joe, you not putting this online?”
T: No we pretty much…lemme see, everything is just what it is. We do look back at what we film and laugh about it but we never had any time where we were like, “no this is not going up.”
XXL: At what point did you realize you were getting some kind of buzz?
T: After the “Come Up Stairs For A Minute” [webisode] and after we put it up and I think after a couple hours it had 6 to 8 thousand views. To me it was incredible. I’m not the computer savvy girl so I sat down and looked at Joey and said, “10,000 people watched, is that even possible?” The response was huge really quickly.
XXL: You got a buzz without being in a video, was being in videos something that ever crossed your mind before?
T: Yes, when I was younger.
XXL: Did you go through with it?
T: No I didn’t do a video, never. I’m really shy, I’m really timid.
XXL: We can’t tell.
T: You know why people can’t tell, because I’m at my home you know it’s my camera. I’m in control, it’s the dynamics between me and my boyfriend, it’s how we act on a regular basis, it’s nothing planned, so it’s what I know. That’s why I’m so comfortable. People approached me throughout the years. I thought about doing it, but the fact that I’m shy held me back so I’ve never done one. You know every girl thinks about that when they watch TV when they look at these girls and they play dress up and they look cute in the video, everybody’s like, “Oh, I want to do that one day,” but you know because I’m shy…
XXL: I think I remember an episode where you said people were starting to recognize you and they were coming up to you now. What are they usually saying when they come up to you?
T:Well I got a number of guys at bars where I work at, they did the star struck line. I had a guy hyperventilate and not understand, like he was just really at awe when I approached him about what he wanted to drink. He was like, “Oh my God, oh my God, does anybody know who you are? You’re famous, oh my God.” And you get the “Oh my God” for like half and hour and I was like, “Dude can I get you a Heineken? Hello, it’s okay, it’s me relax.” They walking around with their iPhones on one of the episodes and they point out and they call me over like “This is you, this is you.” I get a lot of that.
XXL: So you still work as a bartender?
T:I work in all my regular spots, yeah. I have a number of bartending jobs.
XXL: We won’t make them public ’cause next thing you know they’ll be a bunch of people there just trying to get a glimpse?
T: I’m getting that. I walked in on Friday at work and I had like 18 guys that I’ve never seen before just stand there and watch me, then after a half hour they ordered and then after they ordered they sat there and everybody’s just quiet and then when I start cracking jokes they’re like, “Oh my God, you really are that cool. I get that already.
XXL: How has it been doing interviews? I’m assuming it’s something new for you.
T: It’s so new that I’m nervous right now. Joey is pretty much a very resourceful guy. He really helps me out with these things because you know I’m like I said, shy. I don’t know… this is just all new, like now I’m looking at like, “3 O’clock, oh my God, interview.” It’s been cool, but I feel like I still have a lot to learn.
XXL: You said comments online used to bother you. What kind of negative comments are you getting?
T: I think I have a 50/50. Hold up, I’m lying. I think I have an 80/20, an 80 of like, “Girl do your thing,” you know, “F the haters” and then of course you have the haters that say, “Joey’s exploiting you, we don’t want to hear her speak” or “I’m tired of hearing her speak” or “Joey stop posting your girlfriend.” Those are like the comments but I no longer read them. If I do run into one or hear one or somebody calls me about it, it’s funny to me now. Like I said Joey, he guides me through this whole process. He has the thickest skin ever in life. You know you used to be everywhere, in the hood and people always have things to say, but it’s on a different level now. It bothered [me] for maybe 2.2 seconds, but then I look over at my partner who deals with this everyday and he’s able to get up and do what he has to do, then it motivates me to be like, “You know what, F them. I’m fine, we’re going to be fine. Don’t pay it no mind.” Obviously it’s funny to me. I don’t care anymore.
XXL: So you’re starting to be mentioned with another celebrity girlfriend, Amber Rose. We even did a Amber Rose vs. Tahiry blog. How do you like being compared or pit against her?
T: Well I’m actually flattered. I’m just a regular girl and to even be mentioned… I think Amber Rose is sexy and extremely beautiful, so I think it’s awesome. I’m flattered, I’m honored to have another girl, another woman who’s fucking amazing and people to actually put our names in the same sentence.
XXL: How did the King shoot happen?
T: They contacted Joey’s manager Crystal about having me actually doing a page, I think three pages and like I said I’m very shy and things started happening way too fast. So, it took me a while to soak it all in. In the beginning I was like, “you know what, nah I don’t know, I don’t know if I’m ready for this.” Joey again since he is my guide, he sat down and tried to explain to me what’s happening, and me being timid again I said, “No, I need some time.” Eventually I put the S on my chest and I said, “Let’s do it.” I got the cover which wasn’t expected either.
XXL: How was the experience with the shoot? I know you said you’re shy.
T: I was very nervous. To me, like I said you watch videos and you think it’s like playing dress up, every girl likes to get their hair and make up done and put on some outfits and pose for the camera. Every girl wants to feel sexy and do things like that but it’s hard work. It’s a lot of hard work, but it was great, I’ll do it again.
XXL: So where are you trying to take this King cover. It’s a pretty big platform, a big stepping stone.
T: Well I don’t know, there’s a foundation I wanna pursue acting because I can’t sing I’m gonna keep it real because you know how everyone goes to singer or rapping and I can’t do none of that so I’d probably pursue my passion in acting.
XXL: So that was something you were doing before?
T: Actually I didn’t really have the time because I’m the oldest of three and my family comes first. So I was out handling my business, taking care my family and so my passion and the things I wanna do, I put it all the way at the back. And now I’m at a point where I can go out there and do it because Joe Budden TVpushed me. So now I’m gonna take advantage of this time that I have.
XXL: Does your butt really have a bigger buzz than Joe?
T: No. My boyfriend is extremely talented I don’t know that my butt has a bigger buzz, but you know I don’t even know how to answer that question to be quite honest with you. To me it’s not about the buzz, my boyfriend is extremely talented, he’s fucking great and as far as my butt, that’s just a line when [Joe and Saigon] were beefin’. He just wanted to go and try and diss him. But I don’t even know how to answer that. I don’t think so. I think Joey and me are together, so if I have a buzz, we have a buzz.-Carl Chery
Mediaoutrage- Interesting… We know that azz is getting more attention than a member of the Taliban strolling through JFK Airport. Always great to see the thick curvaceous women get some attention, cause we all know Hollywood is anorexic.

