Rihanna is GQ Man of the Year

Machine Gun Riri is wearing more tattoos than clothing in her new spread for GQ’s Men Of The Year issue which hits news stands this month. In the new cover story, Ri chops it up with GQ writer Jay Bulger (who spent time with the singer while she was parading around NYC with Chris Brown) about two of her favorite subjects: music and sex. In the interview, she says that while some people just see her as dollar signs, she’s not into making corny music that’s not real and she admits that her highly sexual personality comes from her culture.

Also, if you want to turn her on, you better know how to take control:

On People Seeing Her As Only A Product
Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn’t like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery.
I want to make music that’s hopeful, uplifting. Nothing corny or super-sentimental. I just want it to have the feeling that brings you out of whatever you’re going through. I want it to spark that fire. I want it to be real, authentic, and raw.
On Being Highly Sexual
That comes from my culture. That’s just the way it’s always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious….I was a lot more naive about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about ‘Oh, you’re a sex symbol,’ it just makes you think, ‘Why are you saying that?’ And I figured it out.
On Her Turn Ons
I like to feel like a woman.  I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead.
On if she believes the Drake & Chris’ Bottle Fight Was Because of Her
There’s no proof of that being for my love. That’s my answer to that question.

I feel like people fail to realize that this girl is still a baby. She's trying to figure things out on her own. I agree with Rihanna when she says America acts like its a forbidden fruit. The more you hide things from the youth the more they want it. You have to educate them and teach them right from wrong. Rihanna has done a lot of growing up and I'm proud of her...OnPointCeleb!

NEW INTERVIEW: Alicia Keys covers Complex Magazine

With Alicia's album "Girl On Fire" soon to release this month, she appears on the cover of Complex Magazine.She look absolutely adorable...OnPointCeleb!

Here are some excerpts and photos from the spread:

On Her Song ‘Brand New Me’
“Don’t be mad that I’m different,” Alicia explains about the song. “Don’t be mad that I’m changed. Don’t be mad that I’m grown. You can’t affect me the way you once did. You can’t be mad. Like, how could you be mad?”
“My favorite part of that song is the bridge. The bridge says, ‘If you were a friend, you’d want to get to know me again/If you were worth the while, you’d be happy to see me smile/I’m not expectin’ sorry. I’m too busy finding myself.’ All of us have had that type of realization: ‘You don’t control me. You might have at one time, but you don’t anymore.’ I love that song so much. It’s so freaking real.”

On Being Guarded
“I mean, what the hell?  The whole freaking world is looking at your s–t. It’s scary. I didn’t want to say every single thing because you don’t want people to know that. There’s personal and there’s public, and I deserve the right to have a personal space.”

On Feeling Caged vs. Feeling In Charge
“Becoming my new self, some people didn’t understand me anymore. Some people who I knew for years—we couldn’t be on the same page anymore. That’s OK because that’s part of growing, too. The hardest thing is to trust yourself, to know that what you’re feeling is valid. A lot of times we dismiss our feelings. I realized that I can trust myself and say, ‘No, I’m not comfortable with that.’ That was the toughest part. When I finally had the bravery to do that, that’s when I started to feel on fire.”

On Frank Ocean Coming Out
“That was super brave and I’m so glad that he wrote it,” she says. “He is the voice for so many people. We’re all boxed in to these stupid things that we’re taught is the way we’re supposed to be and it’s so ridiculous. There are so many people that need a champion to assure them that no matter who you are, you are a beautiful person. That doesn’t change the fact that you’re talented or intelligent. Thank God that we have come to this place where we can actually know and be more open to the fact that people come in all different ways. And that’s great because it’s a very boring world otherwise.”

On Staying Out of the Doghouse In A Relationship
“It’s real easy,” she says. “You stay outta the doghouse by not being a dog. You know what to do. That’s it. Life is real easy. You know what the key is? Honesty. OK, honesty isn’t easy. Honesty can be hurtful. It can be painful. It can be difficult. But honesty makes things easier. ’Cause then you don’t have to go back and do all types of other bulls–t. It’s just better. Trust me.”

