Since her debut single with DJ Webstar, “Chicken Noodle Soup,” became a teen dance craze in the summer of 2006, Young B hasn’t been heard from much. Despite being heavily featured on Webstar’s album, Caught In The Web (2006), the project failed to move any units, and without another breakout hit, Universal Republic dropped Webstar and his label from their roster.
In the time that has passed, Lil Mama and Teyana Taylor have both come out in full force repping for Harlem and for the kids, while Young B has been written off as a gimmicky one hit wonder. In fact, Teyana Taylor now gets more attention for Chicken Noodle Soup than B does, because the word put out there is that Taylor actually created the dance, not B. Having said that, the two femcees are friends, but B has no love for Lil Mama. In an extensive interview with Sixshot.com, Young B says:
“… Teyanna, she’s cool. That’s my friend and she’s talented. She has a different style though. She’s more of a pop—she’s different but she’s cool. Lil’ Mama—really no comment. She’s more of a rapper like hardcore rapper. She’s not like me. I’m girly and I like bags and heels… I’m making my own identity for myself. I was labeled as a group with DJ Webstar. So first Lil’ Mama came out and then Teyanna and they were already by themselves. It was them and no group. So that’s what I have to make myself now—a solo artist.”
Currently, Young B is spreading the word on her new single, “Where My Girls At,” and prepping the release of a new DVD reality series, Lights, Cameras, Action!