maliamalia said
LOL @ above comments…

Marathon_Man said
I agree Malia, that cussin’ is such a turn-off, unless it’s being done while she’s riding on “Snake” mountain, like “Marathon_Mania you know you better F*ck the Sh*t outta this P*ssy, Right the F**k now you son of a b*tch! F*ck That P*sssssssy you son of a b*tch!”
Cut Up said
Yall talking bout “little shine” M.O. but when you have a backside that she does “little doesn’t even fit in the room. Which is exactly why she needs to get “Cut the Hell Up”
Dickwell Thrust said
I would love to use that backside to do my crunches on…She has a VERY talented career as the next NBA/NFL/MLB jump-off!

LMAO@ everyone however she is frontin about her ’shyness’ because she is sssooo loving the attention.
lowridaz said
I guess that is all she has of value to offer anyone or anything!! because its obvious she has no brains nor intelligence to offer, not adding in value, morals, and respect for what god has given her, its much to be said about a woman that is eager to show the world her goods, nakes, exposed, legs gapped open for the world to see, i consider it mere trash myself, and may i point out she is not that cute in the face, so that is all she has to show is ASS, before that shit gets deflated, dimpled, cottage cheesed up, hate to see that shit when it drop and get flappy, with age, LMAOOOOO
Random said
Another Video Wh*re in the making..lol@”I’m Shy”…what a way to overcome it..posing half naked for two different magazines..I love how they all want to ‘pursue acting’..with all of the other TALENTED Actresses in Hollywood..who the hell is gonna wanna hire her ass..unless it’s one of those low budget movies you might catch on BET..get real…just stick to your silly i-net videos and classless magazine spreads..that’s as far as you’ll go..maybe Grey Goose will want you to be their new “Lady Goose”…or some other BS..I don’t know..now I’m just rambling…
Ms. E said
LMAO@ lowridaz
You speaking the truth! But that is the society we live in, no one gives a rat’s a$$ if you can’t spell B-I-N-G-O as long as you got a big butt, small waist, and a face that can be plastered with some makeup then you are ready to get your fifteen minutes of fame and get paid a few bucks to expose your assets! Honestly, I have lack of respect for chics like this…what kind of example are you setting for your own kids, nieces and nephews! I was the first one in my family to go to college and grad school.
Random said
Hmm and what better way to come overcome your ’shyness’ than to pose half naked for not one but two different magazines..another video wh*re in the making…lol@pursuing an acting career…who would possibly cast your ass in any significant role..give it a rest…stick to your i-net tv..that’s about as far as your ‘acting career’ goes..
claudette4heisman said
I take back to Tahiry=Kim K comment. She is nothing like her. This chick is known for nothing but being Joe Budden’s girlfriend with the big ass. She has no talent. I mean at least the KK’s have their own business, a business they had BEFORE Kim’s sextape came out. This chick is a bartender? Really XXL? Really King? But hey maybe they’re getting a lil classier with it. It used to be former strippers,at least the bartenders keep their clothes on. This pisses me off, because she’s becoming famous for letting herself be exploited by her boyfriend. Nothing more.
She must be a very shallow and insecure individual, because she could of easily turned this around and did something productive with it? But no, she took the slutty route and posed for a men’s magazine. I understand if she had something going for her and then posed,but no she’s nothing. She will never be anything. She’s going to be yesterday’s news in a couple of week just like Amber Rose, so I hope she enjoys it……and no I’m not hating, I’m just saying…..
Marathon_Man said
Claudette you know what, I don’t really think those men’s magazines really care about talent or career path. Having the two only makes the eye-candy that much more interesting. They know men and women buy their mags to drool over. If the right person in Hollywood decided to throw her in a film then her acting thing would get jump started. Just saying…
Ms. E said
MM – the only movie she will be in is a porno flick
Marathon_Man said
As long as I’m the n*gga she ridin’, that’s an excellent career move.
Ms. E said
I knew you’d say that
Joe probably let you do it too…you know his a$$ needs money to pay for his cell phone bill!
Media Outrage said
Lmao @ Ms. E
Marathon_Man said
Well that joint would just get cut off, cause I ain’t paying for the smushy.
terrance said
You know what’s funny? If I left negative comments in the “Which One” category under Reggie Bush, Idris Alba, or any other dude I’m sure you ladies would think that I’m FLAMING! I can’t recall a dude on this site ever tearing up a another man that MO puts up. I’m positive we could’ve found plenty of things wrong with Lenny Kravitz. I know these are just your opinions, however it’s just a shame that women are often catty.
Random said
You know what’s even funnier to me..is the way some of you react to the comments posted here…acting as if we just insulted your mother/sister/girlfriend etc…Who gives a flying hoot if SOME of us don’t find them attractive? If you do..fine..nobody’s trying to change your mind..stop making a big deal out of nothing..These chics don’t give a rat’s ass about you..whether you find them attractive or not really makes no diffy…so please just stop the BS already damn!! Nobody has to AGREE with Anything or ANYONE on here.
