WORD? CELEBRITY QUOTES FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 30

Lil Wayne

I don't think what people think should be any concern of anybody's. It's definitely not a concern of mine. I'd be crazy if it was and you're crazy if you are. But that goes back to me not caring about what people think or say. They wanna be [baby mama] number five, six, and seven, so ...

- Lil Wayne on his baby mother's

 

 

 

 

 

Eve

They promised me the machine. The machine is basically the rollout. It's, 'Yo, when ["Flirt"] comes out, we'll give you this, we'll give you that.' And that's what made me mad. It'd be different if we didn't have a meeting where people promised me sh--. If they were just like, 'Oh, we're going to put the album out and see what happens,' that would be one thing.

- Eve on Interscope Records

 

 

 

 

 

Trey Songz

At this point in my career, with all the opportunity arising, this is definitely a major highlight within those opportunities. It's a chance to highlight artists, a chance for them to be vulnerable, a chance for them to contort their music and give it to people a different way, to show that I'm truly an artist and that I love to do what I do: making music. To do it on that platform, the same one as so many artists before me, is just really amazing.

- Trey Songz

 

 

 

 

 

Common

It's 'good' music. The themes are street music and elevation, things that I feel like I always embody when I rap. But here there's new situations, new solutions.

- Common on his new album

 

 

 

 

Nicki Minaj

People will pick anything to talk about, and that happens to be the thing at the moment. I love being a conversation piece.

- Nicki Minaj on the talk she wears butt pads

 

 

 

 

 

Ray J

First off, if you want to keep your stuff private then you can't have nude photos in your portfolio. You can't have that on your computer. That's the first way to stay away from it: Don't do it. And then the second thing is don't do it.

- Ray J

 

 

 

 

 

Rick Ross

Most definitely, we making a lot of big moves. We making a lot of big moves, you know what I'm saying? Shout-out to Diddy, the Ciroc Boys. You know what I mean? We got a big announcement we gonna be making real soon. And we got a lot of big ventures we're looking into so I'm excited. June 29th is the tentative date [for my album] we're looking at right now.

- Rick Ross

 

 

 

 

Bow Wow

Guys are like, we’re the dog. We’re the inner beast; the lion. I’m not saying it’s cool, but there’s a difference between men and women. It’s been that way forever. A woman is supposed to be pure and respect her body. As guys, we’re dogs. Dogs are messy and dirty.

- Bow Wow on men and women

 

 

 

 

Usher

People just assume that Raymond v. Raymond means Usher versus his ex-wife, but it is a personal evaluation. We are our own worst enemy, and we are our greatest supporter at the same time. Consider me naive, but I didn’t think that people would think [it was about my relationship], because I was not divorced when I came up with the name.

- Usher

 

 

 

 

Nene Leakes

Y r people saying i’m wit Charles Grant! I hosted his charity event last year & now were dating! How’s that possible when we don’t even talk.

- Nene Leakes on rumors she's dating NFL player Charles Grant

 

 

 

 

 

Ice Cube

I want to. But I don't want to do it without Chris Tucker. That's what people want. I really want to give people what they want, especially doing it for a fourth time. We can't just go through a movie without giving the people exactly what they want.

- Ice Cube on doing another 'Friday'

 

 

 

 

 

Luke Campbell

This year I'm supposed to be honored, but they only want to honor me as a member of the 2 Live Crew. They want to honor Master P for his business savvy and they want to honor Jermaine Dupri for his business savvy and I'm kind of offended by that. We have basically been talking it out, but it's just so sad that people just don't know my history. 

 

 

 

 

DJ Premier

The main thing is we never dissolved our Gang Starr contract. We are still signed to each other. We never disbanded the group. If Guru really wanted to super-dead it he would have said, 'Yo, I want out.' And I still would have tried to convince him to stay. We are still Gang Starr.

- DJ Premier on Guru

 

 

 

 

 

Ryan Leslie

I'm really excited about it. I worked with Chris on [a song for] his latest album, 'Famous Girl.’ I just came from L.A. working with Keri. I've really gotten comfortable with the idea that I'm not just a producer to these artists, I'm also a peer as well.

- Ryan Leslie on performing at Chris Brown's charity concert

 

 

 

 

 

The Game

I'll let you know that right now it's definitely, definitely going to come, and Dre's been working harder than ever. Everybody's been in and out the studio. I've been in grinding with him, I'm going back in tomorrow to actually work some more, and get it to where we can all come to that happy medium where we're like. 'Damn, we finally got 'Detox' and man it's crazy.'

- The Game on Dr. Dre's Detox

 

 

 

 

 

Monica

I think it’s even more special coming from Bran like that because we started at a time where there weren’t a lot of us and of course they made us not like each other. And we were young enough to not understand that it was just for media sensationalism altogether. We didn’t get it and now as adults with us being friends and both being mothers it means a lot to know that she’s always in my corner instead of feeling like she’s my rival because it’s strength in numbers.

- Monica on Brandy

 

 

 

 

 

Sandra Bullock

He's just perfect, I can't even describe him any other way. It's like he's always been a part of our lives.

- Sandra Bullock on the adoption of her baby

 

 

 

 

 

Jim Jones

I think the business is pretty easy to learn especially the way the kids are so susceptible to music ... they could learn a song in one day. But, one of my angles I am coming with is building a bridge between music and real education.

- Jim Jones on the music industry

 

 

 

 

 

Nick Cannon

It doesn't bother me at all. I love [the jokes], I welcome it. It's fun...You take it with a grain of salt.

- Nick Cannon on the title of Mr. Carey

 

 

 

 

Kim Kardashian

My sister weighs less than I do, and she just had a baby -- so that's kind of fascinating to me!

- Kim Kardashian on her sister, Kourtney
