In a recent exclusive interview with Bossip, Common discusses his true love. It may not be who you think…
Peep what he had to say about being sexy:
I feel more manly than anything. You know, like I’m a man; that’s what I feel like. Sexy is something that any real cat that I know ain’t gon try to be. If you are that, then you are that. That’s up to those that are observing to check out.
Trust us, Common, we are.
Listen to the full interview
Read the full text of the interview plus what he had to say about Serena, Erykah, and Alicia when you pop the hood.
Bossip: So, tell us about your current relationship.
Common: Oh, you mean me and hip hop? (he laughs)
Bossip: Not quite. I’m talking about you and Serena Williams.
Common: Man, honestly, my biggest relationship is with hip hop. I love music. Serena Williams is definitely someone that I love as a friend. And, I respect Venus Williams and I’m friends with their family. You know, they good people. I respect the love. I think Alicia Keys is great, Erykah Badu is incredible. The point I’m making is that my relationship is really with hip hop. That’s my focus right now.
Hip hop may be his main dish, but he’s definitely been loading up on a scoop of Erykah, Alicia and two gargantuan DOUBLE scoops of Serena. We ain’t mad…

toocute 11/17/08, 08:13:PM
THATS GREAT COMMON IS HONEST ABOUT WHAT HIS FOCUS IS RIGHT NOW HIP HOP NOT A RELATIONSHIP,THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUR SERENA ARE SO IGNORANT ,ON THIS SITE.
sepia830 11/17/08, 08:14:PM
Serena just looks like she has feminine odor issues. Ugh…
Meso 11/17/08, 08:15:PM
On the real, if a female artist were to say that “Im in love with Hiphop” would the public scrutinize her? Play on playa, it was the best answer when you’re keeping your options open:)
DEJA 11/17/08, 08:28:PM
the best answer when you keeping your options open but still wanna smash is to call a broad a friend, then turn around and profess your love for said friend lol … he took a note from the give em false hope chapter from “How to fuck females without alienating people” … but ive never questioned common’s sexuality until he started hooking up with serena. how else can you explain a man wanting to be touched by someone with hands as a body as buffed as yours?? just dont seem right
tastycoco 11/17/08, 08:44:PM
hi i love you i changed my name
Wenzel Dashington 11/17/08, 08:47:PM
Common is obviously confident in his manhood, if you catch my drift…

Toni Montana 11/18/08, 07:54:AM
common is a thrice proven hypocrite. so i dont get down with him. But he is right. Nothin more sexy than a MAN. No Murse. No texturizer. No MAN-icures. Just a Man as nature intended.
