R+B diva Blu Cantrell has no regrets about her time as a pornographic model - because the sex industry is so much more honest than the music business.

The American BREATHE singer is notorious for revealing all in a magazine called BLACK TAIL when she was just 18, but has never hidden her sordid past - and even suggests her work in porn is more honourable than her musical success, because it's more up-front.

She says, "I don't think the sex business and the music business have much in common. The sex business is straight up front - it's sex, sell it.

"The music business is a lot more brutal. It's conniving and deceitful.

"At least with the sex business they're gonna give you your money in your hand after you're done. The music business, you get screwed and you don't even get your money!"
