Changing what you wrote in the past about a subject to land an interview is not a good look.

It's ok to change something at Karrine's request if you agree you made a mistake in facts or taste, but not in exchange for access.

And I know you wanted to be transparent by announcing it, but that makes her look petty and you look weak.

I love this blog, by the way. I've sent in tips, and I've commented many times before.

Nah, not at all. We changed it in fact because the term we used 'Superhead' was in fact demeaning and we were wrong for doing it and shouldn't have used it in the first place. We did not change it to "land and interview" at all. I strongly doubt admitting this makes us look weak, it makes us look professional. Thanks for reading Hashim, we love having readers like you :D

Just to piggy back a little: We did not change the post we removed her moniker, that's it! The premise of the post remains the same. We did not/will not change a post so that it is more or less favorable for anyone. We stand firmly behind our content and that of our writers, and I apologize for not being more clear in our retraction statement. Thanks for the comment.

Angela,
I know you wrote, "We did not change it to 'land an interview' at all."

But Markus wrote:

"Karrine agreed to interview with us after we removed the use of her moniker"

Maybe Markus should clarify.

But that's all I'll write about that. I don't want to hijack the comments. I'd rather read what people think about the interview.

Very good interview. I stand by the post I wrote on Karrine: she's ahead of the game on the web, no matter what you may think about her, and this interview reinforces that. In general, people don't give her the credit she deserves. I am glad you guys did this interview, and glad she accepted. This is definitely the Karrine I respect.

@Hashim :)

@Liz I agree, your initial post was great and this is definitely a side of Karrine people should know about.

I cant be mad at her hustle!

At the risk of sounding like a "fan", I have to say that Karrine and her books have been the hot topic of discussion on more than one occasion in my girly-circle. There are things that many of the girls don't agree with, and that's their perogative. My whole point then, and now, is that no matter WHAT she's done, (ahem) her ventures appear to be springboards for something else better. And why not? We do it in our lives everyday. I saw her Twitter post when she requested that the moniker be removed, and that's all it was. She didn't hold the interview hostage, she wants to move on from being remembered as "THAT".....She doesn't get the credit she deserves and at the end of the day, I don't give a good got-dern what the chile does behind closed doors; she hustles and makes her child her priority. PURR-REE-YUD.

I respect Karrine's use of the web, social media, etc.

however, nobody would know or care who she was if it wasn't for the "demeaning" Superhead moniker, and the story behind how she ended up with it.

let's be serious.

This was a great feature. I agree with Eskay. She has to be ok with hearing people say "superhead" because no matter how bigs she gets she is still going to be known by that "moniker" word. She seems very knowledgeable about new media which is awesome.
