Bossip in December GQ
Posted by Bossip Staff
We were part of GQ’s ‘The Verge 25′ in the December issue. GQ’s Will writes:
I like the web site Bossip.com-a gossip site about black celebrities. The tone is the familiar snark, but it’s funnier than any of the other sites. And they play favorites in a great way; some people are clearly marked targets, while others catch a lot of breaks.
Sample headlines from today: “Did Rihanna Gank Ciara’s Dog Swag?” And “Eddie Murphy Would Want To Hit This.”
With over 3 million monthly unique visitors, we are really starting to make it rain on them hoes. A lot of major magazines can’t really fu*k with Bossip’s reach and influence.
Thanks to all the Bossip fam for the support. Peep the scans below.

Congrats for the mention in GQ, but in my opinion C&D have you tied for who’s funniest.

TT
…??
you said all that to go on to say 6th at the end of your comment, once again…

I’M STILL WAITING FOR BOSSIP TO CUT ME A CHECK!
Bossip used to be the shiit but I think that C&D got yall beat too. Fresh is the business!
EVEN THOUGH YALL BEEN FALLING OFF, THIS IS THE ONLY GOSSIP SITE I *****S WITH.
I like ya but some of the stuff ya be posting be getting on my nerves and is so irrelevant but I still like the site.
I agree, Ana and Whatchaknoaboutdat?
i love bossip!!! keep doing ya thing!!! ya heard??
Congrats Bossip! I am so glad y’all got that mention…I agree. Y’all are hilarious (cept for those stupid Alicia Keys lesbian rumours – y’all aint’ right for that) but the rest of it…off the chain.
“A lot of major magazines can’t really fu*k with Bossip’s reach and influence.”
oh reeeaally now? feeling ourselves aren’t we? sooo Bossip…why don’t you guys come out with a magazine??
hmmm
ROTFL @ the comments and bossip.
Congradulashuns BOSSIP. Your a credit to your race. Yall one of the good ones.
But did you hoes ever apologize to the readers for that *****ed up “Pirate” bull*****? Step up to the plate if you didn’t Bossip.
Congratulations Bossip! I definitely see the hype, and you all do it with much less flair. I think that it’s great, keep on doing what you’re doing!
Yo REAL Talk! My MOST FAVORITE SONG YOU EVER MADE MY BROTHA. IM SORRY MAN. I WOULD DIE IF MY MOTHER WAS NOT HERE.
[Chorus]
(Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you
Let me tell you what I’m about to do, (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I’m goin back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)
[Verse 1]
I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine and I’m finna let it shine
I’m finna take yall back to them better times
I’m finna talk about my mama if yall don’t mind
I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn’t give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that mommy cant you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cuz a ***** cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy Imma love you till you don’t hurt no more
And when I’m older, you aint gotta work no more
And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn’t afford
See you’re, unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that’s makin loot
A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Forrest Gump mama said, life is like a box of chocolates
My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
But still supported me when I did the opposite
Now I feel like it’s things I gotta get
Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
You was getting through, can the choir please
Give me a verse of “You, Are So Beautiful To Me�
Can’t you see, you’re like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni, turn one page and there’s my mommy
Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet
Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I guess it also depends tho, if my ends low
Second they get up you gon get that Benzo
Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama)
[Verse 3]
Tell your job you gotta fake em out
Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out
To a restaurant, upper echelon
Imma get you a jag, whatever else you want
Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like?
Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right
It don’t gotta be Mother’s Day, or your birthday
For me to just call and say (Hey Mama)
Congrats to bossit but who is C&D???????
WOW, THERE IS A PHOTO OF RIHANNA AND HER NAME IS MENTIONED. RIHRIH IN THE HOUSE, WATZUP!
BTW, I HOPE KANYE READS ABOUT BOSSIP WHEN HE WHINES/CRIES/THROWS TANTRUM WHEN HE DOESNT GET AN AWARD.
KANYE, I LEARNED OF UR BABY-WHININ AND ***** DIVA ATTITUDE FROM BOSSIP.COM. U SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT.
C&D IS CRUNK AND DISORDERLY,ANOTHER BLOG.
BUT I LIKE BOSSIP BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE I CAN FIND THE HYPOCRITES ON EARTH, RIGHT AT BOSSIP’S DOORSTEP.
BARBADOS IN THE HOUSE. RIHANNA, I LOVE U. DONT MIND THESE HATERS ON BOSSIP, OR IN BARBADOSM OR ANYWHERE ELSE.
Why does a blog so large and WHITE OWNED have to steal from smaller blogs then?
Congrats Bossip. You guys are alright with me. (In response to the C%D comments)Fresh from C&D has a funnier, more creative spin on events so definitely more laughs on my part, but the posts aren’t updated as much. (In addition, I know she is a sista and that matters to me when I read posts about black celebs) It just depends on what you like.
You guys make me laugh just like the fool that runs mediatakeout! Keep up the laughs.
CNN BREAKING NEWS: Redskin Sean Taylor dies
RIP and condolences to his family!!
Hmmm. How should I put this?? Bossip is like a nicca u know u shouldn’t mess with but u just can’t help urself. He’s funny charming and has good friends (in this case the other posters, which is another main reason i eff’s with bossip but then I guess I’m kinda like a hoe then cuz I like bossip’s posters more than bossip?? hmmm lmao JOKING) but yea bossip is good in my book…
But ONE MORE THING – Go back to Haloscan ( i guess i can equate that with having a little….well u get the idea
…..lmao
Yes, compare to Richromances.com. I prefer Bossip.com
Ah, Bossip… you have arrived! Congrats. Ya’ll make me laugh.

