‘ROUND THE WAY: LAUREN LONDON DISCUSSES MOTHERHOOD & MORE W/ QUDDUS

Lauren London sat down with TV One Access’ Quddus to discuss motherhood, Lil Wayne, the internet and the controversy surrounding her pregnancy. Her son (whose name still hasn’t been released to the public) is now 6 months old. Peep some snippets I typed up below:

On Motherhood:
It has definitely calmed me down, I had a bad temper in the past and I don’t as much anymore. My son definitely puts stuff into perspective. A lot of things that I thought were really important aren’t. I don’t look at the surface as much anymore. A lot of things I was doing before was really selfish and now it’s not about me, it’s about him. Being a mother (to me) comes very natural. I think God definitely blessed me.

On Lil Wayne:
He is a great dad, he is a great father. No complaints.

On twitter, the internet & blogs:
I don’t feel the pressure to tweet and share my business because I feel like my personal life is my peronal life. I do know in this day and age that I can be at a club and someone can take a picture and it’ll be out the next day that I’m dating so and so. They talked about me so bad during my pregnancy, at this point what else can they say?

On the negative comments concerning her pregnancy:
I’m not going to lie, it hurt. Because when a woman is pregnant (to me) is when she is her most beautiful and as pure as she can be and there was a lot of people that said something negative about what I was doing. And at some point it did hurt my feelings and I had to let it go, because it was not going to distract me from what God had me doing. Point blank period, I love my baby.