On Naming Her Son Egypt
“I took an important trip for myself to Egypt. There were a lot of things that needed to change. I was not as experienced then, so I felt close to a breakdown. I went to Egypt, and I went alone. I sailed down the Nile and I saw the temples, the tombs, and the pyramids. It was powerful.” She adds with a laugh, “It was very Cleopatra.”
When we found out I was pregnant, my husband said, ‘Egypt was such an important time for you. That really changed your life.’ Wouldn’t that be amazing as a name?’ Once he said that, I was like, ‘Yes.’

Necole Bitchie Interviews Ciara Part 1 & 2

Ciara is a Lover. She values the essentials of life more than money; which includes LOVE. The singer is waiting patiently for the man of her dreams. Watching this interview made me love Ciara more than I did before. The attitude she has is wonderful, considering the industry she works in.
I am proud of Ciara for keeping her head up and believing in her dream...OnPointCeleb!

Ciara on how her parents’ 30 year marriage shaped who she is as a person
The way that I look at life is that I only understand the concept of marriage. My grandparents were married for 50 years, so when I date a person, I don’t like to jump fast. I don’t like casual dating, I don’t understand that so well. I don’t mean that in a funny way but for example in every relationship, I may have been around a person for a little second. Most of the people I usually meet them from working or being around them and then it usually turns into something. I don’t really understand the concept of randomly meeting someone and then going out. I have very few experiences like that. So because of my parents, I move slow in a relationship.
Ciara on Love:
I really believe that love is everything. It is so necessary, without love you have nothing. You can’t live without love in my book and in my world. So I look forward to that moment.
Ciara on her fear of not finding Love:
I sacrifice pretty much all of my time for my career and there has to be a balance to it. What good is having success in your work but not being able to share it with someone? That’s not living to me. Having career success is important but having life success is even more important to me. Especially, now more than ever it’s a must.
I look ahead and I look forward to knowing who I am going to spend my life with. I can go rock the stage, but to know when I go home, my baby or my boo is waiting for me, that’s fun and that is the icing on the cake.
On Amar’e's engagement
People don’t know that Amar’e and I weren’t together before you started seeing the two of them together but I have to say, I’m probably more happy for her. I’m more happy for the woman because she’s been very, very, very patient. They’ve had a long relationship off-and-on for years and they have kids together and I think it’s important that if people can figure it out together with the mother and father, why not? So I wish them nothing but success on that. The crazy thing is, when I was like 19 years old, Amar’e actually courted me, just for a little bit, and it never turned into anything and we didn’t go far with it. We met again after my relationship that was before him, and he’s always been a nice guy. Always been very nice to me, always been very respectful and I had a very fun experience. You know, you meet people along the way for a reason and I felt like he and I met for a reason, and we had fun in our experience and there is nothing hard about it.
I’m honestly wishing for him to figure things out the right way in his life. It’s something so positive that came from that, so none of it is any of that funkiness. Everything happens for a reason and I’m wishing him luck. I really am. I mean that from my heart. Who is meant for me will be for me. It ain’t even that serious. No heaviness over here.
On what 50 Cent is like as a person, outside of his online and rap persona
To be quite honest with you, saying that he was my best friend at some point, he is a very, very smart guy. He is very real and sincerely what he is. Like, it’s not a joke. We are not making up what we are in reference to how he is and he is a very family oriented person, all about family.
On the most memorable moment in her career
I don’t know why I want to say winning a Grammy but I feel like it’s not my most memorable moment but it came to mind. It’s one of my most memorable moments. I didn’t appreciate that moment as much as I do now, looking back. Time went on and now I’m like, moments like that, thinking back on it, really makes me feel the need to live my life and appreciate the things that happen to me when they happen.

On what she’d like for her legacy to be
On the entertainment side of it all, I would hope to go down as a great performer. It’s my mission to make a mark in that way. Business wise, in addition to entertainment, I hope to build an empire and build a brand that’s really strong and be able to last even when I’m not doing anything. Eternal success is very important.
I hope to inspire others, and for people to know that dreams are really real. I wasn’t raised in this. Every mistake and every performance has pretty much happened in front of the world. I didn’t grow up singing in church but I had a dream. I kid you not, as soon as I put my mind to it and said this is what I wanted to do, I wrote it down on paper and everything manifested. Everything fell into place. I feel like my experience can encourage anyone to know that no matter what time, or when you figure out what you want to do, its possible. So, I hope to inspire.

