Young Jeezy’s views on the comments Keyshia Cole made recently in an interview in Essence Magazine:

Aww man, ya know, I guess it’s publicity season everybody trying to sell records. Can’t knock her for that but I ain’t really tripping because that don’t pertain to me. She can’t obviously be talking about me. It’s publicity season, everybody’s doing what they do, so I guess that’s what that is.

Click here for a reminder of what Keyshia said in the interview. It’s obvious to us that she was talking about him. So now Jeezy’s claiming she’s fu*kin for publicity. The Snowman knows he was heartbroken when she shut him down on the marriage proposal. Poor thang.

Kim Porter is making the rounds whoring out her story of Diddy cheating and fathering a baby by an Atlanta woman, Sarah Chapman, about the same time she was pregnant. Via Essence

“I wasn’t even coming from the place of who, what, why,” Porter tells the magazine. “I laid low and did what women do: I did my background work, collected information [about the other woman]. But I wasn’t even on it like that because I was pregnant, and what was bubbling inside me was a blessing from God. I couldn’t let my energy be on that. I didn’t have time for any drama, trauma and bull—-.”

, “It’s not an original script. He’s not the first man who’s cheated. He’s not the first man who’s had a baby outside of his relationship. He’s not the originator of this. But at this point in my life – I have girls now – it’s a different program.”

“I would have preferred to find out from him because that’s a man,” she says. “I know it’s hard for anyone to say to their significant other, ‘I’ve gotten into some s— and I got a baby on the way.’ But men do get caught up in things; I’m not naive to that. Still, there’s a right and a wrong way to handle it. Because, most of all, we were friends. Even if I couldn’t have understood it as a woman, I would have understood it as a friend.”

Kim knew he was cheating all along, that’s what happens when a celebrity likes to hit raw and is willing to fork over 100K+ in child support payments. SMH.
