The Newsstand – Gabrielle, Drake, And Maxwell
Gabrielle Union takes on those who call her a homewrecker. “The only marriage that I’ve ever been a part of destroying is my own, and it’s not my place to talk about anybody else’s…”
Maxwell talks about feeling lost in the game. “I remember feeling like life had slipped out of my fingers. I was always on the road. My life wasn’t a real life.”
Drake does his first cover with Fader magazine. He goes in on Sylvia Rhone. He says he did a distribution deal with Universal Republic cause he doesn’t “f@#k with Motown”. He talks Wayne. ”I respect the fact that Wayne put me in this position,” he said. “But as an artist I have to do my own thing at this point. I’m not sure if that’s gonna be a struggle in the next couple of month, to set myself apart. I don’t want it to feel like a disrespectful thing, but I know it’s a bridge that I’m going to cross as far as becoming my own person.” The full article is due to hit the stands August 18th.
