The Star Artiste of the Month, Queen Ifrica, got the chance to interact with some of her fans via Internet and phone chats on Tuesday.

Ifrica arrived promptly at 5 to The Gleaner Company's office to chat online whith the huge number of fans who had already logged on to internet.

Ifrica tried her best to answer as many questions as she could within the first hour, as fans had logged on from all over the world.

Many of the questions asked were about her single Daddy Don't Touch Me There, many wanting to know whether it was speaking about a personal experience. But the Queen assured them otherwise.

"No, sorry to say it's not my experience, but the experience of others. It is simply the reality of incest and child molestation."

At approximately 6:10 p.m. Ifrica headed downstairs where other fans could get a chance to speak with her on the phone.

Upon her arrival, the phones were already ringing off the hooks.

Ifrica was very polite and friendly to her fans as she answered the calls saying, "Hello Queenie."

One particular caller asked Ifrica if she was bleaching, but she informed the caller that her complexion was indeed natural.

When asked what she thought about the outcome of the online and phone chats Ifrica told The STAR: "Well I thought it was very good hearing what some of these people have to say and I enjoy it a lot."

She continued, "I also like the fact that we have a lot of young people that called and its quite funny to hear some of the things they asked."
