Kofi Asare is the talk of the town after his quick sip of rocker Courtney Love's breast last week has garnered him fifteen minutes of fame. After appearing in The New York Post and on the Howard Stern Show, Asare, now known as Love's "milkman," wants everyone to know that he's a rapper too. Asare talked to SOHH.com about the tit-tillating incident and "milking" the moment.
Last week, on his way to buy chicken nuggets at Union Square's Wendy's, Asare's banal stop quickly turned into a lifetime opportunity.
"It happened on St. Paddy's day on my way to work. I went into [Wendy's] and noticed there was a lot of paparazzi there. And Courtney Love was there just being herself, which is an unadulterated rock star and I was like... that's Courtney Love... that's Kurt Cobain's dame. She was just signing autographs, taking pictures and flashing people," Asare told SOHH.com via phone.
"At that time I heard her entourage say they were coming to exit. I opened the door for her. I was trying to talk to her and maybe get a card because I just graduated in May. She was flashing everybody her breasts and we took a picture and I asked her, 'Courtney, one last flash.' She obliged and I just went for it. It was less than a second. By the time I turned my face the photographer flashed the shot. And there you have it. It was a classic New York City rock star moment."
While the money shot has already had its "perks", Asare was infuriated upon reading reports that mistakenly referred to him as a homeless man.
"'Courtney Love exposes herself to a homeless man, exposed herself to an infection'," Asare cynically says in regards to a New York Post article. "In the picture, I don't think I look homeless. I don't see the correlation to what makes me homeless, maybe because of my race? Andrea Paser (of the Post) as far as I'm concerned shouldn't be able to write checks. If you're a journalist you're supposed to seek the facts and she just published lies about me."
Nonetheless, the incident has shed light on the Manhattan born aspiring rapper, actor and model. Asare is presently three cuts deep into a mixtape he is now intensively working on and hopes to finish by this weekend. Thus far, the disc is to be titled either "Milk Money" of "All I Wanted Was Some Chicken Nuggets." And while he concedes that he's trying to take advantage of the spotlight, he does assure that rhyming isn't an overnight hobby.
"I was rhyming before all this. I read and write a lot. I try to write everyday. I participated in battles in school, been to the Lyricist Lounge," revealed Asare, who graduated from SUNY New Paltz University with a degree in Public Relations. Now I'm trying to put out a mixtape soon. I'm trying to milk the moment, excuse the pun. I'm not trying to let it go to my head, but I'm that guy. Everybody's like, 'who is that guy.'"
But don't expect the entire CD to focus on the boob bobbing incident. Asare plans to use the platform to take listeners into his daily experience.
"I got a chance to show my talent and be in the public eye. There's going to be references but it's going to speak about other stuff outside of the incident," Asare explained. "I wanna take people into a day in the life of.... And if the [incident] is one day in my life you can imagine what the other days are like. So I'm going to put it out and really try to have something the people want to hear more. I think I'm just going to be the next big thing."
Asare is giving Courtney his 'love' a shoutout for helping him put his Public Relations degree to work.
"It's funny because I went to school for public relations and everything that is happening is right up my alley," Asare exaplained. "I know that she has an album out. I don't know if it's going to help her sales, but it's sort of a product placement. Now I want to put something out and create a buzz. I've created enough of a buzz for her. It's like a favor for a favor. I guess that's the best thing about sucking a breast. Both people get something out of it. It's a good exchange."
