MTV: You're also known for your really intense stage show. Are you going to be touring soon?
Ginuwine: Yeah, we're going to the big cities, just [to] let everybody know 'I'm back, I'm coming, my album's out.' Then we're supposed to be doing a big tour sometime in July or August. I've been waiting to get back on the stage because that's where I love to be, that's where I'm happy. That's where I get all the energy I got balled up in me, or frustration or whatever. It'll come out on the stage and that's how I get relieved.
MTV: How involved are you in the choreography, because it seems very natural. It doesn't seem too routine-oriented.
Ginuwine: Whatever dances you see me doing alone is pretty much off the top of my head. The dancing that you see me doing with [my dancers], of course that's choreographed. But I think of Michael Jackson when I do my steps because he breaks off into his own thing. No one can ever do that like he does it and that's how I feel. I can't lie, I practice a little bit for what I'm doing, but a lot of the times, I practice in my head 'cause I already know my body can do it.
MTV: You did a movie called "Juwanna Mann." When is that supposed to be released?
Ginuwine:It was supposed to be released this October, but it got some real good reviews so it got pushed up to May. I didn't even think it was gonna come out that soon. I play Vivica Fox's boyfriend [whose] name is Romeo. It's a basketball comedy about a guy who don't know how to play team ball. He's in the NBA, he's got a big head and he's always overdoing it, so he gets kicked out the NBA, but he dresses as a woman and joins the WNBA and then he learns about team ball and all that stuff. It's so funny.
MTV: So you actually dressed up like a woman?
Ginuwine: No, that was [Miguel Nunez]. It wasn't me. I'm just the boyfriend of Vivica Fox.
MTV: I read a couple of years back about a fragrance line that you did. Are there other products coming out?
Ginuwine: Yeah, we was trying to do G-strings and the perfume thing, we're still trying to do it. I kind of backed up off of it because a lot of things had happened and because I didn't wanna put up all the money. I'm getting back into the swing of everything, so it probably will happen maybe [at] the end of this year.
MTV: Do you find that most of your fans are women as opposed to men?
Ginuwine: That's who I do it for. I don't do it for the guys. I'm here for the ladies, I wanna speak to the ladies.
MTV: Last summer there was somebody going around impersonating you.
Ginuwine: Still is.
MTV: Did they find this guy?
Ginuwine: No, he's still walking around impersonating me, making people mad, but they know it's not me so it's not really hurtin' me, it's just making me mad because I'm like, "Why do that?" You're not me. It makes no sense. But he's been going around getting money and stuff like that, so whenever he does get caught, he'll probably get put in jail 'cause he's got a couple of felony charges against him already.
MTV: I heard he was even booking concerts and things.
Ginuwine: Yeah, and he accepted a certain amount, so that's a felony after a certain amount. I will be right there in his face saying, "Yeah, go to jail." Because that's not right, you shouldn't do that.
MTV: Was it in any way flattering, though, to think that somebody would do that?
Ginuwine: Not at all. It wasn't flattering because it would've been different if it was somebody calling you, saying they admire you and you make me wanna do music, like I would with Michael Jackson. But don't try to bash my name or make me look bad, even though it's not me. It still leaves a nasty taste in people's mouths.
MTV: Also, the rumor mill keeps talking about connections between you and [singer] Solé , can you just set the record straight?
Ginuwine: I keep my private life private now. I think all artists should do that. I don't speak on that.
