To fans who have been around since day one, Mia X (née Mia Young) will always be the “Biggest Mama Mia” and “Unlady-Like Diva” of No Limit Records. The first female emcee to sign with the New Orleans-based label under the helm of Master P in the early 1990s, she’s still reminding us how special her pen and stage presence is three decades later.

“The love from my fans is so familiar,” Mia X tells EBONY. “They haven’t left me since 1992 so I can always depend on them, we’re like family. I always tell them they are the reason I was able to put my children through school. But I’m very grateful and appreciative of the younger generation for getting on to my music and learning about me. They’re showing me love and not treating me like a middle-aged lady.”
