Amber Rose Says Vibe Magazine Printed Lies in Cover Story.

Landing the cover of Vibe Magazine’s Sexy Issue started off as a happy moment for model Amber Rose, until she actually read what the publication printed about her.

Rose, who gained popularity while dating hip-hop star Kanye West, sounded off via Twitter late Saturday evening (May 28), saying the cover story was “untrue and ridiculous.”

“Just read ‘my’ interview in @VibeMagazine half of the story was untrue & ridiculous,” Rose tweeted.

She continues, “F##k that Cover F##K @VibeMagazine yall wrote a bunch of negative bulls—- that I never said or did. Yall don’t give a f**k that I have a Mom & Family that’s gonna read that fake a** s**t I gave yall a truthful interview & Yall f****d me. I’m so sick of keeping my mouth shut I didn’t ask for this life it was handed to me I was nothing but nice to everyone I spoke to @ Vibe.”
In the Vibe story, Rose who is currently dating rapper Wiz Khalifa, revealed details about her life post-Kanye West, her relationship with Reggie Bush, why her story is relatable and being iconic.

In the last two years, Rose has taken her notoriety and attempted to build a brand for herself. She signed with Ford Models in 2009, and has appeared in a host of hip-hop videos. At one point, she was pitching a reality show about her plans to launch her own line of eyewear.

Her recent Twitter rant has stirred up speculation that it may be an attempt to help boost magazine sales. At press time, Vibe had yet to issue a statement regarding Rose’s allegations.

Vibe’s June/July Sexy Issue is a double cover that also features Miami rapper Rick Ross and is scheduled to hit newstands on June 6.

T.I. Covers VIBE, Says Drug Use Started After Trip to Dentist.

As T.I. lingers in prison for a probation-violating drug bust, he is still creating a big media presence in the lead-up to his next album ‘No Mercy.’ The ATL rapper is covering the December issue of VIBE and speaks frankly on his history with drug use. He says that a series of dental surgeries and subsequent use of pain killers due to his rough schedule is responsible for the hold of drugs on his life.

“I had a lot of work done to my teeth,” he explains in a frank interview. “Oral surgery, extractions, six, seven, eight root canals. Between January to February. As soon as I got out, I had a lot of stuff done. In the joint, you eat s—- that is unhealthy for you. I had fillings that fell out and stuff that had to get dealt with. Of course for the pain they gave me oxycontin and hydrocodone.”

He claims that he cut off all drug use, including marijuana and alcohol, in October 2007. He mistook the legality of painkillers as a different sort of substance than those illegal mainstays and eventually developed a certain dependency.

“I had cut off everything — weed, alcohol,” he continues. “Then I get these pills and I start taking them for the pain at first. And then I’m like, Wait_this s—- makes me feel good. And it’s legal. After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might have a drink or smoke a blunt, I took a pain pill. Times when I had 18-, 20-hour days, I’d take a pain pill. And eventually I developed — I guess — the beginning stages of dependence.”
