Teyana Taylor tackled the tough questions during her visit to Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club.” The 21-year-old singer-actress, who was recently released from her contract with Star Trak/Interscope, addressed rumors of signing with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, her friendship with Chris Brown, dating life, and upcoming roles in Gang of Roses 2 and The Love Section. Teyana’s free EP The Misunderstanding of Teyana Taylor drops on February 29.

“Now there’s no excuse. It’s grind time. It’s time to put out that music and get focused,” said Teyana. Read highlights and watch the full interview below.

On being a free agent: “I’m in a LeBron kinda situation. I’m trying to see where I want to take my talent. By the way, I was not dropped. I got an official release.”

On starring in Gang of Roses 2 alongside Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose: “When I heard that it was a Western, I didn’t care about who was in it, I didn’t care about who was directing, I cared that I just did a film where I was a baby mother [Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family]. I got the opportunity to be a cowgirl.”

On her relationship with Chris Brown: “Sometimes it’s easy when you’re totally not interested in your brother. Sometimes as a sister, I fall back and give him his space because that is my like best friend. As a sister and as a woman, I give him his space because I know that’s the space I would want.”

On her breakup with Milwaukee Bucks player Brandon Jennings: “We’re both hard workers, but we’re both not where we wanna be yet. I need him to focus to get there and I need to focus to get where I wanna be. You never know what the future holds. We’re super cool and I actually respect him for that. We can finish what we started another time, but right now, [the focus is] my EP and the NBA.”

On her sexuality: “When I first came out with the sneakers and stuff, mind you I’m only 15 years old, so the fact that I was actually dressing my age, I was gay to the world. But now everybody’s wearing sneakers and it’s sexy. The tomboy thing is in now. It’s actually better for me, so they can stay out of my business when I am dating.”

Teyana Taylor is spreading her wings and forging ahead with her career. The Harlem-born singer has officially been released from her contract with Star Trak/Intercope Records and is already working on a free EP.

“I officially got my release from Star Trak/Interscope. I’ve been signed with them for six years,” Teyana announced to DJ Skee.

During her time on Pharrell’s label, the “Super Sweet 16” star was plagued by label politics, preventing her from releasing music or videos. “I was signed for six years and there’s a lot of stuff that comes with the industry,” she said.

The 21-year-old, who appeared on Kanye West’s album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and toured with Game, addressed critics who questioned what she was famous for. “They see the glory, but don’t know the story. When there’s not music being put out or you’re not moving, they automatically blame it on you, like, you’re not doing anything. What do you do, not knowing the politics of the music industry.”

However, the relationship with her former label ended on good terms. “Everybody bowed out gracefully. There was no beef. I love Interscope, I love Star Trak. It’s always love for Pharrell; that’s my big brother. Now it’s time for me to go from a caterpillar to a butterfly. I had to fly away from the nest and venture out on my own.”

Teyana is currently a free agent and is speaking with other labels. But first, she’s giving her patient fans the music they’ve been waiting on for years. “Now that I’m independent right now, I get to make music and finally create an EP and give the supporters and the fans free music.”

The EP will drop on February 29 led by the single “Make Your Move” with Wale. A second single, “DUI” featuring Jadakiss, will arrive on February 14.

Teyana has also been in the studio with Meek Mill and directed a video for Bay Area rapper Erk Tha Jerk.

Watch their relationship blossom.

Teyana Taylor is riding with a new crew. The 20-year-old singer is currently trekking across Europe with Game and his Money Gang on The R.E.D. Album tour.

She later showed off her moves to Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls)” and showcased her own material.

During the Olympia concert, Game marveled at Teyana’s assets. “Just so ya’ll know, the titties is real… The ass is real, the hair is real,” he announced.
