You know, I can respect anyone that’s capable of expressing what they really feel, but sometimes situations like these just become too excessive.

Rapper Drake recently sat down with Elle magazine and answered some really candid questions. Of the topics discussed, he talked about being hurt by Rihanna, his twitter marriage with Nicki Minaj, and being lonely.

Peep the excerpts below!

On being hurt by Rihanna
At the time it hurt, but she didn’t mean to. I’ll never put that on her. I was hurt because I slowly started to realize what it was. I guess I thought it was more. That was the first girl with any fame that paid me any mind. You spend days reading about this person in magazines. All of a sudden you have this number-one song and you’re at some birthday party and there she is. And you’re just some naive kid from Toronto staying in some shitty-ass hotel who got invited to this party on a whim. That’s just how it happened.

On being lonely
When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty. The 15 or 20 seconds after a man reaches his climax is the realest moment he’ll ever have in his life. And if you happen to be with somebody that isn’t someone you want to converse with, you start feeling like, I wish I was just here watching True Blood by myself.

On his fake Twitter marriage to Nicki Minaj
I don’t know if we were really pretending. I’d marry Nicki. I think Nicki would be one of the only people that would understand me at the end of all of this and be able to love me.”

On bringing girls home to mom
The most intense thing I’ve ever done was bring a girl to Passover dinner. [My mom] just wants me to be happy, but I’m sure she’d love it if I married a Jewish girl.

On receiving naked pictures
If you send them without me asking, it’s like, You’ve done this before. But I’m away a lot. If there’s a woman I’m into, I might want to get a picture from her to handle business myself, as opposed to doing something I might regret.

On if he’s ever had a threesome
I’ve never had one. I swear. I’m a one-woman kind of guy.

 

I really wonder if he just said these things to bring hype for his album. Hmmm….

Are Rihanna and Matt Kemp Back Together?

So what’s really going on over here?

Singer Rihanna became a target for the paparazzi  in London after coming out of a gentleman’s night club last night. The fun didn’t stop there however. Ex-boyfriend Matt Kemp was there in the passenger side of the car RiRi that got picked up in. If you recall, the couple broke up last December due to not being able to handle the complications of a long distance relationship.

I doubt there back together given her more hectic schedule. Men and women are capable of being platonic friends. It’s still nice to dream though.

Rapper Game Proposes To Longtime Girlfriend

Who says chivalry is dead in hip hop?

Former G-Unit member, the Game proposed Wednesday afternoon to longtime girlfriend Tiffany Cambridge. The rapper set up an elaborate marriage proposal at Franklin D. Parent Elementary School, where Cambridge reportedly works as a teacher.  He even went as far as involving the school principal to set up an “after school meeting”, where family, faculty, media, and a bishop were all present.  He then got down on one knee and asked her hand in marriage. Of course she said yes. That’ money!

  On why he decided to propose:

As a man, this is that day where you throw your player card away and you kinda gotta step up and be a family man, and she deserves it.It’s been a long run, and we’ve been together at least seven years. We’ve been off, we’ve been on, we’ve been arguing, we fought. We had good times and bad times, and I think that at the end of the day, as a man, this is something that I owed to her and I owed to my family, so it was time.

On the initial plan:

The planning was all quick, last minute. I woke up today with a different headspace, and I just started planning this at 10 a.m., and we pulled it off by 2 [p.m.]. Four hours to pull all these media outlets, get the school in line, the principal, the bishop from the church to come down. The sun came out, obviously [I'm] sweating here, crazy.

Congrats to the couple!

With the year of “B” still underway(and not stopping), singer Beyonce Knowles is continuing to make waves through the media with grace and class. Beyonce recently sat down with Harper’s Bazaar magazine for their double cover issue discussing everything from her expected pregnancy to her marriage with rapper Jay-Z.

Check out what she had to say below!

The pregnancy reveal on The VMAs:

I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself. I was extremely nervous. It was the toughest red carpet I ever did. I didn’t want a crazy picture or gossip story to break the news,” she continues, “so I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything.

How protective she is over Solange:

If you want to see the Third Ward Texas come out in me, disrespect my sister, and I will go completely crazy on you.

Marriage with Jay-Z:

We have been together since I was 20 years old. We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married. I admire his ability to inspire others. To me, Jay represents the American dream. Jay’s music has helped define our generation. All that he has overcome and worked to achieve gives millions hope that they can become whatever they want to be. I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist. We focused three years on our marriage and found that it brought us an even stronger bond and connection. But like anything great and successful in your life, marriage takes hard work and sacrifice. It has to be something both you and your husband deeply want. The best thing about marriage is the amount of growth you have because you can no longer hide from your fears and insecurities. There’s someone right there calling you out on your flaws and building you up when you need the support. If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you.

Knowing who she is:

I am finally at the stage in my life where I am not so concerned with other people’s opinions about my life decisions. It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else’s job to take care of me but me.

 

I like her response about how she’s so protective about her sister. You can tell they have a real strong bond and healthy relationship.

Rihanna’s natural beauty definitely personifies a unique sexual appeal that not all female celebrities possess. That’s why Esquire Magazine recently named her Sexiest Woman Alive in their November issue. In the upcoming issue, the singer opens up about her sexuality and discusses the topic we all wish would die already, her incident with singer and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Here are some excerpts:

 On her sexuality:

At the end of a concert, I don’t feel like I’ve been this sexy thing,” Rihanna told the magazine about how she feels after her seemingly sexy stage show. “Really, I don’t even think about it.”

How she feels about Chris Brown:

It was too much anger. I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career,” she explained. “It’s incredible to see how he pulled out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know? I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have.”

It’s no secret that Monica and Shannon Brown are the latest new “it couple”  to represent Black love these days. The singer recently sat down with essence.com, while on the set of her new music video “Until It’s Gone”,  to discuss balancing being a mom, wife, and artist all at once.

Here are a few excerpts from the interview:

On how she manages manages making time for her marriage and family:

We’re together a lot because I think you make time for the things that are important and our marriage is important to us. So we make time, all the time. At a video shoot Shannon and I go in my dressing room and order the food we want and just spend time talking to each other and getting to know each other even more. Every day is a new day, so it never stops. You never stop learning each other. Sometimes the best moments are just the quiet ones.

My husband is my part of my greatest joys, so it doesn’t feel like work or like I’m balancing anything. My husband and my kids absolutely come first, so work is just something where I figure out where it will fit. I just think there’s no comparison of the two so it makes it a lot easier. The boys are at the age now where they can travel with us and they love doing it. Of course, they’re never hesitant to go to a game or two. Shannon’s work is way more exciting than mom’s. We find ways to make it all happen, but family is first.

I cook for him. He can cook, but I don’t think he should have to. I’m a traditional wife in every since. I like the fact that he cleans his plate. That’s a southern thing. I’m from Georgia. When we grew up, our uncles finished off your plate and theirs, you know. I love the fact that he likes to talk to me while I cook. It’s not like I have these lonely hours where I’m in the kitchen. We talk while I’m cooking and he’ll ask for things a particular way.

On how she combats the attention she gets from blogs, both good and bad:

Well, you know the way that I am now I have nothing to say, no response. The truth needs no support. I love my husband and he loves me and I think if you sit back and you watch and you pay attention you’ll see it yourself. I think that in the blogosphere the idea is to have the most controversial stuff up.They’re not saying anything about us that they’re not saying about other couples. There aren’t just stories about us up there. There are stories about lots of couples. I thank God for the fact that they’re not true and I have peace of mind.

 

Black love is so beautiful!
