Jul312009Trey Songz Apologizes To Fans For Racy Honey Mag Interview
R&B singer Trey Songz apparently has struck a nerve with some of his the readers of Honeymag.com, so much so issued an apology via is blog.
While out on promo I’ve learned that my Honeymag.com interview is being heavily talked about. Although I’ve never read the magazine I thought the questions prepared for me were indicative of the type of magazine that Honey is. In response to my interview, I want to take this opportunity to apologize to my fans if anything I said offended anyone. I was simply being honest. The interview was done in fun and not with the intention of being shocking or offensive. For the blogs and people who take things out of context (conveniently dismissing my several references to safe sex), I do not have a STD nor do I practice unprotected sex. I look forward to using this misinterpretation as an opportunity to highlight the importance of safe sex to my fans. I’ve always practiced and promoted safe sex and even wrote a song about it (Store Run – 2007). I shared an isolated incident that happened 8 years ago when I was a teenager. Lastly, I did, as I do in every interview, answer the questions that were asked. Lighten up folks LOL
BONG!
While the interview was explicit and a little “TMI” in my opinion it was for grown folks. The interview and the comments Songz made was not nearly as bad as you hear on an satelite radio show or read in a men’s magazine.

What’s the difference between the chick you make your girl, and someone who’s just a jump?
My girl gets love. A jump gets sex.But how do you decide if you’re going to make her your main girl or not?
Character traits. Once you kick it with a person long enough you start see what they are around for.And what are your favorite things to use in the bedroom?
My tongue and my penis (laughs).Allllright. You don’t use toys?
No, I have before, but I ain’t really into it.Photog: AdMedia

When you are in college you find many creative ways to make the ends meet, including picking up a skill here and there. Ryan Leslie wasn’t any different, while he attended Harvard University he cut hair from his dorm room.
“I was a little bit of a rebel in college,” he told us at Grey Goose Entertainment/BET’s “Rising Icons” fete Monday night at 1OAK. “You aren’t allowed to run businesses [at the university], but I did it anyway. It was a barber shop called Shady Eights —’Shady’ because I wasn’t supposed to, and ‘Eights’ because it was $8 [per cut].”
He added proudly, “There was a line every weekend. All the frat boys would come and get haircuts.”
I would have never guessed Ryan Leslie was barber.
