DJ Khaled’s Protégé Talks French Montana, Fashion & Tattoos

[With her music career continuing to blossom, DJ Khaled protégé Just Ivy dishes on French Montana, fashion and tattoos to SOHH readers.]

Me and French [Montana] were able to work in the studio together. We recorded a song together in Los Angeles and we were sitting down and French came along. We ended up going to New York and we met in the studio. He listened to the record and he liked it. French did his verse and we’re friends. We’ve got a good relationship and looking forward to working again.

Our record was done before the Kardashian gossip and his record with J. Lo came out. Right now, we’re just trying to figure out what next to come out with.

My fashion influence depends on the mood. I only like to go with fashions that are right for me. I don’t think there’s anything I feel you “must” have or not have. It just comes from knowing what fits you and what doesn’t.

Since I’m from Europe, I do embrace a lot of Italian and French brands. I think they do influence what I wear because when you spend a lot of time in Europe and then come back here to the United States, people have different looks. I’m in-between the two.

I don’t want to look like anybody else. I’m trying to find my own look and my own style. I don’t think I’ve found it yet but I’m still searching. I’m working and it’s still coming.

I don’t have any tattoos. I like the way they look on other people but I don’t think it’s my thing. I think tattoos come as special moments in your life when you feel like doing something. I think if I start putting everything I’m feeling on my skin I’m going to be covered all over. I think it’s good that everybody else has them because I don’t want to be like everybody else. It’s not my thing but I like how it looks on other people.