RIP Natina Reed (Blaque)

I am greatly saddened to say that Natina Reed, former member of the group Blaque, has passed. According to online sources she was involved in a hit-and-run accident last night. She would have turned 33 years old tomorrow. Natina left behind a son.
Natina was popular in 1999 for being a member of the group Blaque. They were signed to Left Eye Production a production company developed by the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. They were known for songs like "Bring it all to me" and "808". Natina also featured in the 2000 movie "Bring It On" alongside Gabrielle Union.
I was a huge fan of Natina Reed and Blaque when they we hot. Bring it On is still one of my favorite movies. I knew every single word that was said by Natina and Gabrielle Union. When I use to watch it I would pretend I was Natina...lol
I am sad to hear this news...Natina Reed will be greatly missed.

Halle Berry talks being biracial, self-esteem issues, and being stalked by paparazzi

Ms. Halle Berry is 47 years old and looks amazing. She looks young and rock starish in her signature pixie cut as she posing in the newest issue of T Magazine. Inside, she dishes on what it was like to grow up bi-racial (while comparing it to a secret society), as well as why she believe she has a hard time finding Mr. Right, how she felt after she won her Oscar and her continued troubles with being stalked by Paparazzi.  She also revealed that she always felt like the underdog growing up which made her an over-achiever.
Catch excerpts from the very candid and revealing interview below:

On how her mother helped shape her into the women she has become
My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me. Bloodlines didn’t matter as much as how I would be perceived” — as beautiful but also as a black woman in a world in which the images of beautiful, successful black women were notably absent.
On being mixed race
Being biracial is sort of like being in a secret society. Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.
On her beauty and self-esteem
Just because they see my face doesn’t mean they see me. A person’s self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks. If it’s true that I’m beautiful, I’m proof of that. Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.
On why she is grounded
I come from humble beginnings. I always felt like the underdog. Behind the eight ball. I learned not to be too high on the hog. Even that night I won the Oscar, I had a fundamental knowing, it was just a moment in time. Driving home that night, back to my house, I felt like Cinderella. I said, ‘When this night is over, I’m going back to who I was.’ And I did.
On being hounded by paparazzi day in day out
They’re outside my house every morning, I get it about the celebrity stuff. It’s part of my job to recognize that there’s a certain part of my life the public wants to hear about. But it’s not okay that they’re doing terrible things to my daughter. One night, after they chased us, it took me two hours just to get her calmed down enough to get to sleep.
On why she hasn’t been able to find the right partner
God just wanted to mix up my life. Maybe he was thinking, ‘This girl can’t get everything! I’m going to give her a broken picker.
On why she so desperately wants to move out of America
I can’t grow my daughter in L.A. You take a little child who is just trying to learn about the world and have all these people with cameras chasing after her, calling things out to her about her mother. It’s starting to make her feel special and different. I want her to feel special and different, but not for the reason of being my child.
On what she would do if she didn’t have the press in her face for a day
I’d go to the market with my daughter. Go to Santa Monica Pier and take her on a ride. Nothing special. Just live some normal life for once.

Solange Covers Elle Magazine in South Africa

For the shoot, Solange assisted stylist and fashion editor Asanda Sizani with picking out pieces by South African designers that most suited her style.

The Feature writer who interviewed Solange says: 
My interview with her was an incredible experience. We sat in her penthouse at 15 on Orange on the Thursday night and chatted while she had her nails done. It didn’t feel like a formal interview at all, and we chatted our way through the points I wanted to cover. The sense I got throughout the interview was that she is a real person; a young mom who is doing what she loves.

