The Ross cover is already on newsstands in New York, but this one has yet to hit the racks. Here’s a few excerpts courtesy of VIBE.

AMBER ON LIFE POST-KANYE:

“What am I supposed to do? Crawl up in a corner and die ‘cause I’m not with Kanye anymore? Am I supposed to go back to the strip club and not take these opportunities that I have?”



AMBER OF HER RELATIONSHIP WITH REGGIE BUSH:

“Me and Reggie [Bush] dated very briefly after Kanye…We were both each other’s rebound and we both knew that and were cool with that.”



AMBER ON WHY HER STORY IS RELATABLE:

“I don’t have rich parents and it’s a struggle. I can’t just call my dad and be like, ‘Dad, my money is a little messed up. Can you buy me a car or a house? It’s not like that for me. I feel like more people will relate to my story than the Kardashians or the Hiltons.”



AMBER ON BEING ICONIC:

“Kanye would always tell be how beautiful I was and that I was going to be iconic. He always said that, ‘Baby, you are iconic. You don’t understand what you have.’ I didn’t. I didn’t understand it.”

Fabolous and Jeezy get trigger happy with Gunplay’s current single. Wonder how many more plan to roll out with this track.

You might remember this track leaking a while back but here it is finally in its mastered form courtesy of Nicki herself. I think we’re ok that this didn’t find its way on Pink Friday.
