Christina Milian is a dead ringer for Cassie on the cover of the Winter issue of Rap Up magazine. Inside she reveals why she was dropped from Def Jam and how Nick Cannon was able to snag Mariah Carey.
On the reason why she was dropped [from her label]: “It was a budget cut, I believe. [Def Jam] probably got rid of projects like mine to spend the money on [Rihanna].”
On who inspired her to get back into music: “I bumped into Janet at a club. We talked for an hour and I was telling her I don’t know if I’m gonna do this, and she was like, ‘Girl, do not let them stop you. I’m a fan and you make good music.’ She’s a person I actually looked up to growing up, so her telling me that really was the day I was like, ‘I’m not gonna let these people
hold me down. It’s time.’”On learning about ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon’s marriage to Mariah Carey: “I was surprised like everyone else. I was like, ‘Really?’ It just seemed like a weird match, but I was happy for him. I always feel Nick works hard to get what he wants, whether that be women—that’s how he got me.” - Just Jared
I always wondered how Nick Cannon snagged his women outside of his deep pockets.
TI also graces the cover of the Winter 2008/2009 Issue. Inside he talks about how his kids are going to deal with his prison sentence and what it means to win awards.
On winning awards:
“No disrespect to Kanye, but that kinda stuff just don’t mean nothing to me. Whether or not I win an award, I mean that’s nice, but at the end of the day I understand that I’m a man. What being a man means to me is not defined by an award or an amount of records sold.”
On how his children are going to deal with his time in prison:
“My oldest is 12—she understands. She’s strong and smart. The three weeks I was in, before I got to come home, she said to me, ‘Don’t worry. I’ll hold things down ’til you get back.’ I’m more worried about how my boys are going to deal.”
Also, Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes To Jail starring Derek Luke and Keisha Knight-Pullium hits Theaters soon.
This movie looks like it will be good! A friend of mine always complains about Tyler’s movie, that they have the same plot and story lines but I don’t find that to be the case. I actually enjoy his movies…
