Drake: “Rihanna Used Me”


Remember when the entire blogosphere was buzzing about newcomer Drake dating Rihanna? Both Rihanna and Drake denied rumors of a relationship, which we never believed anyway. Well, in a recent interview with The New York Times, Drake is crying about being used by Rihanna. But wasn’t he using her too?

He even wrote a song about their brief association, but he never released it. Here are the lyrics to “Fireworks”:

I could tell it wasn’t love, I just thought you’d fuck with me
Who could’ve predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me, damn
I kept my wits about me luckily, what happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me
Now all of a sudden these gossip rags wanna cover me
and you makin’ it seem like it happened that way because of me
But I was curious, and I’ll never forget it baby, what an experience
You could’ve been the one, but it wasn’t that serious.

What kind of b*tch is Drake? He’s on some other sh*t. His whole concept is lame and corny. Maybe he tried to take it there with Rihanna and she hurt his feelings by reminding him that she doesn’t date gay rappers.

“You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear,” he said. “I was like, wow, this feels terrible.”

But it’s also the new normal, and Drake wonders if real intimacy is now out of reach, maybe irretrievably so. “Did I sacrifice something?” he asked, looking for the black cloud above the silver lining. “Have I not realized what it is yet because I’m enjoying this too much?”

Celeb Style: Usher in Comme des Garcons Cardigan & Marc Jacobs Sneakers

From Upscale Hype:

R&B singer Usher, who is overseas promoting his album, was seen being mobbed by fans in a Comme des Garcons Homme Plus cardigan ($960) in olive green, and Marc Jacobs M2588 sneakers ($570) in navy. The wool cardigan features plaid panels and multi-colored knit patched pockets. And the Marc Jacobs sneakers showcase zipper detailing running along the sides and around the top. What really sets these sneakers apart is the fact that they can be worn with or without the top portion, or with the tongue flap hanging down.




 

FanMAIL: Celeb Style – Kelly Rowland


Loyal reader Melcy wrtes:

Please keep the juicy gossip coming! You are the only blogger that tells it like it is.

P.S.: The fabulous shoes that Kelly is seen wearing on this post, (and that many commenters were asking about) are the Corroded Brass pumps that Nicholas Kirkwood did for the Rodarte sisters’ Spring/Summer 2010 collection. They are impossible to get this late in the season.




 

Is There Trouble in Paradise for Deiondra Sanders and Nia Riley?


Our favorite bisexual couple, Nia Riley (Teddy’s daughter) and Deiondra Sanders (Deion Sanders daughter), attended Jermaine Durpi’s Hip Hop Honoree party at the Gold Room on Monday night (June 7). You might recall that I introduced you to them on my blog two weeks ago.

After I posted their pics, they both took to their Twitter pages vehemently denying their intimate relationship. But since then I’ve learned that Deiondra and Nia live together in Deiondra’s home. It seems Nia (Teddy’s daughter) was broke and homeless, and Deiondra — the kind soul that she is — took her friend in. She has even tossed Nia the keys to the brand new Mercedes coupe that her daddy recently bought her, as well as a little cash money to spend on trinkets.


But there might be trouble in paradise. Word is that Deiondra gave Nia her eviction papers. Is it because she found out that Nia has allegedly been sneaking over to Atlanta Hawks star Al Horford’s home to get her back twisted out? Stay tuned….




 

T.I Dines Out, Then Leaves Behind His “Permission To Travel” Papers


Rapper T.I. was almost grounded recently in NYC. According to NY Post’s Page Six, T.I. dined with rapper Gucci Mane and actress/model Selita Ebanks at Abe & Arthur’s on West 14th. As the dinner party got up to leave, T.I. also left his “permission to travel” papers on the table.

According to Page Six, “the document verifies that the rap star can leave the United States for a specified period. T.I. is on supervised release after doing prison time for weapons possession.”

Luckily, a restaurant employee caught up with T.I.’s security and returned the papers to T.I. before he and his entourage headed downstairs to club SL. A T.I. spokesman told Page Six, “He did not leave behind any documents.”
