After the homecoming performance, Milli and special guest Maiya The Don, a New York rapper, will soon embark on the “Thanks For Coming Here, Ho” tour. Milli confirms that the Homecoming Concert performance has set the tone for the upcoming tour. 

“I feel like this is jumping off,” Milli said. “Y’all started with great energy.”

At the moment, Milli has an album coming out soon, titled “Fine Ho, Stay.” It is her sophomore album after “You Still Here, Ho?”

Although she doesn’t want to give out too much information about the album, Milli said that if you loved “You Still Here, Ho?”, you’ll love “Fine Ho, Stay” much more.

“I feel like y’all should definitely stay tuned for collabs,” Milli said. “Because most of the time, I don’t really collab with a lot of people, but this one has features and stuff.”

When performing in front of thousands of people, Milli says it’s fun and that she wouldn’t want to do anything else.

 “I’ve always been doing this my whole life, so it’s like second nature,” Milli said. 

Milli’s goals as a rapper are to keep thriving and getting more opportunities, winning awards, getting on Billboard one day, and getting into acting and modeling. 

Milli told The Tower that she grew up listening to Lil Wayne and many other different types of music, but the one who inspired her to rap was Nicki Minaj.

“I think when I was like ten years old, I saw her [Minaj] for the first time on “106 & Park,” and ever since then, I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s what I want to do,” Milli said. “But of course, Eve, she’s another influence, Missy Elliot, Beyonce, Rihanna, Shakira, almost all of the “it” icons.”

Milli also had a message for Kean students: to keep pushing and not give up on yourself.

“Know that y’all are strong to be pursuing what y’all are pursuing, and don’t let nobody talk you out of your dreams and goals because you can do anything you can set your mind to,” Milli said.
