We're talking about reality TV star K.Michelle's surprise pop-in & ultimate "TREATING" (for those who don't know, being "treated" is a coined Chicago term, meaning 'dissing' or 'clowning,' or an attempt to put a person in one's place) of Ed Lover during his interview with one of hip-hop's favorite super producers, Drumma Boy. What was predicted to be a one-on-one chill convo with Drumma, completely went left when K.Michelle popped in to say hey to her fellow Memphis homie, BUT she peeped that Drum was being interview by no one other than the Ed Lover. She then took that opportunity to vent but both parties involved were able to find common ground and ultimately, become new friends. With that being said - check out what was supposed to be an interview with Drumma Boy, take a left, then come right back around and end with, well...Drumma. Enjoy.
