via his blog:

I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her.  I am truly sorry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The damage is done—and maybe your reputation as well.

heads up: Rolling Stone.

One can only hope that Nasir woke up early on his born day. He’s 36. It’s a blessing, ya know. According to his horoscope:  You are a busy and productive person, and someone who finds time to help others even when your own schedule is overloaded. This year, be prepared to put your own needs first. This is a year to determine what you want in life and move forward to make it happen.

In the meantime, just chill out with a Virgo.

Bonus: Look at who Boosie ran into today at the Gucci store on 5th Ave.