Rihanna talks Dating and Chris Brown

On her Dating life:

I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero.
I would love to go on a date! You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point. She takes a sip of wine. “Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”
So what gives?
No one asks. Trust me on that. I’m waiting for the man who’s ballsy enough to deal with me. I’m going to wait, though. You always find the wrong sh-t when you go looking.

When asked about her friendship with Chris Brown, she responded:

There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other. The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song.
I didn’t think [Birthday Cake] could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together . . . it could be a little shocking.
So now it’s a bit of a fascination, I guess. I don’t know if people will stop soon, but I feel like as soon as they have closure to it, they will. But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.

And if you are wondering why Rihanna doesn’t take a break and continues to release an album almost every year [6 albums in 7 years], her manager Jay Brown had a matter-of-fact answer for that:

If you have a new iPhone every year, why can’t we give them new content?
But I don’t think she’s thinking of it like that. She’s thinking, I love to make music. I want to keep going.

Miguel Addresses Issues and Talk About New Album

While on a promo run for his new album ‘Kaleidoscope Dream’, which hits stores today, Miguel stopped by Power 105.1′s Breakfast Club Morning Show this morning to chat about music, rumors, and hip hop beef. While talking about his latest project, Miguel said that he doesn’t blame anyone for questioning his sexuality when he first came out because his style was so different. He also talked about his twitter beef with Lloyd,  his recent drama with Roscoe Dash over ghostwriting Wale’s ‘Lotus Flower Bomb’ and revealed that you probably won’t be seeing him at the BET Hip Hop Awards again next year.
Peep a few of the excerpts and video of the full interview below:

On the Gay Rumors
You guys know this because you’re on air, people make a lot of assumptions about you. Not necessarily about your sexuality but about whatever. I think at first, kind of getting acclimated to the fact that people are watching and everything you do is scrutinized, I had to take a step back. I think now, when I look at everything, I know that first and foremost [it is about] the music, and I don’t want to do anything that detracts from the authenticity of who I am as an artist. People are going to say what they’re gonna say. You can’t really try to please other people, but as long as what you’re doing is real, then they have to respect that.

On His Style When He First Hit The Scene
Looking back, I did look odd… In the midst of trying to maintain some kind of individuality while being marketed a certain way, I was just trying to be myself in the midst of being pressured to be something that I wasn’t. So I found myself making choices — you know when someone’s rushing you to make a decision? Sometimes you don’t make the best decisions because you’re just trying to keep up. I think that’s what it was. I don’t really regret any of it.
On His New Album
I think this album is multipurpose. My first album was so romance-based and this album is more about like, vibe. I really really hope this album is played at like, photo shoots and inspires people to be creative and do some crazy sh-t in the bedroom like you wouldn’t try. [Whether it's] role playing…[You do role playing Miguel?] Yeah! There’s a song called vixen on my album. If you got that, that explains exactly the role playing. It could be the president and Jackie O. I’ve definitely done that, for sure.

On R&B
I think in general, R&B has gotten really lazy in the more contemporary sense of the word. Like I’ve said before it’s become more like a stereotype. When you think of R&B, you think bedroom or you think sexy or R&B crooner, you know, buzz words. It’s become a ‘this is what it is.’ I’m a huge fan of Trey. I’m a huge fan of Ne-Yo, I’m a huge fan of Usher. These are friends of mine that I’ve gotten to work with, that I’ve gotten to do shows with, and I’m just excited to hopefully inspire non-lazy R&B music. I’m not saying they are being [lazy], I’m just saying for cats that are coming into the game, just to remind people that you don’t have to stick to what people expect to make money [and] to be successful. Be creative.

On His Beef With Lloyd
Get out of here man. That’s so retarded, it’s not even worth talking about. I ran into Lloyd. I spoke to him. I approached him about it man to man.

On Attending the BET Hip Hop Awards
I did catch tension between artists and other artists, like in the middle of a performance just checking other artists that they might have beef with. [Would you go next year?]  Probably not.

