ESSENCE.COM: Well, there's been a lot of talk in the blogosphere that you were jealous of Beyoncé after making comments about Columbia Records dropping Kelly Rowland.
T-BOZ: (Laughs.) First of all, if I'm going to be jealous of anyone I'm going to be jealous of my damn self because I can't even do TLC again because that was a phenomenal once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I can never get back. For the record, I'm not jealous of Beyoncé. I like her and Destiny's Child, because if folks remember, TLC went on tour with them for two months when they were just starting. The blogs like to twist things and make something out of nothing. I was simply expressing my thoughts on girl groups in general and that my personal choice would never be to put myself in a situation where I'm in a group that is managed by one of the group member's parents. I think that Mathew and Tina have done a great job, so it's no diss to them or not taking away anything from what they've accomplished. I just know what would not work for me, because, at the end of the day, if a manager has a personal relationship with someone in the group they are managing, they are always going to have that person's interest first and foremost and that's all I was expressing.

Damon Dash unveiled his new 2-door luxury SUV at the Baselworld watch expo in Switzerland recently. Why he debuted a car at a watch show? Beats me. But I suspect it's because the truck was designed by Dame's luxury timepiece and jewelry brand, Tiret New York. Anyway, get this: The truck got diamonds in it. Based on the Range Rover Sport body, the truck has accents throughout that match Tiret's opulent oversized, bejeweled timepieces by designer Daniel Lazar. 
"Tom Joyner is a radio legend, so I don't blame his fans for being upset about his leaving. But here's the deal: I spoke to Tom about it in depth as friends and as men; he knows I had nothing to do with this. I was told on Friday that it "might" happen and I was out on Monday and didn't think anything more about it. Tom found out on Monday. On Monday, I get a call from my manager saying we are leaving WGCI to go to V103, which are both owned by Clear Channel. I say, "That's Tom's station," and he simply tells me that Tom's leaving."
For about the third time this year Little Wayne is being sued for using an unauthorized music sample. First Karma Ann Swanepoel sued Weezy for sampling her song 'Once' on his 'I Feel Like Dying' track, then The Rolling Stones sued Weezy for releasing a remixed version of their song 'Play With Fire' and now he's being sued by Atlanta music producer Mali Boy who says Wayne lifted the beat from his track 'Crush' to lace 'Ms Officer'.
