After reading Kia Shine’s statement which was released a few days ago, it seems that all the rapper wanted was to be spoken to first before Wendy Day came up with her own analysis.

“A friend of mine sent me a visual of the comments that was made at the New Daisy [MemphisRap.com’s Showcase & Industry Networking Event] on Thursday and at The “How To Get A Record Deal” conference [S.E.A.’s] on Friday in Tunica, MS. Wendy Day made statements about me having poor first week sales and went on to say that this is why I was dropped from Universal/Motown and that I was making Memphis artists look bad because of this, and that I wasn’t making any money for myself or my label. She also went on to say that my CD had no substance as well. Why she choose to speak on my business without consulting with me first to make sure what she was saying was indeed TRUE is beyond me.” - Kia Shine
