Maxim is being accused of prematurely reviewing Nas’ upcoming album entitled “Nigger”. The album was given a 2.5 star rating, even though the reviewer openly admitted to just hearing two tracks on the album. In an interview with the NYPost, Nas got on Maxim for reviewing his album while he’s still in the process of recording it. Here’s what he had to say:
“I’m finishing the album now and it will be out April 22. I’d prefer (a review from) Playboy. That kind of stuff doesn’t reach my radar or effect anybody around me. I don’t know what a music rating from Maxim is. I don’t know what it even means really.”
And all this time I thought Maxim was strictly half-naked white chicks. It’s evident that Nas has had to deal with a lot of negativity since he leaked the title of his album. Aside from the controversial issues which surround the album, I just want to know how can an album be rated if the damn thing aint’ even completed??? I swear, this album better live up to all this hype…
She made a lot of money early on. She celebrated by buying a relative an expensive car.She was taken aback when the relative told her, she would have preferred money, instead.Too much too soon could apply to this woman. She spent recklessly and hooked up with the man of her dreams, or so she thought.
The beatings started right after the honeymoon. One evening, she was scheduled to attend a function, a car service picked her and hubby up. They got into an argument and he started punching her in the face, the driver had to pull the car to the side of the rode and rescue her from a fury of punches. Interestingly, the husband didn’t stand up to the driver.
She was famous before she hooked up with him but for some reason, he credited himself with her fame and often threw it in her face which baffled her. Over time, he became very resentful of her success and set out to control every part of her life.
The violence escalated and got so out of control that she took advantage of hubby’s new found drug habit. To avoid nightly beatings, she would shoot him up with heroin. He would nod off and she would have a nice and peaceful sleep until he awoke in the morning and the cycle would repeat itself.
Once, he dragged her to the closet, forcibly put her foot in the doorway and slammed the closet door on it, breaking it. He was also known to lock in her the closet.
This once pretty woman was stripped of her self esteem and couldn’t even make eye contact with people and her husband took over her career and her finances.
Despite being famous and respected in her field, hubby was calling smut magazines behind her back, trying to arrange nude layouts.
She suffered horrific beatings at the hands of this madman. Her family eventually rescued her, hubby didn’t pursue her because the money had ran out and he referred to her as “damaged goods.”
She’s never been the same and her career has never recovered.
Hint: She’s not a singer
