Fantasia is looking fab for the May 2013 issue of UPSCALE. Check out her cover look inside, and whay she has no regrets about being so open about her life…
Fantasia’s got a new album out tomorrow, Side Effects of You, a new look, and a fresh and healthy perspective on life these days. But even though she let us see all the drama she went through in her past that made folks question her parental and emotional stability, the "Without Me" singer doesn’t regret a thing.
A few excerpts from her brand new UPSCALE cover story:
On being open and honest: "Everything that I’ve talked about and put out there, it’s helped someone. It might not have helped the person who had something smart to say or had a joke or whatever, but there’s 10 other people that’s inspired by my story. So I wouldn’t change anything. I’m just going to continue to be that person that is open and honest because that’s me, that’s Fantasia."
On loving herself: "The first thing I want is peace, peace of mind. Being able to be comfortable in my own skin, being able to say ‘this is what I want to do’ instead of trying to please everybody else."
On people relating to her: "The things that I go through, people go through everyday. I’ve had some rough times and some moments that I wouldn’t say I’m very proud of, but I can say that for me, I’m glad that I was able to let it out. I believe that’s when we become not real, that’s when we become fake—when we try to make things look like it’s just so perfect."
Check out her newest interview with OMG! Insider about how she lost a lot of friends, family & money due to the suicide attempt, controversial relationships and other drama in her life, but says she’s not worried about any of it:

Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess. In the brand new single, produced by FLEXONTHEBEAT, TyMaz, and Marshak, Dugg calls out those who try to ride his wave without putting in the work, cementing his stance in the rap game.