On Roscoe Dash Calling Him Out Over Wale’s ‘Lotus Flower Bomb’
Of all people he’s gonna attack the R&B dude out of everybody, right? I have no idea [if he wrote 'Lotus Flower Bomb.'] I was asked to be apart of the song so when I got the song I was told what was written, was written by certain parties. I came in and then I added my portion. I know what I wrote, I got credit for what I wrote, so my business is…that’s all that matters to me anyways. For the next man, if your business is not handled, you hire somebody on your team to deal with that properly. I didn’t say anything that was out of line. He has dope records though.
I mean, at the end of the day if you agree to be a ghostwriter, then be ghost about it.[...]I spoke to him in Atlanta [at the BET Hip Hop Awards] and he apologized about it.

On Frank Ocean Coming Out
It’s interesting the timing of when it was announced. It could have been a marketing ploy, who’s to say. At the end of the day as a grown a– man I don’t really care what the sexuality of the next man is.

I like Miguel he is a real artist...OnPointCeleb!

Newlyweds Gloria And Matt Barnes Cover Rolling Out Magazine

These two are too cute...Love it! Check out the interview excerpts below:

On their 8 month break from each other
Gloria : We took an eight month hiatus. Now that we’re back together, we’re mainly focused on becoming friends again and mainly parents too. We got into such a routine that we forgot to do all the lovey dovey stuff like date nights. I grew so much over those eight months.
Now I have to be like, ‘Uh uh, I know I used to like that because you liked it but I said all that to be cute for you! I don’t like eggs mother—! So now he’s really getting to now me. That’s fun.
Matt: We love each other. As a young couple you need to experience stuff and live your life and do things sometimes on your own. I understood that and she understood that. It was a small break that was hard but at the time was needed. It brought us closer together and we’re a lot stronger now.”

Matt on why he will not be returning to Basketball Wives LA
Matt: I’ve been a side piece to ‘Basketball Wives. I’ve never been a main character so to speak. This season I’m completely not in the show. I think for the sake of our relationship it was best to fall back and not put our stuff out there like before for people to pick and pry through. This time around we’re gonna do what works for us and not what society wants us to do.

On when the two will get married
Gloria: It’s not that we’re not interested; it’s just not now. I don’t think it’ll be what people are expecting. I’ll probably be like ‘hey, I got married girl,’ wanna come to the party? I’ll probably send out a flyer for the party,”
Matt’s a traditionalist so he’ll want a big wedding. Which I would do [for him], but it won’t be like a Kim Kardashian wedding. It’ll be like, ‘you want some barbecue?’. [...] Marriage is something I want to do, it’s just not on my number one priority list. Maybe, don’t tell him I said this…maybe another baby,” says Gloria in a whisper.

Gloria on if she truly meant what she said about wanting to kick Evelyn and Jackie Christie azzes
Absolutely [I stick by that.] My feelings are what they are to Evelyn, I don’t like to kick anyone while they’re down but…I think they’re a cute couple I honestly do [Chad and Evelyn] and I know Chad really loves her. Mainly I hope they keep people out of their relationship. That’s what I’ve had to do. Jackie Christie has a mouth piece on her, she’ll make a paraplegic feel bad for her. The way she kind of suckers you in with her words; she’ll give you so many compliments to the point that you’re like ‘damn, okay!’ [extends arms] Give me a hug girl. She’s someone you have to accept, she’s like a beauty mark or a birthmark. It’s like ‘damn that sh— terrible, but it’s there. You work around it.

Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose & Her Baby Bump Cover XXL

Amber On Giving Birth:
I’m so ready. I’m going all-natural. I’ve decided that I’m going to have an all-natural water birth. No medicine. I want those bragging rights! The next time Wiz has a stomachache or anything, I’ll say, ‘I popped out a baby all-natural.’

Amber On Wiz:
[H]e’s just a genuine sweet guy. And that’s what made me fall in love with him. And I just said, “You know what, I don’t care if he’s a rapper.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you’re a gold-digger.” I don’t care if people say, “Oh, you went from one rapper to another,” or whatever. I love him. I don’t look at him as a rapper. I look at him as Cameron Thomaz, not even Wiz Khalifa. I just fell so deeply in love with him, I didn’t care what anyone says.”

