AP: What is proper twerk technique? Big Freedia: Definitely practice in the mirror before you attempt it. You have to use your body in the upright position, you can use your knees for support and that's the only way you can twerk. AP: How accepted do you feel in the rap community? Big Freedia: I feel very accepted, like I never have any slander. I never have any issues. You know, like, when people see me, they respect me. It's all about how you carry yourself. AP: Are you ever offended by homophobic lyrics? Big Freedia: Not at all. I know who I am, I stand firm on who I am. Those artists are going to vent out and say what they feel and as long as it's not, you know, directed to say one person, that's fine. It's lyrics. It's gonna be around for a long time. AP: When are you going to release new music? Big Freedia: I have an EP coming out ...I also have an album coming out ... And I'm about ready to go on my fall tour for five weeks, travelling all around the world and spreading the goodness of bounce music. ___ Online:
