Dirty Dozen which appeared in a recent issue of Blues and Soul with Lady Sovereign...

Your name's Sovereign but would you kiss the ring?
Eugh, nah mate you're disgusting. What do you mean why? Ahhhh!

If you had to get random would somebody who would it be?
I wouldn't mind getting random with Andre from Outkast. I'd let him dress me up in some of his clothes then we'd make some beautiful music.

When did you last break the law?
Last night, smoking innit. But I've moved on from hash, I had a bit of skunk. I don't see smoking weed as breaking the law either really.

Once I was sick and my cat ate it, has anything like that happened to you?
This is disgusting yeah, can't believe I'm telling you this it's grim. I was in the bath once and I'd left a packet of sanitary towels on the floor. My dog came in and ran off with a load. By the time I got downstairs the dog was covered in them and had left a trail of torn up sanitary towels all over the lounge.

What Dirty Dozen question would you ask yourself?
Maybe the best rumours I've heard about me. There's some good ones at the moment, apparently I've got five kids and am checking Riko.

If I said I'd pay for plastic surgery what would you have done?
My little toe, I think it looks a bit funny. I don't want it removed, just corrected.

Who was the last person you kissed?
My mum, she's just had an operation and I went to visit her in hospital. She's doing a lot better now.

Where's the weirdest place you've slept?
When I was little, well about 10, I used to make a tent in the garden using two chairs and a sheet, one night I stayed in it all night. Then the next morning my brother cracked my head open. He threw a pile of mud at me but there was a stone in it, nearly knocked me out.

Do you have groupies?
I have some mad fans, some stalkerish ones. A lot of these ones want me to meet their mums which I think's well weird.

Favourite porno?
Whatever's on, at home I only have normal TV so it's whatever channel 5 come up with. I watched some funny ones on the D12 tour, Titch had one Booty Call, he had a whole pile. He said to me 'duh, stupid' cause I'd been spending £6 a night on them at the hotel.

What's your ultimate fantasy?
I don't know but it would probably involve marshmallows, chopsticks and nestle cream, if you've ever tried it you'll know what I'm talking about.

So, what underwear are you wearing?
Well I've got this bra on, it's one of those naughty ones from Anne Summers with no top half. It's black and baby blue. I've got shorts on, no knickers. And one sock.