Wiz On Getting Together With Amber:
I love my baby. She’s gorgeous and it makes me look even cooler when I show how much I love her to other people… When I met Amber, she loved me for who I was. I had some money, but it was like to pay my bills and literally set myself up for a future. But I was wearing the same camo shorts and high-tops and Chucks. But she liked my swag and she liked me for who I was and I wasn’t afraid of that… She didn’t wanna date any entertainers or anybody in the business. She didn’t know who she wanted to be with, but she knew who she didn’t wanna be with.

Wiz On Recording His New Album With Amber At Home:
I just gotta do it. The most important thing is knowing that she is there and I have to tend to my babies. This is my first child ever in life. I gotta go hard at everything. As hard as I go in the studio, I gotta go just as hard taking care of my baby and making sure she’s alright, and I’m spending time with her and she doesn’t feel neglected.

These two are so adorable together and Amber looks fierce with the baby bump. It was a good idea to keep the secret for the first five months because everyone loves them even more now. OnPointCelebz!

Jaden Smith Speaks On Personal Style, Relationships & Best Advice He’s Ever Received From His Father

Will Smith’s mini me recently sat down for an interview with The Life Files and it seems as though he has learned a lot from his father.  Rocking gear from his Msfts clothing line, Jaden talked how he first met Justin Bieber as well as being criticized for his fashion choices and how he got started with his own clothing company. He also revealed that he’d prefer to watch ‘Steve Job interviews’ over reality TV any day while sharing the best advice he’s ever received from his father.
It was a pretty good interview for a 14 year old. 

Catch the excerpts below:

On His Fashion Choices
I have this image in my head of what I think an amazing fashion person would look like, and I really just take whatever I would want to wear and I just put it on. Sometimes you get criticized for it, [but] give it two months and everybody’s wearing it. I just really like that skater look — wake up in the morning and throw some clothes on still looking fly, you know what I mean? I get a lot of my fashion just from things that I see, inspiration just comes in and out in the day. I don’t think that I’m a fashion guru or anything. I just put on stuff to go skate. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. [Points to his clothes] These are just random skate shoes…. And a top shop [jacket] and a Msfts tee and pants. That’s my company that I make. It’s basically just like a skate lifestyle company. I basically wear the same thing everyday.

On His Fashion Line
It started off with the music and in my raps I would always refer to me and my friends as ‘msfts.’ Then we trademarked it and started making these shirts and stuff and everything and I started really getting into fashion. And then once I started really getting into fashion, I started making everything and I got my sister involved and then it’s like a full on thing that we’re doing now. That’s where I get all of my like, cheetah pants and zebra pants. I probably get criticized most from that.

On whether he watches Reality TV.
I watch like, Steve Jobs interviews, I don’t really watch TV. I stopped watching TV when I turned like ten because my parents were like, ‘TV’s really bad for you.’ I’ll watch movies I like to see, Steve Jobs interviews, something that’s going to make me smart and then go to sleep. I always have to go to sleep with the TV on though. I’m always watching something, I just don’t like watching TV. I don’t like being sold something every five minutes a commercial comes up.[...]We have iPhones now. If I want to see  [what my family has] coming up I [would just] Google it.
On Working on ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ With His Dad
It was pretty cool, you know. We were working together and it was fun until we get into a scene and we were both very serious about it but it was cool. It was fun having that experience with my dad ’cause he really taught me a lot of the stuff that he knows. Almost everything he knows about acting in that one movie.

On The Best Advice His Dad Has Ever Given Him
My dad one time told me, he was like, ‘The only time you should lie is when someone’s holding a gun to your head and says ‘Okay, lie or I’m going to shoot you.’ And that really stuck with me. I think about that a lot. I used to not be really honest with girls and then I dropped a song called ‘Starry Room’ and then I started turning over a new leaf. Now, I’m completely honest with girls all the time and they just get mad at me.
I had recently gotten out of a relationship so I made this song that was really heartfelt for me — some of my best lyrics. Me and that girl’s anniversary was gonna come up so I decided to drop it and [interviewer interrupts: How long were y'all together!? Anniversary?! Six years, ten years!?] *laughs* It was like a month-iversary. You know how teens are.
