*Alysse and Shay, better known to some as “Two Black Girls and a Mic,” recently interviewed Alia Rose, the daughter of the late Teena Marie about her mother’s recent posthumously released album “Beautiful” and growing up as the daughter of a musical icon.
Miss Rose was pretty forthcoming and gave the two black girls with a mic some pretty interesting stuff to chew on. They got Teena Marie’s only child to discuss her childhood and her mother’s liberal attitude toward her that she feels led her down the wrong path.
“She let me do my thing. She let me do exactly what it is I wanted to do. I wanted to party,” Alia Rose confessed. “I wanted to hang out with all my friends and experiment with different things and … she allowed me to that.”
Alia also dispels the rumors that Rick James is her father and that her mom never said her real dad’s name.
Now that we have your attention, we assume you’re down for hearing the full discourse between the ladies. If so, please click the player below and listen. (BTW, Alia’s intro comes at about 7 minutes and 35 seconds into the show.)

What? Teena allowed her daughter her “freedom.” Alia was on heroin and what is she talking about in this interview? Too bad Miss Teena is gone, but sounds like when Teena was alive, Alia was out there. She needs get close to her father or get some some guidance from somewhere.
Sounds like another Bobbi Kristina who was also the caretaker of her mother and grew up in a dysfunctional home where anything goes. I hope that she doesn’t let the culprits of the industry misguide her knowing that she is very vulnerable.
She sounds so much like Teena. It actually makes me feel like she is still here listening to her talk. I actually feel better hearing her. I never knew Teena gave her daughter so much freedom. She is wise beyond her years. But I never knew she had a heroin addiction!!!
She seems very spacy like she seen and done a lot. I wish here well. I believe she can carry her moms legacy well.She was so brutally honest.. It was eery…
Alia wasn’t her mother’s caretaker, far from it. Teena did get hooked on painkillers after Rick died, but other than that she took good care of Alia her whole life. She did make a mistake in trying to give her to much freedom because Teena’s parents were so hard on her. Teena did an interview where she admitted as much, how racist both her parents were. They dogged her. She forgave them both even though her father had disowned her. Her mother softened as she got older and gave up her racist ways. Teena didn’t want to judge her daughter the way she was judged or be thrown away the way she was as a teen. She had a hard life but it made her love people and love them deeply and help people like a young Lenny Kravitz. It had her forgive a Rick James who ran around on her and stole concert earnings from her. She went on and helped raise his oldest son. She stuck with him after he was arrested and jailed. It helped her forgive Gordy and still have a relationship with him after he stole millions from her recording and publishing. So there was no Alia taking care of Teena. It was Teena taking care of anybody who needed her help, including her mother who lived with Teena until Teena died. In the end, Teena was tired and felt like she sang in her music. She was a woman of God and felt God was calling her home. If she could have had it any other way, she would have stayed with her baby, but it wasn’t meant to be.
Rick James didn’t lie. Cocaine is a hellva drug.
