Karrine on Jay Z: We Only Had One Encounter Beyond a Friendship

Karrine has "learned a lot" from her past experiences over the years. From Jay Z to Mr. Marcus, the vixenturnedauthor continues to tell all in her VladTV interview as she describes her relationship with the "Big Pimpin'" rapper and her adult film that showed the world why they gave Karrine her popular nickname.

"He always looked out for me," recalls Karrine on Jay Z. When it came to money and notoriety in her beginning days as a video vixen, Steffans says Hova was always there to help her out. When their relationship became sexual, she says that's when things became awkward. "We only had one encounter that was beyond a friendship," she insists. "I realize now that sometimes attention you feel isn't necessarily sexual, and that's not how you explore that tension. But at the time, that being also part of my language, I didn't know how to express that tension [and] how to explore someone in another way."

When asked by Vlad about her escorting days, Karrine is hazy in her recollection, since she feels "everything is escorting," but remembers that she always kept the "stripper mentality: 'f*** you, pay me,'" in mind. "I just always made sure that every time a man was in my face he paid me -- regardless of what happened," she says.