@ ‘Snickers’
I said that to tell you that you are takin up the same amount of *****e posting a comment about people reppin their position as those just reppin. Just scroll past it or are u just that *****???……..thats what I am saying
Oh, congrats Bossip!!
(WALKING TO THE MIC. ON STAGE)(TAKING TROPHY FROM TROPHY WOMEN WITH BEARD A.K.A. ANDRE)
1ST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK G.O.D. FOR GIVING ME A SENSE OF HUMOR. THANKS TO THE MORNING CREW FOR MAKING PEOPLE SPIT COFFEE THRU THEIR NOISES DUE TO LAUGHTER, AND BRINGING TEARS TO THEIR EYES…WHAT IT DO BOO BOO’S!!!! THANK U BOSSIP FOR MAKING IT CONSTANTLY “RAIN ON THEM HOES” ERRRRDAY!!!!!
too bad bossip has their “favorites” while others are always targets….GQ got that right.
hell when Bossip talks about their target person they will print any kind of bull***** about the person…and females will always be their main target….to attack.
Congrats Bossip!
Congrats Bossip, even though y’all are a bunch of haters. Can we please see the faces behind the site? Or is this really ran by a bunch of old white dudes?
bossip, learn humility. you ain’t making it rain on *****ody. This gossip business ain’t that *****ing hard. You’re just doing something that a thousand of other people are doing and what others can do. How bout you focus on your writing and interviewing skills. There is nothing cute about bragging at all.
Bossip PLEASE get over yourselves!!!!
I like Bossip, but honestly, you guys are not my favorite site!! Concreteloop is my 1st stop in the morning!! They have more credible gossip! Bossip is one step away from Mediatakeout!! And you know that is awful if Im comparing yall to them!
I couldn’t agree more. I am an executive and I ALWAYS NEED my Bossip! The sister with an office next door (who I put on), is always coming over to chat about something we saw. I only have to remember to change the screen out when others come in! Keep it up!
Bossip is the truth. I put all my peeps on as well. Keep doing your thang Bossip!
Good Morning TT
I see you’re still at it huh…it was a JOKE birdbrain, pipe down!!
but yea…I’m just that *****!! Thanks for noticing.
I’ll forgive you for your foolishness this time, but lets not make trying to get my attention a habit okay, kay!!
I like Bossip but they really are I think white owned right? They own Flisted, MingXingYao, Lossip, and another site if I am not mistaken. This thus far is the most popular one, this Bossip site.
My favorite goes to C&D though. Then Bossip for me. SandraRose is good too. I don’t f*ck with ConcreteLoop as much. Too fan-ish.
Go Bossip..its yo birthday, get that BridgeCard, every Thursday!! LOL!!!
i mean, of course yall are getting much play in white media. Your white! please prove to me that your not white and i will apologize for the accusations. but until then, just stop trying to be so one sided. fair and balanced, thats all we ask for.
kudos bossip. *clapping my hands*..NOT!!!!
Bossip,
Why ya’ll actin like the cousin who’s on the six o’clock news and they call everyone in the family to tune in for their interview, and then when you see them they look like a deer in headlights.
Oh yeah, congratulations, but call me when you’re in People!!
Gone head Bossip!
Talk about blowing your own horn, eh?
lol
This site is funny, cr*****, crude, relentless and unapologetic (for the Emmitt Till comment U b*tches
made)….but I keep coming back.
Bossip is still run by a bunch of loathing ***** queens if you ask me though……..how U doin?!
congrats Kayne and condolensces on your mom, I’ll save the ugly jokes.
I THINK he wears eyeliner
