“I do love her,” he admits of Solange, flashing a Cheshire. “We’re friends. She’s amazing. She’s a good person. Any single mother contributing to society the way she does – I got a lot of love for them. She’s got to do a lot on her own and raise a young black man in this day and age so my hat goes off to her. She’s definitely an anomaly. And the way she can do that and manage to do the same things that I complain about having to do.”
His affection is as obvious as a set of flushed cheeks. And impossibly adorable. Wale, the former mixtape rapper from inner city DC, is borderline giddy. “Did you interview Solange about me?” Wale asks. He’s sprawled across his bed; head practically buried in the pillow. “Did she smile when you mentioned my name?”

"I'm excited. I'm, like, waiting forever, like, 'When does the single come out?' " she jokingly told MTV News. "I don't even know.
She was even unsure of the title of the album, which she worked on with her real-life love and fiancé, The-Dream.
"It's called Elope right now. Who knows, knowing me — I'm changing constantly," she offered. "But it's called Elope. It's through Interscope records and I did it with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.
"I'm really excited. It's [about] a young female growing into a woman, and it's very honest. The album's fun, so I'm looking forward to performing it, and putting it out, and it's looking like end of this year, top of next year"

"She is supposedly a fan of mine." Dobson replies after Honey question her as to whether Hihanna has bitten her signature style. "I try to take it as a compliment. It gets a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me but overall I just want people to separate the image and listen to the music. It’s about the music. Its like Prince and Michael Jackson, totally different artists. Or its like Kanye Westand Jay-Z. So what? They are both black men, they sound different. So they both wear jeans, they are different. "
Fefe also addressed the issue of Jordin Sparks re-recording one of her songs "Don't Let It Go To You Head" for her sophomore album "Battlefield".
"She [Jordin] said really nice things about me to MTV. It was really sweet. It was nice she did more of an urban, R&B version of it. It wasn’t like a rock version or anything. It was a completely different version so I was like ‘OK cool’. She wasn’t trying to carbon copy me."

“I have a lot of respect and admiration for the genius of Lil ‘Wayne and the entire Young Money family. I asked to be released from the label to pursue other opportunities that were recently presented to me. Because of our relationship, Lil’ Wayne had no issue with us ending our business relationship and released me from the label. Lil’ Wayne and I have nothing but love for each other, there is no Beef. I also wanted to make it clear that my company nor did I, leak the song, “I Get It In” and I want to dispel any rumors that have surfaced. I appreciate my relationship with Young Money/ Cash Money and look forward to doing business in the future.
There will be a major announcement regarding my career and my new album, “Ollusion” coming next week. Stay tuned…” –Omarion

“I can definitely say for me, for furthering the negativity, I can definitely say I apologize,” Drake told MTV News. “I don’t know her personally to discredit her character. It’s not the right thing to do.”
“There’s a lot of people with schedules beyond the average person’s comprehension,” Drake said. “And at times they prioritize. And a new artist that has made this long journey [to meet] from another country, they may not be their biggest priority, so they may get pushed to the side. The situation, I don’t want to get into too many details. It was basically [me] feeling trapped. I was courted by somebody and then they just axed everything. I was stuck. They disappeared. And I couldn’t find anybody to talk to about the situation. And then to meet again a year later and to have this person forget they ever met me and say that I should go meet at their office so we can talk about signing me. I was kind of in one of those moments like, For real? [But] everybody has those moments where things aren’t gonna go perfect.”
“I was looking for an opportunity recently to apologize for how vicious I’ve been,” he said. “Not to say I negate my feelings — I still feel strongly about it. But I’m a person that usually handles things with much more tact.”

"Again [I'll be] taking full control conceptually, new ideas. I've been through so much in these past four years, and music has changed so much, the industry is completely different, so you have to kinda reinvent".
“Nicole obviously is our lead singer, we’ll go into the studio and begin recording and some of the other girls will also be recording. Nicole will end up doing her solo thing at some point but it’s not right now.”
“I understand that all the girls want to be seen and heard, and I understand that everyone is here to be your best and achieve your goal of what you’ve been working on your whole life.”
“I am supportive of all of them and how they feel and what they want, but on the other hand, there’s a reason why Nicole Scherzinger is our lead singer. She is literally one of the most incredible singers and performers that I’ve ever known. She works so hard and practices 24/7, and she takes her dance classes. She works on her voice 24/7, and that’s what it takes to be a star. If you want it and want it that bad, you have to work that hard.”

'That's why when you see me I keep it simple," he continued"I don't want people to get lost in the wrong things. Forget about how I dress, talk about how awesome my album is".
"I'm definitely one of the top 5 artists right now saying something important in mainstream music right now" he continued "We're infecting peoples brains with knowledge and we're hitting em with some real serious scenario's, stuff that I've dealt with, that millions of people across the world can relate to. My album is a confessional on a whole nother level. A whole lot of new artists are coming out now likeWalé and Bobby Ray (BoB) I think we're all gonna push the envelope of creativity and I think it's gonna spark a whole new movement."

One of my favorite rappers and complex minds , Kid Cudi , recently did an interview for "COMPLEX" magazine i suggest you all read some of the excerpts from it below.
"My biggest fear is getting wrapped up in the illusion of fame and Hollywood and shit like that. Getting wrapped up in the worldly things like drugs and the excitement of being famous. I have a vulnerable enough past that it could propel me into that world. I don’t want to be caught up in it. I want to do something while I’m here. This is hell."
"Most of my groupies are spawns of the devil. [Laughs.] They’re there to take me off track and fuck up my purpose. It’s like the dark side is trying to pull me in. Who wouldn’tlike a bunch of hot-ass bitches saying, “Hey, we all wanna fuck you right now!”? [Laughs.] But you have to realize that it’s an illusion, that you can get caught up, turn into a person that you never knew you could be—and I don’t wanna be that dude."
"I was always the ugly duckling; I never got attention from girls like that. So now that it’s happening, I’m kind of hip to it. I know half of these bitches wouldn’t be talking to me if I wasn’t Kid Cudi, and I’m not no fool, you know what I’m saying? I wasn’t born yesterday."
